Atheists don't have faith in our God. This makes it a religion.
Atheists have their own prophets.
“The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.”
That is a definitive statement of belief. Dawkins has belief that there is nothing, therefore he is religious!
“In fact, "atheism" is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a "non-astrologer" or a "non-alchemist." We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.”
Here we have another definitive statement of faith from an atheist prophet. He doesn't think the term atheist should be used anymore. No doubt he wants his Satan worshiping ways to not be named.
By trying to adjust to the findings that it once tried so viciously to ban and repress, religion has only succeeded in restating the same questions that undermined it in earlier epochs. What kind of designer or creator is so wasteful and capricious and approximate? What kind of designer or creator is so cruel and indifferent? And—most of all—what kind of designer or creator only chooses to “reveal” himself to semi-stupefied peasants in desert regions?
By questioning the motives of our God, here again the dead saint of atheism is making a statement of fact that there is no God!
Not to mention, atheists believe something came from nothing. We can't explain how it happened, therefore God did it!
It takes much more faith to think that God does not exist or to question the motives of God thinking it is more likely he does not exist.
I certainly don't have that kind of faith to be so sure that God probably doesn't exist.
