    Atheism just means that you have yet to find a reason to believe in God or some higher power. It is not a belief system, it is a lack of reason to believe in any belief system.

      Atheism is the denial of god’s existence, a-theism, and since you have no way to prove that there’s no god (the same way there’s no way of proving that there is), you believe that your version of the story is the correct one.

      it is a lack of reason to believe in any belief system.

      You believe all the things you think are true but can’t prove.

      I don’t really want this to devolve into an argument, since I get that this way of thinking holds no practical purpouse, so if you think that it’s too philosophical, that’s okay.
