most are non believers by carelessness rather than conviction. but among the latter atheism by definition surely involves a unifying ideology,-ie. everything must be explained naturalistically, without reference to a Creator.

Heheh. Translator's note:

"...most are non-believers because they couldn't care less rather than out of conviction (the distinction, pete, is relevant). But, among the latter, atheism is defined by the complete lack of any ideology relating to magic, superstition or fear of supernatural beings who almost certainly do not exist. Everything that we can already explain can be explained without recourse to an imaginary creator (in fact, all the evidence is utterly against him, poor chap), and there is no reason at all to believe that stuff we still have to explain will need him either."

I note also your ignorant sideswipe at evolution, a concept arrived at after hundreds of years of honest hard work by scientists.

The life so short,
the craft so long to learn,
Th' assay so hard,
so sharp the conquering.

Get off your arse, pete, scrap the inane prejudices and do some honest study.
