But, of course atheists express a simplistic religion-like faith that cannot be proven by facts. Just ask them about global warming.

Why don’t you just ask me about “globull warming”?

I’ll give the question the robust horselaugh it deserves, proving that I have faith in humor, once again.

I wonder why you equate atheism with belief in anthropogenic global warming. I am an atheist and I think AGW is complete nonsense. I do believe in global warming and global cooling. I even believe that humans have a minuscule effect on climate. The idea that we are destroying he planet with our cars and air conditioners is ludicrous. So why so often is atheism conflated with AGW. And why is it so important to prove that atheists have faith about something?. That would not prove that faith in god is justified. It would just mean that the belief they hold by faith is also unjustified.

Personally, I can’t think of one thing that I have faith about, faith being defined as belief without evidence or in the face of evidence to the contrary.
