Fool, I'm just curious. Most of the articles you post are ones

you give us some examples of something concrete (not abstractions

_for_?
I'm no Fool, but he admires Windows 2000 and NTFS. I also think
he admires one religion, "fundamentalist atheism".
*wry smile* How can one be fundamentalist to a lack of belief?
There's a difference between atheism and antitheism.
I think "militant atheism" is a better description of the philosophy
apparently espoused by The Fool.
There is no text from which to be "fundamentalist" for atheism, as far
as I know. "Militant" is a reasonably accurate adjective to denote the
passion with which this philosophy appears to be held.
If anyone is going to be militant regarding religious attitude, I would
prefer to engage in debate with a militant agnostic above all other
militants, personally. ("I don't know and you don't either!" "You're
right, I don't know. Let's go have some lemonade together, OK? Unless
you're allergic to citrus or something.")
