The "certainty of atheism"
My point is that the "certainty of atheism" is overstated. An atheist simply states "god does not exist" in a pretty similar sense to saying "faeries do not exist." Should god, or faeries show up, they will happily change their minds. However, you don't alter your life under the supposition that either are at all likely to appear. The difference may come up over a misconception on either side about what "certainty" means to the other.
The question is not case sensitive when I test it, and the code that tests is a php strcasecmp which should not pay attention to case, so can you duplicate that for me?
