Why is it that if you say it'll rain tomorrow, people assume you mean p=0.75 or something, but if you say there's no god, people assume you mean p=1? Are we supposed to answer every question with, "I'm agnostic about that"?
that's an interesting question. In the case of atheism, it's probably by parallel with the religious people who are certain that there is a God. I don't know whether there are religious people who are almost but not entirely certain that there is a God.
Amen, brother!
