I agree that there are many atheist philosophies to choose from...perhaps as many of them as there are of the religious philosophies. What I find, though, is that people usually just attach themselves to the philosophy they like best at a gut level, and because of familiarity...and then set about justifying and defending it after the fact. They all think they're "right".

Yeah well you got really cross when I told you how patronising you are and here you are doing it again par excellence. You simply can't help it, can you, imagining yourself floating above the rest of us in some kind of assumed benign judgemental/analytical mode. If you have any idea of an "atheist philosophy" or two "to choose from", well let's have 'em, chapter and verse. As for me, my atheism, as I'm bloody sick of telling you, can be summed up in a couple of sentences. Here is it is again, boringly, in the hope that it will shut you up about your bogus "atheist philosophies" once and for all, you pompous twit:

"The laws of science as we understand them explain almost everything we know about the universe, and the stuff we have yet to understand, through current lack of evidence or technique, is rapidly being closed in on. The idea of some kind of supernatural being who explains the universe is the stupidest idea in existence, because, not only is there no evidence for such a being, and no need under the laws of nature for such a being (he would have to break every law in any case), his existence would raise infinitely more questions than answers, all of them unanswerable, therefore the proposers of his existence are utterly deluded."

No philosophy there, old chap, just a bit of fact, a bit of logic and a bit of a big shrug.
