There is gnostic atheism (I claim to know for sure there is no god) and agnostic atheism (I don't believe there is a god, but I don't claim to know for sure). Most atheists are the latter, which has no faith required.

    You have accomplished more with one short paragraph than the joint thesis/manifesto everyone else in this thread wrote.

    My experience has always been with the former; Atheists who proudly pronounced that there cannot be a god. That experience has made some people very upset.

    Why had I only been exposed to that one kind of Atheist? I dunno. Maybe it has to do with the time period or the location, but I hadn’t encountered any other kind before this, not a topic of interest for me. And after all this, I would rather not ever again. Oh well.
