You can't, Atheism casts no reflection, its similar to the vampire thing.
Except of course we can and should eat fruit and vegetables.

Atheism defines other aspects of your identity beyond your lack of belief in God(s)? Do tell.

Bet you the OP will try and tell us that atheism defines our moral identity.

I love that video Reality Salesman, for a more in-depth look here's the full length talk at Edinburgh;

The ant/fluke-human/religion comparison was really something else, I love Daniels talks and intend to read some of his books soon.

Oh great! Thanks. I knew there had to be an extended video somewhere!

Was it you that I was talking about this with the other day? It just seemed relevant since the OP was talking about all things stemming from Christianity. He must be a Young Christianity Creationist, turns out, evolution is the explanation here too...
P.S.

I agree about the fluke thing. Brilliant.

Yeah I brought him up the other day, I find his insights to be incredibly brilliant and this take on religions evolution blew me away. I'd be keen to ask other atheist/agnostics as well as theists what they thought if they'd be willing to watch it.

They would watch it, they would even listen...but would they see or hear? Doubtful.
