Anyone who unquestioningly asserts atheism is being no more logical than those who would assert theism. There is no absolute answer to the theism/atheism question, regardless if you point to the strong anthropic principle (as theists will do), or if you point to the inequality of proving a negative with proving a positive (as atheists will do). Only agnosticism avoids the pitfalls of dogma.
