It's not true that the 'average' of today have more than the wealthiest of the past. The wealthiest of the past always had things like gold and stocks that could be traded for services that most can't access, and the ability to travel. They always had land and deeds to property that the average don't. They had large places to live, more time to eat their food, and were more certain of food and a place to live for their children.

There's no "wonder of market capitalism" unless you WONDER at factory wastelands, large islands of plastic in the ocean, slaves in china, communities of people who live off trash-drumps in Mexico, people burning to death in factories in Thailand, and ecological collapse due to short-sighted "market capitalism."
Come on,
WAKE UP! Wealth of the U.S. and Europe is due to theft, genocide, slavery, and imperialism.

you can't be an 'extreme atheist' any more than you can be an 'extreme' disbeliever in elves.

Furthermore if the concept is introduced as incoherent, unknowable, off limits, etc., then one who ignores it totally is an "atheist", by definition, one who doesn't use the word or concept.

If you can't articulate what is your 'possibility of god' is, then it's safe to reject it.
