FYI - Maher made the point on the "Daily Show" that he is ABSOLUTELY not an atheist and he finds atheism to suffer from the same issues that he has with religious people: That they are typically close-minded and self-assured about a subject that nobody should be 100% sure about.

I've mentioned this in previous religion/atheism threads, but I don't know of a single atheist who ever states with 100% certainty that there isn't a god or gods. Not even Richard Dawkins makes that claim. Most atheists will point to the complete and total lack of evidence of a god's existance, and therefore choose to lead there lives, quite logically, as if there is no god. Should there suddenly appear indisputable evidence that a god exists, the vast majority of atheists would quickly change their viewpoint in light of that new information.
