Firstly, I'm not sure you're actually responding to anything in my post. I asked you if belief worked that way for you, the way you claim that it does. Do you believe or not believe in something based upon whether you like or dislike it? Is your answer of yes in reference to that question or have we simply decided to talk about something else?
So agnosticism is a default, fine, I've no reason to argue. What is religious fate, and how does it's addition make a person sure...and what does that have to do with whether or not they like or dislike whatever proposition is to be believed? What is atheistic fate....and how is whatever that is relevant to a persons likes or dislikes....and the manner in which you've proposed people (particularly atheists) come to whatever it is they do or don't believe?
Here, let me give you two more examples. I really like Thor, I don't believe that Thor exists. I really dislike syphillis...and yet I'm certain that it exists. I'm an atheist, and my belief status about gods -and- more mundane things doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you claimed it did.
We see that claim all the time, though, despite it's plain and obvious inanity. It's a favorite thing for dipshits to fob off on gullible people. Who told you that's how belief works? Could you not work out for yourself....based upon nothing other than your own belief sets...that whomever told you that had bullshitted you?
