My position hasn't really changed since I was calling myself agnostic. I just realized that I am an atheist as far as religion is concerned. "Holy" books and the religions they spawn are not based on any substantial facts.
That is not to say that I fail to realize that there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in my philosophy. Maybe there is an intelligence behind the scenes. But I can't accept such a claim without proof.
On Dr. Dawkins' scale, I am probably somewhere between 5 and 6.

Well, Dawkins claims he is only 6.9 ... as a scientist, he must leave room for error.
Crazy Scientists! :)
