A more interesting question is whether Schopenhauer would be considered an “atheist†by the standards of these Darwiniana/scientistic atheists.
Good question. Of course, Schopenhauer, who doesn’t trumpet his atheism, resembles the Buddhists, who also did not trumpet their atheism. The problem with Dawkins-style atheism, of course, is that it is falsely matched with Darwinism/scientism to make the definition highly restricted.
