Ok then, is it possible to have NO religious beliefs? NO faith?
I mean, that's supposed to be what atheism is... but somehow atheists are still religious and have faith according to a few here... Hence the paradox of what you are saying.
- And if yes, what are those people called? How would they define themselves?inteliboy

"I don't believe in gods."
What is it? Is it a fact?, Is a tenet?, a belief?, a position?, a theory?, a hypothosis?
Can someone clarify.- it's like saying "i don't believe in flying reindeer" or "green men on mars"monospaced
- it doesn't require proof, it's just common sensemonospaced
- its common sense for the profane.yurimon

If you don't believe in Zeus, or Thor, or any of the hundreds of Indian gods, then you are an atheist too. It's not that hard to take it one step further and cut out the last "monotheistic" god and just not believe in any at all.
- Thor was an ET and the lightning bolts were a ray gun. Don't you know anything?********
- Do you understand the nature of those concepts of the archetypes you mention? before you make your assumption?yurimon

Firstly, Common Sense is subjective.
Secondly, I'm looking for an objective definition of what the statement 'I don't believe in gods' actually IS, for instance, Is it a belief?

If everyone would just say "i'm not 100% sure about what's actually going on, but i choose to believe that __________" (and actually mean it), it'd eliminate the need for such arguments
- You'd think so wouldn't you, Atheists have a problem with this though.Morning_star
- haha, aye, just the atheists.detritus

You said " 'I don't believe in gods' is a statement based on evidence."
You're claiming that you have evidence that there are no gods? Cool. Where is it?

"Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance, and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion."

"Religion has run out of justifications. Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, it no longer offers an explanation of anything important. Where once it used to be able, by its total command of a worldview, to prevent the emergence of rivals, it can now only impede and retard—or try to turn back—the measurable advances that we have made.
Sometimes, true, it will artfully concede them. But this is to offer itself the choice between irrelevance and obstruction, impotence or outright reaction, and, given this choice, it is programmed to select the worse of the two.
Meanwhile, confronted with undreamed-of vistas inside our own evolving cortex, in the farthest reaches of the known universe, and in proteins and acids which constitute our nature, religion offers either annihilation in the name of god, or else the false promise that if we take a knife to our foreskins, or pray in the right direction, or ingest pieces of wafer, we shall be “saved.”
