Yes, I saw it. Ultimately you're trying to argue that it is "faith" to withhold belief in something in abscence of evidence. I also have seen no evidence that invisible dragons live on the surface of Mars -- do I have "faith" that they don't exist, since I certainly lack belief in them?

What I'm saying is that a total "lack of belief" is disingenuous and not logical. In order for one to "withhold" belief in dragons on Mars one must affirmatively believe that it is possible that they don't exist. If not, one cannot claim non-belief. Since one's non-belief must neccessarily be predicated on other affirmative beliefs it is not really "non-belief" at all. Therefore a-theism is, in fact, a belief, not the lack of same.
