Cons: you will probably find that world wide interest in well-made dolls houses has not exactly flourished in recent years but they still exist. Like atheists, dolls house makers go about their work, alone but not lonely, happy in the knowledge of their worth to those who care.

:AlanE, you didn't show why atheism is an attractive worldview and why it is not an unattractive worldview.

:Second, if you have data from respectable sources that refutes the [[Atheism and loneliness]] article, please present it. The article is well-sourced with nearly 100 footnotes from respectable sources and is backed by sound data. Right now, you are merely complaining about a sub-article that relates to it. By the way, the atheism and loneliness  article is one of my more popular new articles. In about 16 months, it nearly has 10,000 page views.

:Thirdly, using the definition of atheism that encyclopedias of philosophy use, you are not an atheist (see: [[Definition of atheism]]). You are an agnostic.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 03:30, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

:::Ah mate...you tend not to be particularly good around metaphors. (Though that was not a particularly good one... obtuse might describe it.)

::Sometime during 1992 my wife prevailed upon me to make her a dolls house. Consequently I disappeared into my "shed" for a week or so and came out at the end of it with a dolls house. I can't remember the daily details of the project but do recall a day with sleet coming in horizontally and the shed stove roaring appropriately and Brahms turned right up when I made the staircase that connected the three floors. It's hard to explain so perhaps I can ask you to upload pictures I send you onto my user page.

:Why I mention this now was my realisation that the time I spent in my wind-battered shed that day with the roaring fire and the smell of wet beagle fighting the familiar scent of eucalyptus wood dust and (later) polyurethane  was about the same expiration of time you have expended on your latest "atheism and" type project. After 24-odd years my work looks brand new.

Oh! Forgot. Whatever monicker you want to put on what you think is my world view is all right with me. Just don't call me a poseur. You know I'm not. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] ([[User talk:AlanE|talk]]) 04:48, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

:::AlanE, I moved the conversation as it does not relate to the [[Unattractiveness of atheism]] article.
