Putting the issue into context, here's the line: "Some of the central dogmas of atheism include the non-existence of God, the non-existence of afterlife or an immortal soul, that all which exists is ultimately reducible to matter (materialism), and that faith is illegitimate". okay, fair point, but as the word 'materialism' is associated more often with the philosophical definition, rather than the science one, perhaps it would be better to put "(the scientific theory of materialism)" instead of just "materialism". - JamesCA, 31 July 2011

:JamesCA, there is a distinction between the ''philosophical'' definition of materialism (all reality is reducible to matter), and the ''popular'' one (excessive focus on material wealth). It should be obvious from the context that the first definition is meant, not the second. [[User:Maratrean|Maratrean]] 00:12, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
