Couldn't agree more. Atheism is the antithesis of science just like many a religion. It's more of a reactionary ideology to refute faith than anything else. If they claim to be agnostic now that's another story. If they claim to be a stickler for scientific methodologies, how can they fail to recognize this not so subtle distinction and call themselves atheists unless they're pushing their own agenda!
