Yeah I'd say it's a matter of definitions... I love reason, and objectivity. Policy should be based on that. I still have no problem with others believing what they will.. This hasn't been answered yet though; why would the atheistic types believe it's not possible that aliens exist? Is it merely that the odds are low, and that we haven't observed them yet? In that case, I'd hope you would see the flaw if that thinking were the norm; nobody would be flying supersonic jets if 100 years ago we just said "nah, it's not possible, we can only believe in what we've previously observed."
I also enjoy this discussion and it's amazing but even on the interwebs it's been pretty civil!

And no politics have been brought up.
