Fundamental Difference in Theistic depates

One thing I've noticed is that any time an atheist/secularist/scientist has a debate with a theist, the theist tends to look victorious. Why is that? Are we as observers willing to believe "god did it" as some kind of answer? Also the people on the science side of things tend to approach the issue from within their sphere of knowledge, things that they truly understand and feel comfortable backing up, (Dawkins within biology, Dennett from philosophy etc)whereas theists tend to say what ever they want to prove/disprove a point. It makes it hard for someone to defend their position if simultaneously defending biology, nuclear physics, cosmology, geology, and pseudo-science babble.

Mixed faith households

I came out to my wife a month or so ago as an atheist. She took it well at the time, she was shocked but things settled down in a couple days. Well this last week she had another moment of crisis. I had to explain why/how I came to disbelieve, and what that meant for me and us. I talked about the logical arguments for not believing in the supernatural. I'm sure this will come up again but thats fine, communication has always been a strong suite.
