But to roundly dismiss the human instinct for reaching into the infinite, contacting the divine, or otherwise seeking connection with the ultimate Cause in the universe, is a very dull-witted thing to do. Even an atheist keeps on looking.

But to try to find answers, without searching for evidence, in the infinite, the divine or any ultimate cause is a very dull-witted thing to do. Your intellect will be stifled as you dismiss the need for evidence and seek solace in the exceptionally improbable. The great thing about those atheists is that they keep on looking, they relish the search and they don't allow themselves to be diverted by talk of almighty this or supreme that or supernatural the other.

Sorry to reverse-paraphrase you, but on this occasion you do appear to have things somewhat arse about face.
