Atheism is not a belief!

Beating a dead horse here, I know.

Theists often argue that atheism is a belief. Hell (npi), they even occasionally will claim that atheism is a religion. Is it just me that thinks this is one of the dumbest argument ever? Do I even need to explain why? Idiots like Dr. William Lane Craig have claimed that being an atheist "takes faith". Does it take faith to not believe in an idea that coincidently also takes faith to believe in? Apparently it also takes faith to not believe in unicorns. Theists often attempt to steal the arguments atheists make, and try to turn it back on them. This shows that they are able to easily recognize the weaknesses of their arguments.

I know, this is one of those pointless ranting blog posts that I occasionally throw up. I just wanted to get my atheist-rage out onto the internets. Be free rage!

Anyways, if you want to argue against atheism, there are plenty of arguments that are much more effective. I don't believe any atheist will take such an argument (i.e. that atheism is a belief/religion) seriously. It's a shame theists weren't more creative with their arguments, the debate could be much more interesting if they were...just that much more... intelligent. This isn't meant to be offensive, but the atheist vs. theist debate has become so incredibly boring now.
