From somewhere else in response to something else.

Here's your confusion <> 05/24 23:34:43
First, Atheism is not a religion.
You could consider it a faith however.

1. As a "strong" atheist I believe there is/are no god(s))
2. I have no way to prove without doubt that there are no god(s).
3. Faith is a belief in something not reasonable. It is belief without proof.
4. Therefore it is an article of faith with me that there is/are no god(s).

Doesn't make Atheism in any way a religion however.

Other atheists simply do not believe, therefore have no faith at all.

This is why agnostics, those that "don't know" if there is god, gods or not, feel theirs is the only logical position.

I agree, my strong atheist position is not as logical as the agnostic position, but I find it far more descriptive of the reality within which I find myself.
