A-theism is the ABSENCE of belief. It makes no further claims or assertions. It's denial of nothing. The claims are *dismissed*, as they carry as much weight as the one that there is a 1957 Chevy orbiting Pluto.
One does not have to take a "position" concerning every preposterous bit of bullshit that gullible humans spit out. One does not have to take a "position" on whether there is a teapot orbiting the sun.
There is more evidence that the Salem Witches actually WERE witches, than there is for the resurrection. I don't have to do anything, when you can't even define what the word "god" means, in coherent terms.
Nice try, junior.
Try harder.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
