I see atheism as an "against" position, i.e. "against" a description of reality as defined by another belief system. To me, this appears to allow the statement of one's position to be defined by the opposition. An atheist is defined by the existence of theism. Insomuch as atheism is a belief system, it is defined by the characteristis of theism. . . . To me, this is not a thinking person's position. It is, at most, a picket sign.
