Also, alot of people think atheism is the assertion that there is no god. And that is not the case. It is merely the position of not believing.
Not being convinced of "X" is not the same as "X" does not exist.
I have seen it defined that way. I have yet to meet anyone who actually conformed to the definition.
Really? What definition would they conform to?
The one you provided. Atheism is merely a position of not believing. I have yet to meet anyone who met that definition.
In the absence of evidence, any position is belief. So to lack belief one must be totally neutral. In essence, have no opinion at all.
