Atheism requires just as much faith as any religion. Atheists believe there is no god.. thing is, it's just as impossible to prove the existence of god as it is to prove there is none. The supernatural is/would be outside our reality/universe, and therefore cannot be tested, proven, or disproven. So there's no way to know one way or the other. Atheism requires faith, because atheists have no actual evidence to prove a lack of a god, only reason and theory. Faith is what people use to justify belief in something for which there is no real proof. Atheism is a faith-based religion.

Why do I need to have faith? If I'm wrong, I'll look up at god and say "Forgive Me". And he will.
If I'm right, then I just die at the end.

Belief is for people terrified of being wrong. I don't need to have faith there is no god. I just assume there isn't, and live my life. I don't have nearly enough ego to care whether I'm right or wrong about it. it's like caring about whether or not Flat Earth is real.

I hope you can understand this, and not just reply with "Nuh uh, you believe!"

Based on your description of your views, I would not call you an atheist, I'd call you agnostic.

Nice mental gymnastics. Spend much time on tumblr learning that.

Tumbler? Seriously? .....

Can you...

A: Prove the existence of god

Or

B: Prove that god doesn't exist

?

I require actual evidence for either, and repeatable tests which consistently produce the same results.

Exactly what I've been telling for almost two decades. If one is not full of shit, the only position in the face of the unprovable/undisprovable is agnosticism.

Does it take faith to disbelieve in Allah, Krishna, or Zeus? I disbelieve in as many gods as you do, plus one more.

How do you know for sure there is no Allah, Krishna, or Zeus? Can you test this? Can you prove it? Can you prove or disprove anything about the so-called "supernatural"?

plus one more.

Which one more? Are you implying that I believe in a god? If so, what did I say to give you that impression?
