One thing that I find particularly interesting about Atheism is the image of the God that they disbelieve in. They think of "God" as the Archetypal "Sky Daddy", who is sitting on a throne made of clouds and has a big white beard just like Santa Claus. Now, if that is "God", then call me an Atheist. And if that's "God", then you probably are an Atheist as well. Next, I find that many Atheists will agree that Nature and the Universe is 1) Amazing 2) Mysterious 3) Higher Order 4) Etc. 5) Etc.
You see they are just too stubborn to redefine and revise their imagination of what "God" could and could not be. They are unwilling to question deeper. And so they reject some Fantastical Idea of God that nobody since the Dark Ages believes in, anyway.

I don't believe in the skydaddy deities, but any other kind of god definition is to be questioned as well.

I think most atheists would agree with that, except for nr. 3.

I haven't defined God. I do believe in God. But beyond the known Universe I cannot define God. Maybe God is one way, Maybe God is another way, I simply don't know. Maybe God is Brahma the Universal Man. Where each day of Brahma opens his eyes and the Universe is born, (big bang), and each night of Brahma closes his eyes and the Universe is destroyed, (big crunch). Maybe, maybe not. I do believe in God, I just simply don't know everything there is to know about God.
