But I also don't really know what atheism is all about so I'm just being ignorant. Do they believe that there is absolutely no God? Because that's what I'd consider dumb, for my reason stated above.
I consider myself an atheist because I have never seen any kind of compelling evidence for the existence of a god or gods. I think it's a pretty reasonable position to have. There are a million other things I also lack belief in because of insufficient evidence and I've always found it strange that this one particular thing is the only one that such large numbers of people are hypercritical of.

I consider myself an atheist because I've seen way too much in this world that proves a God simply can't exist. If one did there's no way they'd allow the insane amount of pain and suffering that occurs on a daily basis all over this planet.
