Understood, but it is a belief nonetheless in the sense that inherent in the statement atheism is you believe in your lack of belief concerning God(s). A few questions, besides the obvious( God showing up saying he is real act.) what evidence would sway you? For example, if the universe was designed what would that look like? Secondly, where does cognitive dissonance play a role in the phenomena that is atheism. If you are an atheist because you see no reasons to think otherwise what happens when you loose a debate against someone who has stronger reasoning for an argument than you? Do you instantly switch sides? Or stubbornly continue in your belief?Assuming you're not trolling, you're barking up the wrong tree here. As others have said, Atheism is the lack of a belief, not a belief!
Chad, it sounds like your more open to deism, than theism. Am I correct in this assessment?
Try this. Consider the Fsm (flying spaghetti monster). If you want to know people's reasons for Atheism they are probably the same as your disbelief in the Fsm. If I invent a negative term for that, apastaism , then let me ask you, why do you believe in apastaism? What evidence would it take to sway you away from your apastaish beliefs? What happens when you lose a debate with a pastafarian, do you instantly switch sides or stick to your apastist belief?
