Who is in charge of deciding what ideas and morals are false? Is there a secret committee that only atheists are members of? I do feel that the point of the fight over religion, God, etc. is that no one has any sort of proof one way or another. There is nothing proving existence or nonexistence that cannot be argued away. Using anything like the scientific method on philosophical questions has no point. It is impossible to run experiments on a point of view.Now, while I will agree that you cannot prove there is no such thing as a deity, I do not see it as any reason to accept or tolerate claims that one exists if there is no evidence backing them. Science is accepting things with evidence, not accepting things with nothing disproving them.
