> Strict atheism asserts there is no god with the same lack of evidence that religious people believe that there is. Which is why you'll meet almost nobody that's a 'strict' atheist by that definition, and I'm afraid that I think this is a straw man, much more than the accusation you level in the following sentence - > Of course many atheists will point to some specific religious belief as being unlikely without evidence, but that is a strawman Not when they are actually closely held beliefs. What do you think it the proportion of religious people that have closely examined their beliefs in a philosophical manner and found an unanswerable question and recognised Dualism in their outlook? Because in my experience of religious people, their beliefs have been every bit as literal as the ones the atheists lambast and which you write off as a straw man. It's the philosophically minded apologists that are the rarity.
