bullshit.  I am sure and I don't give a crap whether you are or not.  Soft 
atheism (aka agnosticism) is for the weak.  Oh wait, I just made a negative 
judgement so that must mean I do give a crap, right?  Not hardly. I LIKE the 
fact that most people are stupid and inferior.

Here's an excellent essay that I think demonstrates how lame your position is:

Pascal's wager is bunk because it assumes that there is no cost to the organism 
in harboring faith, when in fact it is costing him cognition in his life, which 
he expends until his death, afterwhich there is no compelling evidence that his 
existence will continue..  It's a fool's wager.

The key to being atheist is to realize that most people function better as 
superstitious twits, so it's better for the superior atheist to NOT try to 
bully worship of god and magical-thinking away from these people.  They are 
much easier for the atheist to socially exploit if their beliefs are allowed to 
remain intact.  Of course that doesn't mean the atheist has to 'respect 
differences', and allow himself to slide down to notions of 'social equality'. 
 The atheist should always be aware that the believer is inferior and deserving 
of exploitation.  Technically, the believer is literally begging to be 
exploited by superior atheists.  But atheists won't improve their lot in life 
by driving these people crazy with existential angst.
