Atheism and Theism: Unbridgeable?

I read an interesting book review in the "Book World" section of the 9/28/08 Washington Post with the title, "What's Your Blick? God or Science?" The reviewer, Jacques Berlinerblau, self-described Jewish atheist, gives Roman Catholic philosopher Michael Novak's recently released book, No One Sees God: The Dark Night of Atheists and Believers, a positive review.

I haven't read Novak's book, but I thought the tone of the review was respectful and interesting. In fact, it was a pleasant surprise to find a review in the atheism vs. theism debate by an atheist that wasn't dismissive or disrespectful. Blick (originally spelled "blik") by the way, is a word coined by R. M. Hare, a British philosopher, which "refers to a mental filter through which people sift information, admitting some things as facts and rejecting others." According t0 the reviewer, the book "suggests that the central dilemma confronting us today is not whether god exits but how those who disagree about God's existence can live together."
