It seems strange to me that a simple "lack of belief" would compel such passionate evangelism.

I don’t understand.  Are you calling me a liar and suggesting I do not lack the belief in the existence of a god?  Or that anyone who holds the weak atheist position has no right to reply to religious lecturing?

If it’s really all that strange to you and bothering you, don’t read it.

I was commenting on this...

Note two things: 1) You do not need knowledge in order to have belief or not have belief. 2) The atheist position is NOT making the claim that “No gods exist”. The atheist position is that they *lack the belief* in god. There is a big difference.

So it is the "atheist position" I am addressing and am unsure how it became about your own personal level of honestly. (there is a big difference) Having said that, we are all liars, you and I included. So there's that. Apart from that, even as an aspiring poet, I most times articulate my ideas with imperfect eloquence. What I meant to say was...

Apologies for the confusion.
