Understand what? "lack of beleif is what decides anything".. lack of belief in a god or gods decides if you are an atheist or not. That's the definition of the word.
Lack of belief in a god can help to form further conclusions, but that's true of any belief. Lack of belief in Wotan (all Christians being defacto atheists with respect to Wotan) helps Christians form conclusions about their god and religion.
Was kirant right about what you meant?

Quote taken absoultley out of context. I did not say it is a science, rather considered a science by the practioners. Athiests claim, however true, due to lack of empirical evidence that god does not exist thus protraying their belief system to be meritted by science.
kirant is correct in my thoughts, although he is incorrect in that Christianity is a missionary religion. They are dutied to spread the message even so to the degree where my beleifs will send me to hell. In a similar manner I find ahtiests telling me i'm wrong for simply having a belief in god even though I yield no information in my methods of practice.
As humans we must be ever inquisitive, we must always endevour to question even what is considered unquestionable. Just because I believe in god does not say I do not seek other answers. I firmly believe in gods aswell as the guiding laws of physics, I say this as a real scientist.
But I am not here to say athiests are incorrect or wrong in their beliefs as i truley feel that everyone is free to practice whatever they want including and no limited to satanisim (even though I do not believe in the existance of a "anti-god").
