He does not like to be attached to any labels but as an agnostic I agree what he says about the attitude of some atheists.

Neil sells science better than anyone. He makes everyone want to study science.

I like his view on this even though my claim is that I am atheist. The big problem with this IMO is that others with similar views start in talking nonsense to you that is worse than any god belief and way harder to believe. It's easy for me to claim that ancient sheep and goat herders who did not know where the sun went at night decided to tell us where everything came from and how we all got here. A ridiculous fallacy. This gets very strained when others who claim to believe as I do bring in beings from other galaxies to make up their story book. Got any evidence? A lot of people seem to think that evidence for things starts out as something you cannot explain. There are lots of things we cannot explain.

Have identified as "atheist" for some years now by being certain that mythical beliefs, super-natural, does not exist. I listen to this, and may well be leaning toward adopting "agnostic" as a more sensible definition of how I think. A superb argument just made...

Evasive, I would say. Diplomatic, might be unjustifiably kind. He wants to be loved, you see, and he doesn't want to offend all those religious people who might not love him anymore were he to adopt a 'label'.

I prefer straight talking people, myself. Even if I don't agree with them.

I am with him.
