hope you don't "believe" in the dictionary, it implies you are religious, and at that fanatical

Will not even know how people will categories me...
I believe in God yes, but not in different sects as many would have followed!
Sects in terms of your different divisions in community worship: Muslim, Catholic, Baptist... so on. And I will never ever belong to one... I chose the narrow path... just GOD and I only... no one else.
I do not believe in the "community" worship as the only way thru gates of heavens... that is a bunch of selfish man-made up bull.
I believe everyone as an individual is Made in the Image of God, so Allah, Mohammad, Jesus, Moses are all like me. You are... therefore I AM!
I will not believe any less in that above mentioned term... because if you are fellow humans... then you have your say, bible, Koran all in humans' theories... so I have a right to mine!
If God did not personally debate yours ... and he did not mine... mine is for mine to keep.
I believe... yes, my theory will always stand corrected by me because My God did never refute it! And only God can do that, no humans.

The rationalist's worship of science cannot be described in religious terms. Science in and of itself does not come with a slated set of norms outside of "be objective and question everything." Certainly no religion has such a dogma. You suggest we atheists believe "excessively or unquestionably" in science, but science is not a theory, it is a methodology. We atheists do not have to believe in global warming or the Big Bang unless either is proved. Indeed, many agnostic scientists believe in neither theory.
The so-called "values" that an atheist lives by are not value judgments. As an atheist, I do not judge a particular moral quandary on "atheistic" terms, because atheists have no terms. We have only judgments free of religious demands. Thus it makes our judgments of issues like abortion, homosexuality, or pre-marital sex based on entirely empirical views. This is a far cry from religious terms that declare the right or wrong viewpoint to be explicitly obvious. Atheists have to think; theists can automatically declare the truth of their leaders.
Atheism = freedom. Be an atheist, and be free.

Do you think you're being clever?
Atheists have only heard this about 84,000 times. And repetition doesn't make it any better.
