What's the difference?
Aside from the obvious alleged absence of gods, what is the difference between atheism and theistic religions?

@WhatLifeIsFor True, but very nearly everything is debatable. To me evidence, science, theology or anything else for consideration are only meant as steps in the long journey. When you start looking for absolute truth in any of these things you become delusional. Or at least wrong.

@AkioTsukino Well, I agree, for long journey small steps are need to be taken, that is what science is doing. As for as theology is concern, we can see there exist different religions and different concept of God or gods and every follower claims that his/her religion is the true one. This thing create a lot of questions in the mind of new generation. and definitely every one has his/her own journey in world of theology.

No they don't, because we don't believe that anyone's religion or even religion itself is right, and we don't argue with or question God, that He's right. We already know He is no liar, he cannot err, so why wouldn't we believe Him? Some just won't accept the evidence, so no wonder they are confused, but believers have never said we know the exact right way and there's nobody right but us. We keep getting misquoted on that. We have always promoted and proclaimed that what Jesus said and God said in His Word, is right. We have always said that God is right and we should listen to Him.
Secondly, we have never stated that our "religion" is right because we don't [i]believe[/i] in religion and nobody will understand that. It is not religion or any religion of this world, that gets one to heaven. God himself said so. Is He a liar? Do we know better than God and we're smarter than God? God said the religions of this world have absolutely nothing to do with salvation. It is man's thinking that is flawed, wanting to follow everyone but God. They may as well call him a liar.
