• It is probably true that almost all atheists stand for the values of reason and freethought. I will attempt to put these values in more substantial terms. There is the belief that inquiry and doubt are essential checks against deception, self deception, and error. There is the belief that logic and the scientific method is the only way the world can arrive at an agreement on the truth about anything.

• I am like all other atheists only in that I do not believe there are any gods. Beyond that, I may differ dramatically in my values and beliefs from any other atheist. On both sides of the political spectrum, one can find the neo-conservative Objectivists and the ultra-liberal Communists, both of whom hate each other. These two factions take up nearly opposite sets of values, yet both are comprised of unabashed atheists.

• Demarcar [las palabras de forma que cambie el significado] es simplemente hablar un idioma diferente al de los demás. Y no acepto juegos semánticos de ese tipo. [...] Tenemos que utilizar las palabras tal y como se usan y se entienden realmente. Podemos corregir errores e incoherencias y hacer distinciones. Pero no podemos tratar de endilgar a la gente una lengua ajena.
