Read off the back of a newspaper today.
There is no proof either way that a god does or does not exist.
So you cannot say for certain that a god does or does not exist.
Seeing as it is an act of faith to say that a god exists, it means that it is also an act of faith to say that a god does not exist.
and so it follows that being an athiest means following an article of faith as well. ie. athiests follow the religion of no god.
Can anyone explain if this is accurate or if it falls down somewhere and why I now have a picture of a god in box with a decaying isotope.
