I take it as a compliment when I am told I have no faith. At least, with the definition of faith used by theists. Faith is not a virtue.

Faith is not a reliable path to truth, it is indistinguishable from gullibility, as far as I can tell.

When 1.1 billion Hindus, 1.5 billion Muslims, 2.1 billion Christians all use faith to get them to their beliefs, yet according to each of them, the others are wrong about their beliefs, and neither can demonstrate their beliefs are true, that shows the unreliability of faith.

If someone were able to demonstrate that I hold a belief based on faith, you know what I'd do? Stop believing it.

It takes ZERO faith to 'hide' from a being that has not been demonstrated to exist. How much faith does it take you to hide from the Muslim god?

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.

Easy. It's the wrong god. Now if they had prayed to FSM the one and only lord and savior they would've gotten somewhere.

That isn't true, which is good for him, because the percentage of the world's population that is Christian is 29.81%; also a minority. But it's argument ad populum anyway, which means it really doesn't have anything to do with whether we're right or not.

^^Exactly this.  Truth is not a democratic process - we don’t get to vote on it.

It has been estimated that, at any given moment, approximately one billion people believe, deeply and sincerely, in Father Christmas and all his attendant impedimenta. This belief, no matter how firmly held, is immaterial to the question of Father Christmas’ existence.
