It is this sort of drivel that invites all the theist charges that atheism too is a religion. But you, Cheerful Charlie, are about as religious in your conviction as many fundamentalists. Like them you place a high value on the maintenance of certainty. I suspect you just need seasoning.
[1] Is atheism a religion? Very well, then, it's the only true religion. With strong religion, certainty as regards the omni-everything gods of Christianity,Islam et al is pretty easy.
[2] Actually, I am not religious, you like word games it seems. If I am sure about anything based on logic, I am religious? No, I am simply sure based on evidence about my lack of religion. [3] Now, how much evidence do you want that the God of Christianity and Islam are logically impossible? See my answer to Vinny above, omnigenesis.
[1] No, atheism isn't a religion, but neither does atheism "prove anything". It certainly doesn't provide you with any special source of certainty
[2] Not really but I do like to see language used with precision.
[3] I'm not aware of any evidence that the God of Christianity doesn't exist. How could one hope for any 'evidence' concerning something so poorly defined?
Of course you can make an argument given certain interpretations of what the qualities of that Christian 'god' are alleged to be. But who really can say authoritatively what those qualities really are? If you really think it's nonsense, why waste your breath?
