Atheism is philosophically unsound, proceeding as it does from unproven and unprovable premises.

Are you aware that Science is philosophically unsound, proceeding as it does from unproven and unprovable premises?

Might Makes Right.

That 'philosophy' tends to permeate religion too. Do I need to point out a few typical examples?

I would ask you to carefully examine the philosophical bases of atheism and reconsider them in the light of reason.

You are confused. Atheism like Science is not based on philosophy or logic. It is based on evidence or the lack thereof, in the case of religion.

Science as I understand is based on theories that are tested: conclusions are drawn based on the evidence used to test those theories. Are you suggesting that religion should replace science or an area of science in particular? <>
