Another non sequitur, which seems to be based on some nasty assumptions about atheism. I am too nice to be an atheist if it means those. I would argue that the believer is close-minded rather than me. By subscribing to one belief, or set of beliefs, about the god-idea, a theist is closed to other possibilities. Since the most successful memeplexes often include punishment for not believing or even for questioning dogma, a closed mind is the theist's safety net.
Skepticism is the human open-mindedness and questioning that has led to science.
The supernatural is a cheap and unsatisfying answer, which never answers anything, and, in fact, closes doors to real knowledge. You worship Science. The existence of air doesn't depend on my belief. If there is a god, my lack of belief makes no difference. I was at the Vermont State Fair, wandering around among the display and vendor booths.
