Atheism is the non acceptance of a specific truth claim with regard to the existence of metaphysical or supernatural beings
Even were the truth claim in question demonstrably true it would not involve circular reasoning and so that charge is false
Also to say it is impossible to be an atheist is to say that one has zero free will in rejecting the aforementioned truth claim
I most certainly reject that truth claim as does nearly every one who is a member of this forum so this charge is also false
The discipline I hold in the highest regard is mathematics. I consider it to be so perfect that it could not possibly have been invented by human beings. So I think it was discovered. The laws
of physics are written in mathematical form and it can be used to describe the behaviour of any phenomena or physical object in the entire universe with total accuracy. No other language is
as pure and beautiful and universal as mathematics but even for something as profound as this I will not allow myself to worship. So instead acknowledge its remarkable usefulness as a tool
for understanding. To worship it would be unnecessary and a surrender of my free will. So if I can avoid worshipping that which I find so pure and beautiful I can avoid worshipping anything
