119. I'm not demanding anyone justify a position that is purely belief.

Rational arguments however carry certain obligations with them. If the NA were arguing that they just wish everyone would stop believing in religion, that's their right. However, when they attempt rational argument and they fail, that should be pointed out. For example, in Dawkins books he claims to be reaching conclusions based on rational argument; but the conclusions he reaches are not supported by his arguments.
