Atheists in Foxholes

@fmf said
You talk about atheism as if its a monolithic block. Deathbed conversions and ex-atheists in foxholes illustrate that atheism is a spectrum running from the hard, explicit kind all the way over to a softer, implicit type of atheism or even things like atheistic agnosticism.

I was using 'atheism' in lieu of 'disbelief' to illustrate the point that belief isn't a choice.

Of course there is a spectrum when it comes to atheists.

I tried to make this very point to petewxyz on that thread [that turned out to be] about atheism and he got all bent out of shape and is now teetering between advocating censorship and leaving the forum.
