It's especially apparent when people try and claim that belief is a choice. Such people don't know the difference between a belief and a professed belief.

It's often hard for me to tell whether someone really believes something, or just wants it to be true.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
