I think it's just letting "the other side" frame the debate. Although I do get your point about there not being a debate to begin with, if those external forces did not exist. But, the thing is, they do exist. And specifically opposing them is just validating their position, to me. I am an Atheist, if Atheism means disagreeing with the vast majority of monotheistic doctrine. But, I'm not feeling like letting their stupid asses define what I am. I'll call the shots, on me. Am I an Atheist? No, I just disagree with some specific things.
