Despite Derbyshire’s witty writing style, it seems to the same material to which we are accustomed. Atheism is the rejection of any and all divine claims. In general, atheists are strict naturalists who deny the supernatural. The idea that atheism and the selective beliefs of a theist are equivalent does not bear close scrutiny. Someone who believes in one god can agree with a polytheist or a pantheist that reality is not limited to that which is perceivable by the senses. An atheist generally cannot say that.
