Athiesm is a Faith?

[Aractus]

Again?

Why is it always so important to christards that atheism be considered a Faith™ ??
Get over it. Your god is pathetic, weak and unworthy of worship, that doesn't give an atheist some kind of "anti-faith."



The concept is so tired and annoying. See Frankie J's comment.

Tell you what - when you stop calling Christianity a "religion" we'll stop calling atheism a "faith". Until then, we remain at an impasse.

Atheism is not a faith. Neither is it a belief, an ideology or a religion. It is simply a lack of belief in the existence of a god or indeed gods.

That much is correct.

But

A lot of atheists, especially the kind that join atheist forums™ have a belief that God doesn't exist. That's different to not having a belief. Faith is another word for "belief", esp. where said belief cannot be proven.

I do not have a belief that there is no god. I simply do not have a belief that there is a god. The former requires faith the latter does not.

There, now you've got it!
