Wrong yet again. I'm not saying X isn't true, I'm saying I don't believe in X. I haven't claimed anything. YOU have! The burden is on you, not me.
No belief, no faith. I've rejected theist claims due to lack of evidence.
Sigh. Okay, let's rephrase this.
You either believe in X = X exists
Don't know if X is real = X may or may not exist
Don't believe in X = X doesn't exist
It is not a lack of belief. It is founded on your belief that X does not exist, is not real, etc.
