What is your strongest reason for believing atheism is true?

RE: What is your strongest reason for believing atheism is true?
To the OP.

As others have pointed out, your question, as stated, is flawed.

Atheism is nothing more than a response to a claim, it is not a claim itself that needs to be proven true.

In no sense is the disbelief in gods a religion.

You are either operating with a poor definition of the word 'religion' or a poor definition of the word 'atheism'.

Which is it?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Nineteen - is theism a religion?

I'll give you a hint - no, it is not. There are theistic religions just as there are atheistic religions. Someone calling themselves a 'theist' is not specifying a religion just as someone calling themselves an atheist. Theism and atheism are descriptive of the claim of god, not any doctrine surrounding them.

You know that misrepresenting us is the same as lying. You get so mad when people supposedly misrepresent you, so if you really want to get along with the other folks here, you'll try a bit of courteous and learn what atheists actually believe (or disbelieve, in this case).

Hey Nineteen
No we got nothing in common

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Atheism is a belief in the same way skipping lunch is a food.

Actually, there's only one rule to being an atheist: don't believe in god. Everything else is up in the air.
