Its not cool or edgy its just normal, its the default position, why would I believe in something when there is no evidence whatsoever ?

There are 3000 ''gods'' claimed to exist, do you believe in only one ? that means you deny 2999 of them right ? thats almost atheism.

Atheism only means non belief in a deity THATS IT nothing else. Provide actual evidence and I won't be an atheist no more.

You mean you believe that no God exists. In which case, your belief structure is no different than than those who believe in a deity. It's another reason the government classified atheism as a belief system, you get your tax benefits.

The only true position non belief system is agnosticism, the others all worship something.

My definition of atheism stops here ''a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods''

anything you add to that is on you. If a religious person claims a god exist I'm just waiting for their evidence, I do not claim to know there is no god I claim I don't believe. Now you claim a god exist provide evidence, btw which one of the 3000 is it ?

Let me try a little exercise that may prove creationism.

Where did we(humans) come from?

No one really knows, science is trying to find out and religion pretends to know the answer. Why is there 3000 different creation stories ? If you're gonna say some dude created the universe and all its 100000000000000 stars you better have very good evidence.
