 Now, formulating this premise in the way that I have implies a level of certitude I'm hesitant to claim. It's one thing to say that I, an atheist, am a moral skeptic. It's much bolder to say that moral skepticism necessarily follows from atheism. However, I think I can make a convincing argument.
 
-While I am not a theologian or philosopher, I imagine most theists would agree that their epistemological approach to God and religion differs at least somewhat from their approach to other areas of knowledge. (Please correct me if I'm mistaken.) This is how you get evolutionary biologists who believe in Creation, and free-market capitalists with a Catholic concern for social justice. By contrast, most atheists are atheists because they are unwilling to make the leap of faith necessary to justify religious belief. Their epistemological approach is the same for God as it is for physics, biology, or anything else -- including morality.

 But before we get to that, let's back up: what is the atheistic approach to epistemology? The Mahers and Gervaises of the world would have you believe it's simply "science" or "reason" or (my least favorite) "rationality," with apparent disregard for the actual, seperate concepts those terms denote. Dawkins's atheist advocacy group is named the "Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science," the blantant implication being that religion precludes an appreciation for those faculties. The simple fact that both Ayn Rand-style [libertarianism](http://reason.com) and the leftist egalitarianism of many (most?) New Atheists claim "reason" as the bedrock of their ideologies is compelling evidence that reason alone is insufficient as a means toward truth. Good reasoning from bad premises leads to bad conclusions. It is especially baffling that Dawkins, who by all accounts has made enormous contributions to evolutionary science, does such a poor job of making this point.
