Namaste markandeya,
This is absolutely the case but for some people, there is misunderstanding between cessation of views on self and claiming that there is no self, but like you say...
...it comes from over literal reading and adversity from pervious monotheistic backgrounds, where an alternative is found... sadly a lot of Atheists are running show when it comes to Internet forums using buddha dharma as a disguise to vent there inability and bias.
So, I agree that...
If it can't be found out there then there is only one place to left to look.
I'm socially active and dedicate all my time and efforts for change both within and without.
This is good for a balanced approach.
