Americans and Religion

[Quark]

OTOH, I've found atheists to be generally arrogant as hell when it comes to their "enlightened" belief that they are smarter than religious people solely on the basis that they are not believing in something that can't be proven and requires an act of faith.

I have no problem with people who believe what they do because they questioned it, thought about it, and came to that conclusion.

I have a problem with those who simply believe what they are told.

As far as "closemindedness", do atheists believe that there is at least a small possibility that there is a god? They do NOT. That is also closemindedness. Those who do think that it is at least a remote possibility are not true atheists.

Wow, you're just the expert on atheists aren't you? Let's go through this, slowly and surely, so you get it right this time and don't mark me as something I'm not:
1) Theists believe in a god/gods. Some may admit they can be wrong and there is none, but some will not.
2) Agnostics have no belief; there is no proof.
4) Atheists believe there is no god. Some may admit they can be wrong, and some will not.

I believe there is no god, just I believe natural selection exists. But I am not so stupid as to claim I am 100% right, so stop putting words in my mouth.
