  > Presumably he wouldn't cite the convergence towards atheism if he'd consider it mistaken. Same could be said of agnosticism, which he also specifically mentions. Probably an atheist if you're just listing that as a more probable position things could "converge" towards-- I was really just surprised at brobdingnagians' confidence in Maudlin's religious views, based on a passing reference to the entire body of philosophers, from which inference brobdingnagians later levels a charge of hypocrisy, because elsewhere Maudlin discloses an unevidenced belief when pressed on another (nonreligious) matter without even indicating how strongly he holds that possible hunch. Thought it was worth an aside that brob might not have perfectly pinned Maudlin down.
