This is such a bunch of cobblers I don't know where to begin. We don't "tend to lean", we utterly reject supernatural claims, for exactly the reason you quote, that we ask for but get no evidence (and that such claims are childish and insult the intelligence). We don't "not believe in deities", so we don't develop rationales. The deities are your problem, not ours. The problems of evil/inconsistent revelations, etc., are entirely issues for believers to grapple with, not atheists. They are irrelevant to us. There is no use for those arguments in atheism. All we want believers to do is produce evidence. The dismal lack of evidence for God is all we need. We don't adopt atheistic philosophies because none are possible, and, to reword the last sentence in the quote, there is no ideology or set of behaviours to which any atheists adhere. None of this is to say that we don't find it interesting to argue with believers - after all, we see the damage and the intellectual stunting that religion perpetrates, and we have just as valid a right to take a view on these things as anyone else. At the end of the day all the arguments are easy because they boil down to one simple thing: show us your evidence. <<<

If the above is your idea of speaking for yourself, you need some pronoun lessons.

You really are loony.
