Is atheism a belief?

[EgoDeath]

For someone who believes in god, they hold a belief in a deity. For me, that belief isn't there. It's honestly very simple.

Really?  You have no stance on whether say the Christian creator God exists?  You just happen to lack a positive belief that it does.

I never said I have no stance on it. I said, for me, the belief in a creator just isn't there.

I think that's a philosophical cop-out.  I don't believe that such a God exists, and I can explain why.  In fact, given all the definitions of God I've been presented with, I'd say I'm either gnostic atheist-- I'm quite sure those gods cannot exist-- or as ignostic, in cases where I think the definition is too incoherent to even allow the formation of a belief around it.

So you are an agnostic atheist, or possibly a gnostic atheist. Interesting.
