A Major "Blind Spot" For Christian Apologists

I frequently expose myself to Christian apologists and attempt to interact with some of them. In virtually all contact with them, there is a major "blind spot": they view atheists as a monolith. This blog post is a clear and succinct explanation of the two major differences within atheism.

There are two main categories of us: magical thinking atheists; science-based thinking atheists. The former are atheists who are ripe for an emotional appeal and are easily persuaded by arguments such as Aquinas’ Five Proofs for the existence of God. In essence, it is this type of atheist that is liable to be persuaded by philosophical/theological arguments   The latter are much harder to change beliefs as they require sufficient objective evidence. The link below is a look into the thinking of us science-based thinking atheists:
