[Cogadh na Sith]

Atheism is the abscence of belief in deities. It is nothing more than that. It is an empty set, a descriptor for the lack of a property, it is to religion as bald is to hair colour.

Sure, and it makes perfect, rational sense to the human mind. It's probably the only thing that makes perfect, rational sense. That fact alone should arouse suspicion...

Sure, and it makes perfect, rational sense to the human mind. It's probably the only thing that makes perfect, rational sense.

Not accepting a proposition without evidence for it is rational, I'll admit...though the "not accepting" part only comes into play when the proposition is presented. An atheist lacks belief in all deities, including those that have never been presented. Are you saying that it would be better to believe in something about which a person has never even heard? How would someone even go about believing in something without being informed of the concept?

That fact alone should arouse suspicion...

Why? What is wrong with being rational? What is wrong with not accepting unsupported assertions and not believing things of which you've never even heard at all?
