What's your response to atheists who are not skeptics (or to phrase it another way, people whose atheism is not informed by their skepticism), and believe in ghosts, Bigfoot, alien abduction stories, Nostradamus, water crystals, etc.?

I find them to be annoying blowhards, who think that religion is just another conspiracy, so they pat themselves on the back for wearing their tin foil hats when they walk past churches, so that super secret Catholic Technology they stole from Nikola Tesla can't brainwash THEM, no siree! They're SMARTER than that, man--it's just another way for The Man to keep us from knowing the truth about Area 51, man. You should read this Geocities page from 1997, it tells you all about how the Mayans knew this was going to happen, so they sank Atlantis and then shot JFK. Then you will have your eyes opened, man. It's like, whoa. Totally.

I am partially referring to dogmatism, but also to those atheists who have faith in things like bigfeet or the Loch Ness Monster. For them, the lack of evidence doesn't seem to hinder their beliefs and I call them religious. Or how about those who were convinced the world was going to end in 2012? Some of them believed it like a Christian might believe in the second coming. Maybe they aren't really religious in the normal sense of the word, but their beliefs have elements of religiousity (is that a word?) in them.

^ I think you're both perhaps confusing "Athiests" with "Agnostics who have lumps of wet moss where the brains should be" ;-)

All thiests and athiests should unite in their condemnation of people who believe in aliens, bigfoot and de-toxing etc. I bet the force would have a strong influence on that group of people ;-)
