I hadn't meant that as my position, merely that some would argue that way. I do think it could be possible as a rational position to take though, given that a person may see it as a choice between two options they couldn't prove, and it would be better for their lives to accept the norms of their community.

But like I said in my previous post. Faith is a Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. Since you can't prove a negative, I don't see how atheism is a belief (beyond semantics, which we are probably arguing anyway). I am intested in your opinion on this.

I think we are arguing semantics.
