I didn't say slightly more did I? <g>

How can one be an extremist atheist? If one simply states that the tooth fairy does not exist ... that is just a statement of fact. You can't become more extreme than the simple declarative sentence.

I suspect what you are actually responding to is that I don't much care for hypocrisy or acts of hate rationalized by appealing to a higher good. And to the cause of intellectual integrity I am fully committed.
