Is atheism a belief?

[Angrboda]

That's the thing these days. You get a billion different claims and definitions to what something is.  Then it goes to:

My theism is better than your theism
My atheism is better than your atheism
My theism is better than your atheism
My atheism is better than your theism

So which theism or atheism is right?  And the "logical" answer that ALL normal people will give is "my version."   Once you get past that, then it turns into how the universe came into existence.  Was it the creation from the divine or did it pop into existence on its own. Were organisms created?  Were organisms the result of the planet having a bowel movement that mutated?

You can go round-n-round indefinitely, but before you can come to a conclusion, you'll have a thousand more explanations to contend with including hybrids.  Theism and atheism mixed together, because some people think they've come up with a better explanation.  No wonder people get confused in the mix.  It's the equivalent of perpetually banging a frying pan against your head.

As to the question regarding atheism, it's a question of usage, which is an empirical fact which can be largely settled. You just don't like the answer.

This is nothing but the same argument based on the meaning of faith. Theists are embarrassed about aspects of their behavior, so they desperately want to bring us down to their level.

Time for theists to just grab their balls, man up, and own their shit.
