Is atheism a belief?

[downbeatplumb]

I have a feeling that the statement above is pretty much always true, lol.

You see, mentally I can't cope with the idea of atheism. It does not make sense to me.

But people are people.

I don't understand the idea of theism. 


In fact I have still never seen a half decent explanation of what a "god" is supposed to be despite being here man and boy.
