This guy misses the point of the term 'atheist'. Atheism does not require a person to believe anything, only to not believe in theism. It's irritating when atheists try to make atheism something more than it is. Atheism is not a belief system! An "atheistic view" is a view of the world free of a belief in a god. Some atheists try to turn atheism into a belief system because they have ideas kicking around in their head, and label themselves as an "atheist", so they try to associate the two. In-fact, the term 'atheist' should only be used when religion is being discussed, like Sam Harris says, we don't refer to people that don't believe in astrology as non-astrologers.
