How can Atheism not be a belief? On the basis their is no definitive proof for or against the existance of a god/gods, then Atheists rely on the belief that they don't exist. So yes I would have said that Atheism is indeed a belief system (how ever I agree that it isn't a faith).

Difficult topic .. not believing in something in my mind isn't a belief, but I guess by definition it is, as you believe it isn't.

You might want to go and read about Atheism a bit. Just because you don't believe in a god doesn't instantly make you an Atheist.

From Wikipedia:
Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist.

Well, without trying and making absurd assumption you are the one showing your lack if intelligence. I think most atheists are only big boys in their own comfort zones.
Come on then join the forum. They are all friendly over there. Don't be pathetic all your life
. I appreciate you haven't had a correct upbringing but hey, that's not your fault. Come along and debate with people who take you seriously, surely it's better than trying to debate with a troll like me who has already .... Sigh... never mind.

Well, I’ve just had 2 minutes to kill, so popped over to that friendly site you recommended for us thicko’s that don’t get religion. The very first discussion I stumbled across was about how your great leader Mohammed getting engaged to a girl of 6, and eventually consummating the marriage at the grand old age of 9. I then scroll down to see brainwashed loon’s actually defending it, turning a blind eye or making excuses (like all religions do when the **** hits the fan) about how its being interpreted etc… like I said before, your brainwashed with utter cr@p like this from the minute your born, and your telling me I’m the one who needs to be educated? ![Lol1](images/smilies/lol1.gif)
![Lol1](images/smilies/lol1.gif)
You really going to argue about a man that lived 1400 years ago when you have no idea of the society back then nor even the meaning of marriage back then, seriously who needs educating again?
As I said, join the forum and debate. If you got half a ******** do it. Don't just make sarky remarks whilst in your own comfort zone. That just makes you another weak willed athiest hoping on his peers to dig him out of his hole. You obviously want to pick a bone with religion but in reality you don't even know what you are talking about hence why you need to educate yourself.
Now come along and be a man. At least give yourself enough self respect to do so. Do you always want to remain the observing loser who never engaged? Yet you seem fit to judge that because person x believes in god they are brainwashed from birth. How can one make such a statement when they refuse to educate themselves.
Now log on and debate rather than sitting here and trolling (insecure coward style)

Great to have it, fine to be proud of it, but please don't shove it down my throat!

FWIW it's a totally illogical thread: If religious folks really are less intelligent, then they're hardly going to comprehend the sophisticated anti-theist arguments being made and if the atheists dumb it down to a level where they're basically just insulting people, then they're doing the very thing that they criticise religious folks for!
The fact is that no one religious is ever going to read a thread like this and think: "Crap, I've been a fool all along"
Similarly, no atheist is ever going to read anything on here and think "My life is empty without a god"
Save your breath and your time!

well if you went on that site Sahid recommended you'd understand. Fanatical isn't the word - ******* nuts would better suit.

Advances in medicine save more lives than a healing hand. Forced marriage, chopping off your foreskin, female genital mutilation or denying females equal rights are still normal practice for many religions.
Is that normal?
