The irrational thing would be to have no reason to believe in something and believe it anyway.
Why are you finding this so hard to understand?
Let's be sure we understand.
"As far as you can tell" is your logical, reasonable, rational, reason to be an A.
That's right. If as far as I can tell there are no underpants gnomes stealing my tightie whities in the night then I would not believe in them.

Do you agree that is a rational logical reason to not be an A?
Well no because that is someone telling me what I believe and that would be stupid.
The idea of god has not met my standard for things that I will believe in so I don't believe in god and I am an atheist.
God has apparently met the level for what you will believe in so you believe in one and are a theist.
I think you are wrong.

It seems that "so far as I can tell" reasoning is an irrational reason for being an A yet it is believed anyway....
As I've said before, your position is just wrong.

As far as some people can tel; the earth is flat...
And they are wrong and go against the scientific consensus.
Fortunately the science supports my stance.
But science is not WHY I am an atheist.
I find the idea of god stupid a kids answer to hard questions.
I prefer the truth to easy lies.
