Yes, that is eactly the exploitation of the confusion I described
before. On facebook "atheist group" page, they have sent a post saying
tha baby are born atheist because they don't believe in god a priori,
but that means agnostic, with the mundane sense of agnostic.
And also, it is debatable, eventually babies believe that their mother
made it all, and perhaps our parent, or the father (due to machism) is
our first conception of God.
God is the fundamental reality we believe in; at least enough to give
sense to the words "research", "exploration", etc.
People who say that theology is not a science are people usually not
aware of their metaphysical assumptions, making it hard for them to
doubt them. Usually they take fully granted the materialist theology
of Aristotle.
To do science is to practice doubt and being modest. No serious
scientist will ever say that he got the truth.he gives a theory, rules
of deduction, and verification means.

What are you if 'Off' is your favourite TV channel?
I often sit and stare at a blank TV screen and I have a 42" plasma
so it's a pretty full-on experience of No Signal Whatsoever
I love it
This simply means that God is No Signal Whatsoever = Nothing
It was Russell Standish that taught me that Everything is the inside
view of Nothing. I owe the guy a beer. Literally

On the contrary; it is religionists who exploit this confusion to
falsely criticize atheism as "just another faith".
Then, how do you call those who believe that there is no God?
Strong atheists or those who think belief there is a God is a moral
fault, "anti-theists".
