    That doesn’t make any sense. Believing the absence of something is still a belief.

    The more famous, and more apt comparison would be, “if you choose not to decide, youve still made a choice.”

      You are conflating faith with acceptance. I don’t believe in science I accept science as fact and do not accept superstition as anything more than superstition. I don’t have a belief that there is no god I simply have no evidence to support their existence. If there were evidence to support the existence of a supreme being then there would no longer be any need for faith.

        Which takes me back to my first point. Believing there is no god is not the same as “no religion.” The survey has clearly delineated the two seeing as the atheist group is 3% and other surveys have shown “no religion/religious affilitation” to be as high as 30%

            Look at the data in this thread. How can you say im wrong? 3% vs 30% is not a rounding error. These surveys clearly delineate between “no religion” and “atheist”

            Shit, even just google it
