Is atheism a belief?

[Acrobat]

Yea, and Christianity isn’t a religion, it’s a relationship. Just because some people don’t like the term God, because of the baggage often associated with it, doesn’t mean the thing they refer to by another name isn’t God.

God, higher power, universal life force, universal spirit, supreme being, the One, etc. are indistinguishable,  even if they’re not the judeo-Christian God.

It’s like those people in the survey who don’t like the word theist, so they call themselves atheist, who believe in God. By your logic, this would mean atheism doesn’t mean a lack of belief in god.

I think your issue is with the definition of god.

By the way I also count the hindus and Ra believers as theists the judeo Christian god is only one of several thousand. To be an atheist you have to not believe in any of them.

According to the previous poster you can be an atheist and believe in Ra, just don’t call Ra a god and that’s all you need.

Just like you can be an atheist and believe in a higher power, or a universal life source, merely by not calling these things god/s.
