[Serious] Atheist Dogma

[The Architect Of Fate]

OK, if it were true that atheism in a thinking person is a lack and nothing but a lack, then what you say would be true.

What he says is true 

So you have persuaded me that atheism in thinking adults is not merely a lack.

Then you have been persuaded to the wrong conclusion  

Atheism in thinking adults consists of beliefs. These beliefs will vary based on the contingencies of what they've heard, but they will include things like:

~ The claims made by religious people are not persuasive.

~ The holy texts are not true.

Nope it's 

The claims made by religious people have not convinced the atheist 

Holy texts have not  convinced the atheist 

These beliefs may or not be provable, depending on which religious claims we're talking about, but they are beliefs, in that they are things we hold to be true.

They are not beliefs they are rejections of claims made by theists ha their holy books are true and their arguments are convincing 

Atheism in thinking adults is comprised of beliefs.

Thus a thinking person is simply rejecting poor claims .That does not make it a belief .
