@MsAnnThropy:
Well obviously i agree馃槤
I can see the position that atheism is ultimately a faith claim. Personally i think it's more a rejection of a faith claim based on unconvincing evidence but i can see how people characterize it that way.
Don't get how they consider it a religion though

@MsAnnThropy:
1. there's no proof that gods exist (otherwise we'd all be deists)
2. there's no proof that gods don't exist (they might be lurking around a mountain-top somewhere)
3. in any event, there's no compelling necessity to postulate the existence of gods, and the postulation explains nothing... it merely tries to explain everything away.
4. therefore, I have no gods
Can you find any extraordinary claims in there?
