I prefer condeming them on fun theory grounds. Even if they're right, it would still be boring.
Well a theist could just as easily condemn atheism on fun theoretic grounds for being to depressing, or for removing the wonder from the world.
which i regard as valid.
I'd be interested in discussing the matter with anyone who did so. It doesn't seem to me that either depression nor a lack of wonder follow from atheism, so I'd be curious about their inferential path.
Well a lot of people have that impression of atheism, not entirely without justification as the OP demonstrates.
Religion is also not necessarily boring, although a lot of people have that impression.
