How is atheism a faith?

[John Clark]

If there was an 8 on the scale, that would be me. It would be the same as #7, only with more swearing.

I'm probably somewhere between a six and seven. One of my mates though, they'd probably have to go up to about 11

The OP could just search one of the ten thousand other times this topic has been proposed and read that and save everyone the bellyache.

If we played by those rules, board woulda gone quiet in '07.

Atheism isn't a belief nor is it a disbelief. Atheism is for an intents and purposes the same meaning as God, which is uncertainty in knowing how something works, such as the environment that a tree grows in. Atheists really don't believe or disbelieve, but are more so aligned with discovering the reasons why something is to further their knowledge on how Creation made everything, so to then say that God is real.

Atheism is more about putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together to make the knowledge of God real instead of always being uncertain.

Really it depends on which of the myriad descriptions of "god" one is using.
I'm about a 4.1 regarding the god of Spinoza and Einstein, but a 6.995 regarding the general description of the Abrahamic God.
