The materialistic atheism based on strictly dualistic scientific concepts has less support each day since science itself observes the more subtle and "fluid" aspects of reality. However, the spiritualistic atheism (as exposed in Samkhya, for example) is a new stepping stone for those still stuck in such archaic and primitive concepts of reality.
The next step would be the discussion of the image of God as a personality. While paradoxalists also see persoanlity as a characteristic of the Supreme, strict monists see personal reality (and even plural reality) as limiting, however it strikes me as counter-intuitive that we utilize plurality and personification for the realization of the Supreme if It doesn't present those characteristics in its original nature.
