@rickygervais I don’t mean to bother you in Twitterverse but I just wanted to say that I think you’re selling yourself short by simply labeling yourself an atheist. Not that labels matter. But I do think you’re a modern skeptic of the Pyrrhonian sort....
If I weren’t a Christian I confess I’d be a Pyrrhonian skeptic. They’re intelligent and a much-needed balance to our society even (especially) in this modern age. I think it’s also why many people are drawn to you but also don’t understand you. You hate dogmatism...
