@carneyfex Atheism kills people?, Huh? How and why?
-
Agnosticism is the default type of atheism. Gnostic atheists believe that there is no god, where as agnostic atheists do not believe that there IS a god. The difference is one claims the non existence of something, where as the other simply rejects the claim that somethign DOES exist; a neutral standpoint.

Is it just me or is Shermer more of an atheist now?
-
I respect Michael Shermer's opinions and skeptical approach, but he says that an atheist saying "I have no belief in a god" usually entails anti-religion, anti-Christianity, antisemitism, etc.
Based on what? I'm an atheist, because I have no belief in any theistic gods that I've learned about, not because I'm anti-Christian, antisemitic, or anti-religious, any more than I'm anti-witch, anti-leprechaun, or anti-ghost. On other subjects he says "Show me the evidence." As for gods, he tiptoes.

Did he say "militant" atheist?
Why is it, for a Christian or Muslim to be "militant", they gotta kill people, but to be a "militant" atheist you have to question and reject religions/gods?
Intelligent and very reasonable guy.

I applaud Michael Shermer efforts to help us gain a better understanding of our world thru science.
And I share his rejection towards psychics, mind readers, miraculous healers and so.
