If you're using the term 'belief' synonymously with 'faith' then that's wrong. If you're using the word to just mean 'to think something is true' then that's right and there's no problem with it. |

You have to "believe" you are right even if you think Theists are wrong. Be sides concluding that God doesn't exist do to lack of evidence is factually wrong. You have to believe he doesn't exist. Therefore Atheism is a faith and something in which they all claim is dumb to have. |

So what you're basically saying is that you have so little in the way of actual arguments that the only things you can find to debate are artificial, semantic non-issues? |

Some atheist do make the positive assertion that God doesn't exist is true and this is exactly what a positive atheist asserts. The same goes for hard atheist, strong atheist, explicit atheist, positive-explicit atheist, self-powered atheist, total atheist, classic atheist, unwritten atheist, de facto atheist, anti-theism, whatever the hell these types of atheist are calling each other nowadays. |

You guys seem to be having fun but the reality is faith is still required when voting "no." Skepticism does not mean everything is wrong until proven right. To believe god doesn't exist is not to doubt gods existence but to put forward your own supposition. Doubt is just that, and it takes no sides. But atheists take sides. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Thank you |

This is my favorite part. |

Why are people arguing about this? I thought the definitions were clear by now. |

Very true Omneis Dei and well put, hence, we can flip the script on that one. |

Yes you are. |

I am not trying to argue |

u could argue semantics so yes |

Faith is something you have when you believe in a deity. |

Slip inside my head
Watch how my dreams unfold, watch my fantasy in work
Watch the beauty, watch the details. Isn't it amazing?
I love you, and I welcome you into my world
If you are lucky, there will be music playing.
deity is a recognized preternatural or supernatural immortal BEING, WHO may be thought of as holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by believers, often religiously referred to as a god |

I think Omnis Dei raises a valid point nevertheless. If absence of belief in a concept means a belief that (A) is false or invalid then one cannot claim absence of belief in (A) and in the same instance take the undecided position about (A). Being undecided is a stance of neutrality. |
