And that's why I'm an atheist.
I meant "we" as in all of us humans. You're being dishonest if you tell me that you automatically disregard everything as a possibility unless there is concrete proof of it - that you don't make guesses, assumptions, theories, have certain things you believe to be true... It's part of our every day life. Just today when I was at the store I didn't buy eggs because I knew my husband went to the store yesterday when I was out of town, and I assumed he probably bought eggs even though I didn't check to make sure.

Not the vast majority of non-religious historians.
Completely untrue. Didnt you read my link?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
