Is Atheism Intellectual Cowardice?

[Oregon Alley Cat]

I tend to disagree with you. I view atheism as, simply put, the absence of belief in god, or gods, or spirits, and the supernatural in general. There is no evidence to suggest that anything supernatural exists. It seems to me that the morally superior position is to admit this and view metaphysical claims with doubt and disbelief unless and until the evidence comes in. I view it as somewhat dishonest to look at things in the universe that we dont understand (yet) and try to shoehorn in a "god did it".
