Done.

"When /a/ sends its fags, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you.
They’re sending fags that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us.
They’re bringing cancer. They’re bringing bait. They’re shitposters.
And some, I assume, are good fags."

Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity.

LACK of belief

That's why it can't be a belief as itself


No. Agnosticism is a lack of belief.
Etymology and most dictionaries are on his side. a - theos means without god, no god. Atheism is lack of belief. There can be a smaller branch of atheism that explicitly believes that there isn't a god. This is usually called positive atheism or gnostic atheism.
Here's a good picture:
Yes, there are some atheists that believe there isn't a god but I do think (with nothing to back me up) that the majority is agnostic (orange area, no belief whatsover). And is the most reasonable too, in my opinion

Do you believe in a deity of some sort? No? Then you're an atheist.
Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove.

Start making threads bashing religion and see were that takes you.
Maybe you'll get banned, but it will be worth it.

I can see you

If you don't believe what is written in the book is true, the entire argument for religion falls apart. The image is a metaphor for a bible. Just because something says its true doesn't mean it is, ESPECIALLY if the information in the bible has been debunked numerous times by numerous scholars and historians. Well except christian historians because you know, they aren't going to try and debunk their own religion. Its the only thing keeping them from going mad from the inevitability of death and the end of the universe.

Atheists simply choose to accept whats in front of them rather than speculate at the expense of real people. Because you know, telling REAL people they are going to hell and are unacceptable because you believe in something that is UNCERTAIN makes total sense?

Don't know about you but I'm not going to believe in something that has no basis at the expense of real people who are in front of me right now.

This argument only works if the opposite party, Theists, would acknowledge logic.

Sacrifice your first born to the god lord, The Amazing Atheist. Then, be a dick to all your non-atheist friends. Now, you're an atheist!

You don't join atheism. It's not a religion.

Atheism literally means lack of theism, which means denial of the existence of any god or gods.

Okay, so there were some serious posts here but it has mostly rambled off into spam. I am not certain if your got the answer your were hoping for but it is my wish to not turn this topic into another religious bloodbath about whether or not, religions are justified or if their believers are crazy. While there is something to be said about discussing world religions or lack therefore of, this is hardly a productive way to go about it.
