Athiesm is a Faith?

[Mark 13:13]

Ps the god of the gaps is not what Theists believe in; its an attempt by science to give the impression that if they keep exploring the gaps they can squeeze God out of existence; which makes no sense if God does exist and exists outside of the scope of human observation and only reveals what God chooses to reveal. I understand that this will get the usual flurry of well meaning confetti by some in this forum but I just wanted it to be clear this god of the gaps is not what we Monotheists believe in.

Close. "God of the gaps" is kinda a short hand way to describe a common argument method used by theists. They say "We don't understand _______, therefore God did it." It's highly flawed on many levels; Neil Degrasse Tyson specifically said that if you believe in that, you're useless in a lab, and he explains the God of the gaps fairly well here.

I like Neil Degrasse Tyson and he comes across as a very spiritual athiest with a kind and generous nature. He does not have any problems with Theists who love science and try to explore God through his creation. Many great scientists have done this including the guy who 1st promoted the big bang theory Belgian Catholic priest Georges Lemaître.
