I hate the atheist movement... even though i don't believe in god(s)

I don't want to be known for what I don't believe, and I don't want to make silly claims like babies are atheists and religion has to go. Atheism is pretty much a useless term too. You can believe in nature or you can believe in magic. You can believe in afterlife or you can believe in cessation. Anything goes in atheism as long as you don't believe in god(s). And atheism doesn't represent science either. That's my say.

I agree with you. If you believe there is god or you believe there is no god, you are on the same boat. You are believing something that you don't know.

I believe this, you believe that, doesn't make any difference. Everybody can believe whatever you want. It need not to have anything to do with reality as such.

A similar type of post.

@ABCDEF7 I don't think that both sides are equally reasonable or that the question of which is true is perpetually unsolvable. I just think it's unproductive to begin an investigation with god (yes) or god (no).

@SW-User Neither I think both sides are equally reasonable, but they have their own reasons to believe something or other, nor I meant that it is pointless to investigate. Actually it is what is required.

You believe what you don't know. What you know is what you know. You only need to believe something that you don't know. Actually, when you admit that you don't know, you have that curiosity in you to know. Only when you starts to seek, there is possibility of knowing. You kill that possibility by believing something.
