Hi - new here too and looking for some fellow heathens to hang out with.
While the consensus of posts above is of course absolutely right in that atheism is a lack of belief in something for which there is no evidence, I think one could argue that it is a 'position'. Given that the universe and the nature of reality is probably far stranger than our African plains evolved senses and intellect can comprehend one could speculate that the jury is out until we know a bit more about how this thing we all inhabit actually works. Of course, that does not mean one should accept unsupportable claims without any evidence, but it just might mean having an open mind until the jury comes back into the room - and I speak as a 98% atheist of a coup[le of decades standing.
Hi again - and waiting to be shot down in flames.
