That's it. Fin. That's the end of the description of a typical atheist.
I don't look to "certain scientists" for my beliefs. Nor do I only believe things directly from science. Nor do I follow rules because of who created them. Nor do I follow rules because they are "approved by privileged elite."
I think for myself and reason through ideas and look for reasons to believe them. If I can find none (or no logical or rational reasons), then I tend to disbelieve them

Please tell me; do you think all atheists are likely rational and independent as you are?
By the way and I don't expect you to believe what I will say, I am a theist based solely on reason because I can't have a blind faith, even if I want to
But I usually had faith first in axioms (also in science) in order to check later, by applying them, if they are valid and useful in my life or not.
Naturally, the Will/Power which is behind my existence and I perceive in my being, happens to be totally different of all gods you might hear of; the gods that are accepted by certain communities in the world. In fact, the image of this Will/Power cannot be adopted/approved by any system/organization in the world. It may be discovered by free independent individuals only (if one felt the need to do it). And each of these individuals can take advantage of all what he would be able to discover from this image to better know his being and the real world he lives in. For instance, I couldn't meet yet one of these individuals but at least one person happened to agree with me openly on all what I discovered in this respect. Otherwise I would see myself as a real weird being
Anyway, it is always not a prerequisite for a human being to know how and why he exists in order for him to live a normal life and be completely satisfied with the way his being is made.
