If an opinion built into that is the possibility they are wrong and God may in fact exist. If you claim not to believe in the existence of God it would be presumably because you don't believe God exists. I'm pretty confident no one claims to not believe in God yet thinks God does exist.
You are wilfully misrepresenting the position of others to further your argument.
You have changed our "we don't believe in god" to "we believe god does not exist".
This is attempting to shift the burden of proof and thinking we won't notice.
I've explained previously the difference in the positions but I see you have decided to ignore mine and everyone elses attempts to set you right.
You aren't here for a debate or discussion but to further your agenda for your own gratification.
And relax.

Better now.
One of the funny things about this entire conversation is the Drew himself won't flatly assert that God DOES exist, but he, for some reason that couldn't possibly be how convenient it would be for his argument, thinks we ought to flatly assert that God does not exist, else we're no true atheists. And he never explains why we should be held to a different standard than he is willing to apply to himself.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
