@tobeyourselfisall atheists are more rational and those that she mentioned in the video have more evidence for whatever it is they think than any religion. ufo's, conspiracies, anything like that has some evidence. so you should probably look at whether something has evidence or not before saying anything is irrational. "holy" texts are irrational because there is nothing to support them, ufo's and maybe some conspiracies actually have at least something in their favor.
Kept it down b/c there were people studying in the other room.
There are plenty of atheists that are not skeptical - those that support homeopathy, antivax, etc,
Atheism does not require use of the scientific method. It only requires that there is no belief in god. There should be a distinction btwn that & humanism.
I agree with you on faith.
RDF award isn't given by Dawkins - but by AAI, which lead to my disappointment that they gave the award to someone very antiscience.

Her point wasn't that atheism in itself is irrational, but that atheist also can hold irrational beliefs.
I for one commend healthyaddict for holding tabs on our selves. Critical thinking requires one to check your own beliefs again and again.
