I read a survey somewhere that said atheists were more dogmatic than the religious. Same might apply here.

You may be right. I didn't look at the survey closely. I just notice it.

No, I was quite proud on behalf of atheists.More likely to admit uncertainty of knowledge but less likely to find different views convincing
