HI sapblatt.

Well written article.

A quick constructive criticism. The only thing I'd say is that, atheism doesn't necessitate critical thought, and I wouldn't say is the sole answer. For example, one could derive at atheism for irrational reasons. Just look at the Buddhist - they're atheist, but irrational and not interested whether their belief's are true or not.

I'd say that skepticism, rational inquiry, reason and critically thinking are the answer. Atheism will come and follow naturally as a result (and/or by product) of this type of thinking method.

But generally I have no issue with the article. Very well written, and I appreciate you sharing with us :-)
