Re: Are Atheists "Philosophically Limited"....?
I say: nay. I say this due to the simple fact that the theist has already made his mind up about which deity he/she believes in. An atheist leaves the option open for ALL deities. This is, of course, in regard only to the philosophical nature of theism, not philosophy itself, as choice of theism does not inherently limit ones philosophical mindset.

Re: How Atheists Saved Philosophy
While many Creationists are open to the possibility that they do not have all the answers and they may in fact be incorrect, many atheists are not willing to admit the same thing.
What bizarre universe do you draw this conclusion from?

Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither and die. We are eternal, the pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything.

Re: Likely vs Unlikely
Even the religious have a phrase for that: "don't be so open minded your brain falls out" ( I say religious because I have seen it on more than one church billboard).
