Well, I understood the invitation to report anecdotes of unbelief as the equivalent of offering evidence of the meaninglessness of religion. If I misinterpreted your story, I apologize.
But could you say more about the difference between negative theology and atheism. I think most people who call themselves atheists mean that they do not believe in god, nor in any significance to religion or religious feeling in any form....except as a form of delusion -- of self and others.
