Is there a better term for when a conclusion is assumed, maybe a loaded question. Or your stupid poll with the "doctrine of belief that there is no god " what the fuck is wrong with you? It's like you tried your hardest to not understand an atheists position.

Atheists... why do you believe that God don't exist?
Atheists... why don't you believe that God exists?
Both questions beg the question in the first place.
An intellectual honest person would have asked it like this; Atheists, why do you believe there is no god? because it doesn't assume that there's a god to reject. You start with the default presumption that there is no assumption of a god.

2. The point of the question is to discover an actual belief that God doesn't exist. This is what some atheists in another thread were insisting was the majority position, was my opinion. I didn't want to know what atheists 'didn't' believe.
Your position is that you assume god exists and try to make us answer a loaded question with a fallacious poll.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
