But how do we know if this is the reason? How do we test to see if this hypothesis is true, rather than other, non-rational hypotheses?
But you do agree that insufficient evidence does rationalise atheism, and indeed any lack of belief, correct?
You're strife is with atheists who lack belief for other reasons. If so, your original post is monstrously misleading; makes one think you're putting forward that atheism in itself is irrational.
It could, if insufficient evidence were demonstrable using rigorous methodology.
As it is, every atheist pulls a methodology out of their ass, and- what's this? Insufficient evidence again? What a coincidence, amirite?
It's like the conclusion comes before the methodology for these atheists. And as far as I am concerned, that's fraud. That the majority of atheists are committing this fraud is, as far as I'm concerned, a serious intellectual problem in the atheist community.
