While this entire article is so biased as to be practically unreadable to anyone with half a brain, it is this blind statement that annoys me most.

It may annoy you, but it's true. Materialism *must* be true for the atheist. There is no other alternative. And, the article isn't biased. The author readily agrees that evolution is most likely a fact! If you can explain why this statement that annoys you is false, please do so. By the way, what "faith" of mine do you refer to? I'm a theist, nothing more and nothing less.

Could've fooled me. Do a Google search for "neutral monism" and see what turns up. (Admittedly, Bertrand Russell said that he was an agnostic rather than an atheist, but I think it still stands as a counterexample.)
