Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

[robvalue]

We really don't need to "do" anything. We're surrounded by people who have imaginary friends. What exactly should we do? What can we do?

We try and get along with them as best we can, and to step in if we seem harm being caused.

Remember, not even members of the same sect of the same religion can even agree what the hell it is they're even talking about. So how they expect to put a coherent case to atheists, I have no idea.

And believing "in God" is quite different from believing a bunch of really specific things about that God, and worshipping it. The reason many of us aren't in religion has nothing to do with the existence of "God".

It has crossed my mind that some theists might be jealous. I'm not trying to be a dick about, but seriously, I wonder. It's such an easy stance to defend (not that you are required to defend it): I don't believe stuff until I have evidence. The theist, on the other hand, has to jump through hoops and twist themselves in knots trying to define and validate their belief; then to try and correlate it with reality.
