Nor do we atheists, usually. But we do make judgments about other people's claims regarding god. All you'd have to do, if you wanted to make me personally believe- I can't speak for anyone else, obviously- is to provide some real evidence. Why is it that theists never can?
If someone claims to you that they've been abducted by aliens and you answer "I don't believe you," are you making a claim about the existence of aliens? Or just one about the veracity of someone else's claim?
Quote:Faith? To claim "...there is no god..." is blind faith. Which is completely different than "Your type of god does not exist".
Maybe you should, I dunno, spend some time actually talking to atheists before you start making blanket statements about them, hmm? If you did, you'd find that each of us has our own personal stance on the existence of gods, rather than the one size fits all system you seem to believe it is. Some of us are gnostic atheists who believe in no god, that's true, but most of us are just waiting for better evidence before they believe in something. Why would you start believing in magical things without evidence for them, after all?
