Atheism requires no faith whatever

It requires faith or a complete absence of reflection on the questions of "where did we come from?" and "why are we here?"

What an arrogant notion. Your acceptance or rejection of belief has no impact on God's existence, no more than the lack of discovery of life on other planets affects the existince of life on other planets.

You continue to make this statement, but I've shown you that it's in error. Firstly, you are misidentifying yourself as an atheist from our previous exchanges. Secondly, it is atheism that makes a claim, that being "there is NO God". That is a claim, and one who makes a claim incurs a burden of proof, which you can not provide, and therefore atheism must be taken on faith.

Atheism requires the faith (without proof) that you are all knowing. Definitely a huge leap in the dark.
