The definition of atheism is literally in the word a-theism, the opposite of theism. A theist believes there's at least one deity, an atheist believes the opposite, that there are no deities. An agnostic, in a sense, believes nothing. There's no proof God exists, there's no proof God doesn't exist so an agnostic makes no claims about God. By rejecting the the possibility of a God you're making a claim and without proof that claim becomes faith. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] pennomi@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) Also it’s absolutely ridiculous to say that rejecting a claim is the same as making a claim. This doesn’t hold up to even the most basic of philosophical rigor. You are claiming that rejecting a claim needs no proof to be true. Alright, I'll reject your claim.
