Quote:This is great. Kit actually found a meme about atheism that contradicts itself in just 12 words.Nope there is not assertion in not accepting a assertion because it has yet to demonstrate itself .
Reject = dismiss as inadequate
Considering the evidence of anything and dismissing it as inadequate for a conclusion is itself an assertion.

There is no assertion required by not being convinced by the evidence provided for a claim.
If I am a juror in a case where I feel the prosecution has not met their burden of proof to vote guilty, I am not making an assertion that I feel the accused is innocent.
Basically atheism says - we don't know?
