Do you like how Dawkins, Hitchens et al. represent atheists?

Once again: clear and precise "scientific" definitions come after understanding, not before.

"Meme", like "force" or "cause", seems to be a pretty useful term/concept in spite of the lack of a clear definition, and the probablity that it's a shorthand or heuristic for something quite different in fundamental nature.

And having coined a few terms or concepts useful in discussion is not the core of Dawkins's "representation of atheism".

How about "any nameable coherency that must be learned and can be taught" ?

btw: Darwinian evolution does not proceed through chains of cause and effect. The "cause and effect" laws of the universe do not produce Darwinian evolution. That does not mean a miracle is required, or assumed.

No but empiricism still precedes conclusions. Or have they changed that as well?
