>>>...it is as possible for people to be rigid, dogmatic and doctrinaire on any side of any issue.

All you're missing there, Stim, is that there is no equivalence. Atheism is a logical response to everything we know; religion is wishful thinking: the primitive mind's solution for what we can;t yet grasp. <<

Interesting that the point is proved in the argument against it, name calling, rigidity and dogma in a single sentence.

Calling our minds primitive has no basis in fact and undermines your claim to logic.

As Bill D said, some things cannot be proven one way or the other. Claiming that you know absolutely is rigid dogma. Not even Mr Shaw, who you say expresses your views, goes that far.
