I am an atheist and own a small biz in a small Midwestern town where being gay is more accepted than being atheist and calling blacks the "N" word in certain groups still happens openly.

Religion is so strong an influence that even here in the 21st century that even us atheists need to behave as if god DOES exist, even while christians don't like being grouped together because they're all running around with either their own interpretations or fixations of the religion itself, the're all running around rampant under the control of the church so "GOD" help us all!
religion is only a by-product of fear. the fear of the unown. it is far more comforting to believe that there is a gloriuos world awaiting us in the after-life, then to know that life is just a series of cemical synapsis. it's not that you have to have faith in a God, but that you have faith
Strange, I live in Brazil, not a third world country, but not a first world one. And yet, all the people who I live with (friends, family, acquiescences) accept my atheism in such a polite and respectful way. And, for me at least, is so strange to see all this people from First World countries having problem because they are atheists.
@SillyEddyPhotography No shit, the church of satan is nothing but atheists, they don't believe in satan, there religion is based on the denial of god and the worship of oneself, its the exact same thing as atheism. Go read the satanic bible before you speak to me.
@SillyEddyPhotography The church of satan doesn't believe in satan ya fucking idiot, its an ideology, they're atheist. Try reading a fucking book or at least go to wikipedia before you run your mouth about shit you know nothing about, stupid faggot.
@gnieoalo92 satan doesnt exist. its just a story. a satanist to me is just as delusional as a christian. a satanist is still a theist like you. because he still believes a "satan" exists and wants to deny god (which also doesnt exist) its all fairy tale in the end of the day. and reallity is dinosaurs existed and the earth is billions of years old.
All praise zoltran! The creator of the magnificent universe... He had a son that was born of a virgin birth. Miracles happen and stuff that cannot be done by any human being. See, i can start my own religion as well =)
@iAzurisa You are a bit wrong. Satanists aren't atheists. Atheism is the lack of belief in a Deity. Satanists believe in Satan, therefor not atheists, because Satan is a deity.
@dbh40191 the only thing is it that it is conservative. I'm not going to raise my kids as atheists, because even if that is the truth, it is still indoctrination. I want my kids to come up with their own beliefs. Even if the whole world became atheist eventually, the percentage of people with low IQs would be the same
@TheFerociousChannel Since when does satanism entail worshipping satan? Satanism is basically egoism. There a few Satanists who worship the devil but they are a different form of Satanism who dismiss the Christian concept of God and worship the Devil instead which isn't exactly "satanism" but rather devil worshipping. Satanists are atheists.
@iAzurisa If you Google the word satanism the results clearly say that it means a belief and worship of Satan. You're saying that egoism is the same as atheism? Atheists give money to charity, Bill Gates is a shining example. How much money goes in into building new churches nowadays? Millions of dollars... If you're always in contact with god, why do you need a big church to communicate with him?
@TheFerociousChannel *Facepalm* Google LaVeyan Satanism, that is the main branch of satanism. Satanist in the context worshipping of the devil is not "satanism" but rather devil worshipping. Devil worshippers are not satanists, stop mixing the two up.
@iAzurisa Well, if you are claiming that your definition of Satanism is the more "correct" one, then please correct Wikipedia where it says that Satanism is a group of beliefs that share "admiration for the character of, and even veneration of Satan or similar rebellious, promethean, and liberating figures."
@595o And where does it say that they "worship" the devil? Satanism is not devil worship, I don't know how many times I need to repeat this. Yes they admire the character of satan in the Bible does not mean that they actually believe he exists or even worship him.
@TheFerociousChannel And when did I label all atheists as satanists? I'm an atheist myself moron, you're seriously retarded. I said satanists are atheists not atheists are satanists.
@TheFerociousChannel Jesus said "If you're not with me, you're against me". And theists know Satan is against Jesus, thus we are caught in a black and white scenario with believers and nonbelievers. But, like you said, that doesn't me we worship Satan.
@vatiz93 ""If you're not with me, you're against me".
-You just HAD TO FUCKING SAY THAT HUH???
I'm kidding, nah, the reality is that if satan is portrayed as evil in this MYTHOLOGY and we're the ones who are either too skeptical or have withstood the fear mongering and did some research to understand that GOD was in fact the bad guy of the story while believed to be the hero as people are brainwashed to be his sheep, it's still only a fairy tale. We don't believe this entity exists.
@TheFerociousChannel I've actually met far more people who say atheists worship themselves, and they're always trying to give us a motive, an agenda etc. Same with science, especially evolution.
I agree with Penn on this one. I have no problem either hiding, or outright lying if convenient, about my atheism. It's not like this is the only thing I ever hid or lied about. I prefer not to, but sometimes, its' better that way.
When I was a child,I kept a bible hid in the bathroom closet.I would go in the bathroom and lock the door and read my bible.I hid because my parents,especially my dad,would make fun of me for reading the bible.As I got older,I quit hiding and would just read my bible at the kitchen table.One day,my dad kind of went off and said,"It aint normal for a person to want to read that book all the time.Why do you keep reading it?" I simply responded,"I guess I'm not normal." He never botherd me again.
@P0tatoPotato I used to say the same thing before I had kids. Wait until your children are about four or five and they tell you that so and so said you are going to hell because you don't believe in god. Its incredibly important that we pass on our knowledge to our children. After all, you didn't just fall off the toilet and dream it all up when you whacked your melon on the sink.
I find this kind of stupid. I'm Atheist, but when I have children I'm not going to force them to be Atheist. I will let them decide themselves. That way, I will be able to see if they are smart enough to realise how stupid religion is.
@P0tatoPotato First thing, he didn't force his kids to be atheists. Actually, I feel you should at least help them out a little bit. Introduce your children to science and logic. They will most likely come to the conclusion of how stupid religion is if they understand that facts need to be proven. I think that is better than just letting them get carried away. Introduce the fact that things need to be proven and they will understand that religion is bull. :)
Anyone else think he was being dishonest about loving his father on account of his body language? He was saying he loved his father and shaking his head no at the same time.
Am 16 and im an atheist .. My whole family are Christians, they know I am atheist but still try to force me to go to church, what can I say to them to accept me for who I am ?
@zGGModZ If your family wants to stay christian, and you want to stay an atheist, tell them that you don't force them to read The God Delusion, or listen to Richard Dawkins on the radio. They want to keep their religious beliefs, and you have to accept that, which you already seem to be doing, so good for you. BUT, they must be respectful of you if you are respectful of them. If they don't force their beliefs on you, you won't do the same to them. Otherwise, it's just unprovoked hostility.
@zGGModZ I'm also 16 and I'm an atheist. My family is a left-wing, partially agnostic family, who have always been supportive of my beliefs. It's just not okay that your parents can force christianity on you, especially when you seem to be doing nothing provocative, other then not going to church. You can tell them that you have your own beliefs, and because you respect theirs, they must respect yours. And if your family has any shred of logic or adaptability, they will accept that. Good luck.
@KenjiMedia i was forced to believe in god, and it was really hard and confusing in those few years when i relized i was atheist. i thought that if i was wrong, i was going to suffer forever in hell. eventually i went through it, and accepted that i was atheist, but those years, when i was losing god, i thought about death a lot, and it was really scary and confusing.
@metalspector psh goku is more like jesus. id say vegeta is more like god. if goku was god then he would have learned the final flash instead. BEST MOVE EVER
My parents are still theists, but of course the thought of losing them is painful. I don't know what I would do without them. I don't think many atheists resent their parents that much simply over religious belief. What makes me sad is how hard they clutch to the idea of an afterlife. I have a hard time listening to them talk of heaven. I lost my grandmother in 05, and a girl from her work drew a picture of her with angel wings at the gates of heaven. I have never been so sad in my entire life.
The Satanism thing is helped along by atheists that use the label Satanist to describe themselves, we shouldn't paint any broad strokes on the atheist fence or house, it's simply lack of belief it doesn't entail necessarily humanism or disillusion w/occult imagery. These atheists using the label Satanist have as much right to their labelling as you or I have got.
All you atheists, your argument against theism is based on a lack of evidence, but you seem to forget there is also a lack of evidence for the absence of god... Atheism and theism are equally based on faith, hopefully you just need a dictionary; if you are truly rational, and accept that we you just don't know, then you are AGNOSTIC, not atheist.. After all there are still many mysteries to the universe.
@EarlySeed ever heard of the presumption of atheism? I'm being reasonable in denying a claim until I have positive proof of its truth. I'm also being reasonable in not taking up a position on the claim until I have proof. I am NOT being reasonable by accepting it as true because there is no proof of its falsity. If you make a positive existence claim (such as "there is a god") YOU are the one with a case to prove, and you're committing the fallacy from ignorance to believe otherwise
@Wfftam I don't think you actually finished reading my comment... I am saying that atheist claims such as "there is no god" are just as foolish as "there is a god", there is evidence for neither of these claims, so the rational decision is to take middle ground and accept that we don't know, not to spit in eachothers faces claiming there is or is not, some atheists have the same tendencies as theists in ramming there unfounded beliefs down peoples' throats
@EarlySeed first of all, I agree with your last point, there are zealotrous morons on both sides of the fence, they don't all subscribe to the same viewpoint. My point is that just because I don't have evidence in the non-existence of something doesn't mean I'm being unreasonable in disbelieving its existence. There's no evidence against leprechauns, unicorns or Harry Potter style magic, does that make it unreasonable to deny that it exists?
@Wfftam I see your point now, you are right. I think denying the existence of anything with certainty is unreasonable, but nowhere near as unreasonable as preaching the existence of something without evidence. Nonetheless, certainty is very unscientific.
@EarlySeed oh absolutely, but that's one of my preferred points about science. It HAS to be open to review and change on the basis of new evidence in order to retain any relevance at all, so I do understand your earlier proposition as well. I think an issue is that atheists and theists use "surety" in different ways for this very reason. But I'm glad we can understand each other :)
@EarlySeed No, the rational decision to make is to believe that there is no god because evidence points toward there being none. If there were no evidence for a flying potato in space would the default position be that we don't know? No, it would be that there is none until proven so.
@xBlackEditionx There is no such thing as evidence for non-existence... On another note, you shouldn't use something tangible as an example, god is an idea, not an object... I think the idea of creator is becoming more and more real (not in the religious sense) because we ourselves are now creators (Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Modification), are you saying it's unreasonable to say "there might be a god"?
@EarlySeed Definitely not unreasonable to say that. But just because we ourselves are creators doesn't mean we were created in the same sense. If you look at the human body it correlates with the earth so closely. We breathe it's air. We drink it's water, eat it's food. The earth wasn't made for us. We were made from the earth. And I think the earth needs more credit rather than some non-existent deity. Look at how we treat it the earth, it's disgusting. We need to focus.
@xBlackEditionx I couldn't agree more, when I said creator I meant something along the lines of the creator of our universe, the fabric upon which all of this has evolved, maybe a symbol of our interconnectedness; the source. I just don't like the word atheist, I rather secular, or agnostic.. great talking to you!
@xBlackEditionx Oh the Earth will be fine. Natural disasters such as super volanoes and meteorites cause far more ecological damage to the earth than humans ever have. We set off every nuclear bomb on Earth, we'd wipe our selves out along with a bunch of other animals. But meteorite, climate change, and bunch of other things wipe out animals and in a couple million years the earth should recover and be destroyed again. Conservation efforts are human attempts to keep the Earth livable for humans.
@EarlySeed But I think, and I'm sure many would agree, that the universe we live in is evidence against God, at least in the sense that He is benevolent and created the universe especially for us. Humans have a hard enough time dealing with Earthly problems, like population growth, disease, insufficient resources to go around, and the fact that lots of animals seem to attack (and sometimes kill) us indiscriminately. Not to mention the 99.9% of the universe that's inhospitable to us.
@93Cobalt Oh yes, I definitely think religions today are quite a farce, but I don't think it's right to deny the existence of a greater consciousness... The atheist argument against theism is based on lack of evidence, so why would you claim with certainty there is no god if you have no evidence for it; you can never prove the non-existence of something... atheists who obsess over the belief there is no god are just as foolish as theists. agnosticism is much more rational.
@EarlySeed I agree with the fact that we can't prove God whether God exists or not, and I agree that it would be silly to claim absolutely that there is no God. In a sense I am agnostic. Dawkins himself said that he is 99.9% atheist. But I am atheist in the sense that I am anti-theology, in that I see the damage caused by theology and I want to do something about it. Being that I am virtually non-existent in the real world, the internet gives us a voice. Plus, we're safe from death threats.
You can't prove, for certain, whether or not unicorns exist. But I assume you would have no trouble saying "There are no unicorns". It's because, when you make that claim, you are not doing so with absolute certainty. It's about practical knowledge. You are aware that all the current evidence we have suggests that unicorns are nothing but man-made mythology, and there has been no evidence to suggest that unicorns actually exist or existed.
@leftovers0 That's why in a philosophical argument strong atheists like Penn Jillette would get destroyed. Actively believing God does not exist is just as dogmatic as believing God does exist. The only thing you can say is I do not believe IN God because I do not know. The best you can do is speculate, as Aristotle said "the mark of an educated mind is to entertain a thought without accepting it."

@EarlySeed So then if i believe that christianity and all other religions conjured up by man are total bullshit, but believe that we aren't just an accident, and probably the creation of some superior beings(alien organism). Does that make me Agnostic?
The latter, to me, is a 90% probability
We arose from unicellular organism at random, 9.999% probability
One of the thousands of religions is correct, too close to zero to be worth considering.
@publiusdg you got it! I also think agnosticism is much more tolerant towards theists and atheists. Many people tend to forget that all humanity's ideas are manmade, including science; even the idea of numbers is manmade. The difference lies in how much these ideas help us; if your religion helps you and others around you, then feel free to believe, but something that needs to be stopped is certainty, certainty in any field is very dangerous, an open-mind is key.
@passivepower so if you grew up never been told about god, and you were a very good person, who help others and did loads of charity work, you should be put in hell? Also how come god in the old testament told an army to just go a kill a hole village, but leave the virgins and take them?
I haven't spoken to my father in a number of years. When I told him I was an atheist he started crying and said, "The devil has gotten to you, son." Thankfully I wasn't as young as my brother was, when I told him. When my brother told him he was an atheist, he was about 14 or 15 and my father gathered up all his Christian friends and the parish priest. They preformed an exorcism on my brother, thinking he had "The devil in him". My brother was traumatised, and I've hated my father ever since.
I was 6 when I heard of someone like God for the first time. I think the best way to raise an atheist is not to say that God doesn't exist, but rather not to tell about God at all. If the kid asks at home if God is real you just answer: "Of course he's real, just like Santa and the Easter Bunny!"
Penn...just shut it. If you really were so gung ho about being open to ideas, you'd let your children learn about religion and let religious people explain for themselves their own beliefs. Or are you too chicken-shit to allow that?
if the world becomes overun by atheists, there's a chance that it could lead to a bad revolution of the loss of morality, it might (just might) actually be happening in china right now
@KatanaRapierCombo2 So if "god" didnt right on 2 pieces of stone, do not kill people, do you think it would be ok to kill people? Get real for a second, weather there is a god or is not a god is irrelevant to morality, you would have to be an idiot to see otherwise. You do also know that the former popes used to wage wars in the name of religion, ie to earn money. Was that very moral?
@messi996 but, theoretically, once a single species gains supremacy over the entire world, that species should potentially abandon its own morality if it had any at all, it's thanks to our religion that we haven't, even if that point is correct.
@messi996 how this might be so is through sheer arrogance, the arrogance seems to be a natural effect that an intelligent creature such as a human goes through when he/she defeats an adversary, and for something as big as almost the entire world as the adversary, it's suprising that we haven't lost our morality yet
I feel that religion and atheism should Not be pushed on kids. They should be given the information when they reach the age of reason at the earliest. But the parents beliefs should not taint a kids mind. My mom is a Mormon and she raised me without pushing religion on me but gave me the option of going to church with my brothers. And i highly appreciate it today, as I am an Atheist. Regardless though what religion they would turn out to be, they would love their parents even more for thefreedom
@EnvyNumber3 What a very good statement, it was always my belief that children were born atheists. Free will should be instilled upon all children so that they can choose what they want to believe, instead of having some generic implausible bullshit shoved down their throats.
I should be sympathetic that you don't use your mind properly..! If someone just spares few minutes of his time and thinks logically, he would probably discover that there is nothing created without someone being there to create it. It is as simple as this. I don't understand why people like to complicate things. The whole universe is like a machine that noway it can functions without its creator. Peace
@moetheone1 What created god? If you say that god created himself, or has always represented existence and is existence itself, then why can the universe not be the same?
Well, what you're saying is that our characteristics should be equivalent to to the one who created us...So, if we are created, who created us "God" should also be created or a creature! This statement itself doesn't make sense. Let's make it simple, if a carpenter to make you a door, would you sayt: if the door was created by the carpenter, then the door can have the same characteristics as the carpenter does! Then why can't the door talk or walk?
@moetheone1 Thank you for misconstruing the statement, but what I was saying is why can the universe not take gods place? I'm not saying that the universe is exactly like god if god makes it, that's ridiculous.
atheists push people away from faith ,in return they give the emptiness of heart and nothing .They think they are wise,pride ,and that they are owe everything of themselves ,that rose from nothing and later they will be nothing again :-)) ,,The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall .goodness and love does not come from nothingness. START from ,,The Divine Mercy Devotion? - EWTN ,, find it on google
i'm a 20 year old atheist and my mom is as catholic as you can get (without being crazy) and that's not stoping us from loving each other :) , why can't we be the same way to everyone
Apatheism. That's what I believe. My lifestyle is not going to change just because "god's" existence is proven or disproved. I'm not going to push people to think like I do. And I don't want anyone else to push their religion onto me.
I don't think being an atheist means you have to view the subject strongly. Frankly, we shouldn't have to. For me it has always been natural to not believe in a god. It's an inconvenience to have to deal with outside religious pressures at all. We shouldn't even be having the conversation in the first place. There never has been any remote evidence for god, so we shouldn't even have to discuss it at. The fact that I have to label myself "atheist" is even bad.
@Tuppoo94 You're stupid for not believing in The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Blah blah blah you're going to the spaghetti hell and you should be thankful for being given the miracle of live trough Him.
What disturbs me the most is that if you use the Flying Spaghetti Monster 'against' a religious person, he/she will find it stupid and immediately point out the obvious faults at it while never realizing that they endorse precisely the same thing.
@fabaum22 Wow, don't get freaky, friend! I just wanted to be humorous. And you got to admit that the religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is ridiculous, just like all other religions.
@fabaum22 This is the most approved comment? Some drivel comparing God with spaghetti? I understand you don't like those very strict ten rules God gave us... which one is holding you back the most? Thall shalt not murder? Treat others the way you want to be treated? Which sin are you a slave to? Me personally, I'm a bit egocentric, flashing my expansive vocabulary and using my emalgamation of brains and aesthetic beauty for personal edification. Atleast I'll admit I'm not percect.
@pedarikarhu "you know" is a rhetorical question which is used at the end a sentence to signify the thought that the person using it has just informed you of something.
"turning five" is a colloquial expression in the English language that bares no similarity to literally "turning" round a corner for example, however it means that ones age has turned to the next one, imagine a click-counter, when one clicks the button the wheels spin around and the new number appears.
This is what i would tell my children, "There is no god, but you know what there is? Your family who loves you, who you will have with you for the rest of your life during the good and bad times. And every single day you keep living your life you will meet new people, some who will make a mark in your life and share a new love with you. Don't ever let someone bring you down because you're a "non-believer". You have something even better, that's real, to make you happy."
I was raised by an apatheist mother and very secular father and both me and my sister are atheists. All that "is needed" is not to force feed religion to kids and instead let them choose. We chose not to believe in tribal mushroom fantasies.

How exactly is atheism the same as satanism!?
TheFerociousChannel 1 week ago 37
@TheFerociousChannel Since when does satanism entail worshipping satan? Satanism is basically egoism. There a few Satanists who worship the devil but they are a different form of Satanism who dismiss the Christian concept of God and worship the Devil instead which isn't exactly "satanism" but rather devil worshipping. Satanists are atheists.

@iAzurisa If you Google the word satanism the results clearly say that it means a belief and worship of Satan. You're saying that egoism is the same as atheism? Atheists give money to charity, Bill Gates is a shining example. How much money goes in into building new churches nowadays? Millions of dollars... If you're always in contact with god, why do you need a big church to communicate with him?

@iAzurisa Well, if you are claiming that your definition of Satanism is the more "correct" one, then please correct Wikipedia where it says that Satanism is a group of beliefs that share "admiration for the character of, and even veneration of Satan or similar rebellious, promethean, and liberating figures."

You can tell them that you have your own beliefs, and because you respect theirs, they must respect yours. And if your family has any shred of logic or adaptability, they will accept that. Good luck.

The Satanism thing is helped along by atheists that use the label Satanist to describe themselves, we shouldn't paint any broad strokes on the atheist fence or house, it's simply lack of belief it doesn't entail necessarily humanism or disillusion w/occult imagery.

All you atheists, your argument against theism is based on a lack of evidence, but you seem to forget there is also a lack of evidence for the absence of god... Atheism and theism are equally based on faith, hopefully you just need a dictionary; if you are truly rational, and accept that we you just don't know, then you are AGNOSTIC, not atheist.. After all there are still many mysteries to the universe.
EarlySeed 2 weeks ago
@EarlySeed ever heard of the presumption of atheism? I'm being reasonable in denying a claim until I have positive proof of its truth. I'm also being reasonable in not taking up a position on the claim until I have proof. I am NOT being reasonable by accepting it as true because there is no proof of its falsity. If you make a positive existence claim (such as "there is a god") YOU are the one with a case to prove, and you're committing the fallacy from ignorance to believe otherwise
Wfftam 2 weeks ago
@Wfftam I don't think you actually finished reading my comment... I am saying that atheist claims such as "there is no god" are just as foolish as "there is a god", there is evidence for neither of these claims, so the rational decision is to take middle ground and accept that we don't know, not to spit in eachothers faces claiming there is or is not, some atheists have the same tendencies as theists in ramming there unfounded beliefs down peoples' throats
EarlySeed 2 weeks ago
@EarlySeed first of all, I agree with your last point, there are zealotrous morons on both sides of the fence, they don't all subscribe to the same viewpoint. My point is that just because I don't have evidence in the non-existence of something doesn't mean I'm being unreasonable in disbelieving its existence. There's no evidence against leprechauns, unicorns or Harry Potter style magic, does that make it unreasonable to deny that it exists?
Wfftam 2 weeks ago
@Wfftam I see your point now, you are right. I think denying the existence of anything with certainty is unreasonable, but nowhere near as unreasonable as preaching the existence of something without evidence. Nonetheless, certainty is very unscientific.
EarlySeed 2 weeks ago
@EarlySeed oh absolutely, but that's one of my preferred points about science. It HAS to be open to review and change on the basis of new evidence in order to retain any relevance at all, so I do understand your earlier proposition as well. I think an issue is that atheists and theists use "surety" in different ways for this very reason. But I'm glad we can understand each other :)
Wfftam 2 weeks ago
@EarlySeed No, the rational decision to make is to believe that there is no god because evidence points toward there being none. If there were no evidence for a flying potato in space would the default position be that we don't know? No, it would be that there is none until proven so.
xBlackEditionx 2 weeks ago
@xBlackEditionx There is no such thing as evidence for non-existence... On another note, you shouldn't use something tangible as an example, god is an idea, not an object... I think the idea of creator is becoming more and more real (not in the religious sense) because we ourselves are now creators (Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Modification), are you saying it's unreasonable to say "there might be a god"?
EarlySeed 2 weeks ago
@EarlySeed Definitely not unreasonable to say that. But just because we ourselves are creators doesn't mean we were created in the same sense. If you look at the human body it correlates with the earth so closely. We breathe it's air. We drink it's water, eat it's food. The earth wasn't made for us. We were made from the earth. And I think the earth needs more credit rather than some non-existent deity. Look at how we treat it the earth, it's disgusting. We need to focus.

@93Cobalt Oh yes, I definitely think religions today are quite a farce, but I don't think it's right to deny the existence of a greater consciousness... The atheist argument against theism is based on lack of evidence, so why would you claim with certainty there is no god if you have no evidence for it; you can never prove the non-existence of something... atheists who obsess over the belief there is no god are just as foolish as theists. agnosticism is much more rational.
EarlySeed 2 weeks ago
@EarlySeed I agree with the fact that we can't prove God whether God exists or not, and I agree that it would be silly to claim absolutely that there is no God. In a sense I am agnostic. Dawkins himself said that he is 99.9% atheist. But I am atheist in the sense that I am anti-theology, in that I see the damage caused by theology and I want to do something about it. Being that I am virtually non-existent in the real world, the internet gives us a voice. Plus, we're safe from death threats.

You can't prove, for certain, whether or not unicorns exist. But I assume you would have no trouble saying "There are no unicorns". It's because, when you make that claim, you are not doing so with absolute certainty. It's about practical knowledge. You are aware that all the current evidence we have suggests that unicorns are nothing but man-made mythology, and there has been no evidence to suggest that unicorns actually exist or existed.
The same can be said for any god or deity.

I don't think being an atheist means you have to view the subject strongly. Frankly, we shouldn't have to. For me it has always been natural to not believe in a god. It's an inconvenience to have to deal with outside religious pressures at all. We shouldn't even be having the conversation in the first place. There never has been any remote evidence for god, so we shouldn't even have to discuss it at. The fact that I have to label myself "atheist" is even bad.

"My daughter just turned five you know?"
No I do not know Penn. What is this "turning five" you speak of?

@pedarikarhu "you know" is a rhetorical question which is used at the end a sentence to signify the thought that the person using it has just informed you of something.
"turning five" is a colloquial expression in the English language that bares no similarity to literally "turning" round a corner for example, however it means that ones age has turned to the next one, imagine a click-counter, when one clicks the button the wheels spin around and the new number appears.

@DrBlueDot Asperger Syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder which you apparently have.

This is what i would tell my children, "There is no god, but you know what there is? Your family who loves you, who you will have with you for the rest of your life during the good and bad times. And every single day you keep living your life you will meet new people, some who will make a mark in your life and share a new love with you. Don't ever let someone bring you down because you're a "non-believer". You have something even better, that's real, to make you happy."

@publiusdg "There is no god"
The explicit affirmation that god(s) do not exist requires faith
