Kyrisch,
"The relationship between the all-encompassing and the truly fundamental is a continuous, not hierarchal one."
But who can see this continuous relationship that you are claiming?
You can only see what you see, and I can only see what I see, and we both can only see it as a human is able to see it.
Here is the exact reason that I consider you are putting yourself in the shoes of an entity that can see the all encompassing and the truly fundamental and everything in-between, in one shot. You are certainly not that entity. So whose shoes are you putting yourself in?
God's?
Which hints at my contention, that the each of us, Atheist and Believer alike, are really doing the same thing when we put ourselves in the shoes of this imagined entity.
We just frame it differently, and explain it differently, and use different words, and build it up with different concepts.
We truely, have to be, imagining the same all encompassing entity, because there is only one universe to consider, and it, the universe, does not change much, just because one human sees it a little differently than another.
Regards, TAR

You are, as well, making claims about reality, so I can ask you "whose shoes are you imagining yourself in?"
Please try to stay focussed. I am merely remarking that every distinction made in reality is imagined by man. You seem to be saying the same thing. As for the rest of what you are saying, I can barely grasp the relevance in the metaphor.
However, as for your imagined entity, I would rather say that it is a projected entity, projected from our senses. And the entity of the atheist is more consistent with our senses than that of the believer and by that metric they are not on equal ground.
