Atheism is to a religion as

non stamp collecting is a hobby as

not smoking is a habit.

[IanBillings00]

The question he poses at 12:00 is absolutely rediculous. This is a typical theist arguement. Illogically compare belief in god to something completely different, and say, "See?! These things just don't match up! Therefore - the atheist was wrong!"

This is false, because a belief in god is simply not like belief in unicorns, etc. There's no Church of the Unicorn, nobody indoctrinates their children to believe they are real, and the penalty for abandoning your belief in unicorns is NOT DEATH.

God does not exist. I'm absolutely certain. I KNOW this is true because I believe it.

[iloveasianfoskco]

Last I checked, No Atheist will ever say with absolute certainty that God does not exist.

@snoman99991 It's called "fear of death". He would be killed by his supporters if he actually preached the truth. This can lead you to do pretty crazy things.

[RockBanned]

@IanBillings00 Search "Atheist experience: the best caller ever" and you'll see a perfect example of a theist using logic to disprove the existence of unicorns that he wouldn't apply to God.

[snoman99991]

I'm rather confused why this man is not an Atheist himself. He seems to have a grasp of some of the arguments but decides to align himself where he can never prove himself rather than trying to find out the answer himself.

[MegaJay79]

The concept for God is buried in antiquity. Its 2010 we need to let go of religions that come from a text we know has lots of falsehoods and embrace where we are in the universe

[sultan121]

Masha'Allah amazing recitation, with a beautiful voice!

[ColdLance]

Atheism is the lack of believe. Nothing more.

A-theism, the 'A' part meaning lacking, not having etc.

Thiesm meaning a belief in a god.

Being an athiest says nothing else about you than the above.
