[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I find strange about non-believers (atheism) is the same strange thing I find about believers (religious).  Both actually believe in something without proof.  Atheist believe God or a higher power does not exist but they can not prove it.  Religious types believe a God or higher power does exist and also can not prove it.

For me personally, I'm agnostic.  Is there a God or higher power?  I don't know.  But if I had to choose which (atheisim or Religon) is more logically based, I'd have to go with atheism.  A leap of faith is just that.[/quote]

Dependens what you mean by "proof".

As much as "proof" has any meaning, yes, theories like The Germ Theory of Disease and "evolution" have been "proved". You're not going to "prove" them in the same way you prove a math problem. The fact of God's non-existence has also been "proved"--at least in the sense that generally we say a thing doesn't exist if humanity has found exactly zero evidence that that thing exists.

So, no, not really any faith to be an atheist--at least no more atheistic faith than every single religious person on the planet has towards every invented deity in history...with the exception of *their* deity.

He's, like, *totally* real, dude!
