So from my point of view, and this is where I may differ from some of my colleagues, I don°Ot think the word °8atheism°± ultimately is necessary, or even useful, and I think it°Os actually, in the en harmful, because the rejection of absurdity is much bigger than atheism (R) it is science. Reason is much bigger than atheism. And having standards of evidence and argument is much bigger than atheism, and that°Os all we need to repudiate most of what most people do most of the time in the name of religion. Really, on my account, religious faith is really the permission people give one another to believe things strongly without evidence. And we recognize that to be pathological in every other area of our lives, we just simply have been lulled into thinking that the game must change when you talk about meaning and values and morality and what happens after death, and I think we're paying the price for that in rather astonishing ways.

It seems to be intended to mean "in my opinion" or "from my point of view". It is not a usage of the phrase that I am very familiar with.
