Sorry about that, then. When you classified yourself as a theist, I assumed we were talking about a sect with more.. evangelical beliefs. We could replace your name, however, with the term 'generic Christian X,' however, and get basically the same point. What I was driving at is that atheists tend to believe that their viewpoint is superior because it's based entirely on secular logic, whereas other belief systems simply use another basis for their beliefs. I was attempting to make the point that it's difficult or impossible to state authoritatively that any one religion is superior to another, since it's really all a matter of perspective anyway. On that we seem to be agreed.
