Strong Atheism starts from faith

[FaithvsFact]

After seeing the title of this thread I did some thinking about my particular opinion and position on the matter. I personally do not think that it takes faith to assert that there is no god because I have come to my position by reviewing the evidence or lack thereof for and against the matter, and after weighing it carefully have come to the conclusion that god does not exist.

My position is not based on faith but rather it is based on the facts that I have found to the contrary. Weighing the evidence for the existence of god with faith on one end of the scale and all other research of the issue on the other; faith, loses in a convincing manner. Faith does not rely on evidence, it relies on your acceptance of an assertion based on subjective feelings, emotions, or convictions of others. My definition of faith is that of many free thinkers and that is that faith is the abandonment of logic and reason and the subjugation of ones mind and true self to an ideology.

Chat Pilot - you honestly seem to be the most consistent in sticking to the topic of my OP and you also are a strong atheist so thanks for your patience as I compile the rest of the answers by all the other strong atheist posters in here. Far out work has been crazy and things after work just have not stopped happening these last few weeks. I do want to get to the next bit - please continue to be a bit patient with this!

I'll go further and say that there are no strong or gnostic atheists here as unlike say, gnostic theists, we tend to rely on the scientific principle and base things on evidence and probability.

Hi. Would you call yourself a strong atheist? Because your answer is interesting to me. If you are a Strong Atheist could you please answer the two questions I've posed in my OP. Thanks.
