As a "practicing" atheist, I would disagree that other atheists (including Dawkins) would have their worlds shattered upon discovering the any gods actually did exist. On the contrary, we would have so much new terrain to explore; it would be very exiting. Many folk are under the impression that it is god/ gods that atheists have a problem with. That is not the case. It is the fact that people devote their lives, and the lives of those around them, to fanciful, non-verifiable, wishful thinking that bothers us. The fact that "believers" use their ancient tomes to justify all sorts of behaviour, from benevolent to malicious, greatly disturbs minds that operate using the scientific method. /~rant
