Thread: Do Atheists seem hypocritical to you?

Why would you need a proof to disbeliev in something? If your friend told you that he has this imaginary friend with magical powers named Siegfried but can't prove it, would you believe him? I find it silly that when someone has imaginary friend with magical powers named Siegfried he is deemed crazy and put in a mental hospital but when there are a lot of people with the same imaginary friend it is called religion.

Everyone has a religion because everyone has an opinion about the unknown, even if it[s not an organized religion.

Well if not believing in god is religion then not playing football is a sport :P

Sure, we can't say for sure that there isn't some god but what we can tell for sure, is that none of existing religions is true (unless they are some sick idea of a joke from god/gods.
