Michael Enquist commented on Jennifer Hancock's blog post Atheism isn't enough - and it isn't very satisfying

"This is a good start. It seems strange to me that a group of people who claim to hold critical thinking in high regard need to be reminded that atheism is not a world view. It is just a small part of many different world views, as Jennifer has…"
