There is a style common to many atheists, including:

a disbelief of almost anything unseen, including love and the invisible hand
a view that most of science is known and understood, in contrast to Isaac Newton's view that little is known
a view that each generation of humans is smarter, or at least smart, than the generation before
a disbelief of intrinsic beauty
a focus on materialism
a pessimistic view of life
among scientists, a belief in never-detected gravitons, black holes, dark matter, super strings
a belief in never-detected life in outer space
a religious-like devotion to newspapers and public schools for information
a reliance on hearsay and a perception (often wrong) of what most people think
