Gosh, it must be handy to be able to read.

"Equalities Minister" and "Minister for Equalities" are different expressions.

IMHO the view as to what "atheism" is is best served by saying not that it means a position that god can be proven not to exist (proving a negative - not the thinking pathway), but that he (she or it) cannot be proven to exist so the most sensible position is to say that one does not believe that he (she or it) exists until it is so demonstrated.

It may go further to say that the belief that a god exists is irrational.
