Poll: Can atheism ever be based on faith?
This poll is closed.
Possibly because atheism could be based not only on evidence but also on preference or intuition, this would be faith in atheism.

Never, atheism always contradicts faith. There is no faith without belief in the supernatural.

so the evidence that you have come across is as far as it goes is it?
You think our (humans) brains are at the evolutional peek do you.
What if there's some chance there's something beyond our brains capacity. How do you know what happens to us or doesn't happens to us after we die regardless of any god?

BTW Richard Dawkins is an agnostic atheist as many of us are only a small percent of atheists claim to be gnostic.

Yeah I'm De Facto atheist, like Dawkins I describe myself as a 6 on his 'Spectrum of Probabilites' - I believe its called - (from TGD). But I'm also leaning towards seven - like Dawkins (because I agree with him because I think he is almost certainly correct about the whole De Facto thing and very probably correct about the 'general', estimated extent one should be De Facto IMO ). Also on a lecture I believe Dawkin's said maybe he would round up his view to a '6.9'...so like Dawkins I consider myself around 6.9 on the scale...I think its a good round up. But really - ( btw I'm pretty sure this is very much like Dawkins) I think like Dawkins - in reality I am actually even closer to seven than 6.9.
Hope that makes sense. I tried to write the above as well as I could, it came about a bit weird though for some reason, so I hope its understood. Well atleast re-reading it still seems understandable myself - but then noone else is in my head are theyWink
