[split]Atheism is based of ignorance.

If you want to say we don't or can't know for certain, this side of death anyway, then I'm going to agree with you. What I don't agree with is why you opted to believe what you believe. Some aspects of faith can be challenging and you may find yourself disagreeing or chafing against certain dogmas and doctrine and what have you. The Enlightenment and the scientific era did happen you can't go back to the middle ages. But I still don't see you would have to abandon all faith in God when there many good reasons to believe he exists, now more than ever possibly. So yes I'm being serious.

The reason I don't believe in god has nothing to do with chafing against doctrine, or anything like that. It's that god isn't the default position; belief in any[ claim is not the default position. I need to be convinced, and thus far, all the arguments I've heard, the proofs for miracles and such... don't do so. That's all. Perhaps in future I'll hear something that does convince me, but it hasn't happened yet.
