What is your strongest reason for believing atheism is true?

RE: What is your strongest reason for believing atheism is true?
Hold on a sec here, I want to make sure I got the jist of this conversation.....


Someone asks why atheist is 'true'.
We correct him on the phrasing of that question.
19 claims atheism is a religion too.
When asked why, she goes to something about mustachioed gays in Sweden marrying their daughters and how weird people look.
Then 19 won't talk anymore because we brought up Islam and we can't stay on topic.

Is that about right?
Dunno

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Not dancing around anything. You're accusing me of changing my ethics to suit the situation because I'm an atheist. I corrected you, by 1) pointing out that atheism has nothing to do with morals or ethics. You can be an atheist scumbag or a good atheist. Also, 2) atheists are hardly alone in having ethics that change by the situation. Every religion and culture on earth changes their ethics as social demands and specific situations come up. The only difference between you and I there is that I'm willing to admit it. Are you?

Well, why aren't you doing your homework? Afraid you might learn something?

Scientific evidence and as Neil Tyson said "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it."

Atheism isn't a choice, that's a bad way of looking at it. There is no valid alternative.

It's a fact that should be a normal everyday event without much conspiracy.

but we are only human.

As like my little cousin , when I ask her why she is not doing her homework , the answer she gives me "you are also not doing your homework" , this is not the answer . While we are talkin about atheism and its processing way, suddenly the issue comes to Islam . We can talk about islam and its sub topics under another title .

Translation: I'm aware of my own hypocrisy, but we're not talking about that here, so how dare you call me on it?

So is what Nineteen is saying is that she holds her religion "outside" reality?

Isn't that what every religion does?
