Again, atheism is not a belief system. HBs post shows only his own bias and over reliance on analogy. I was just waiting to see where olive oil and ghee came into it all, and would have appreciated mention of how we've evolved tastes for lots of things which are seriously detrimental to our health.

This doesn't cause me concern or doubt in the least. The simple fact is that this is a group of people coming together and defining themselves with certain perspectives. It very much is an ideology, but it's not one which is global. It's a local description to which only a subpopulation of people subscribe.
