    Atheism is just as illogical as theism. You can apply Occam’s razor to assume that there is no god/gods, but that is still just that, an assumption. Agnosticism would be the logically/scientifically backed argument.

      No, it’s not. Unfalsifiable deities are unscientific. So being an atheist against any kind of unfalsifiable deity is scientific. And all religion is unfalsifiable by definition.

        Being an atheist is also unfalsifiable. Disbelief in any one God is not unscientific, but disbelief in the possibility of God is, objectively.

        I have confused atheism and anti-theism.

          That is stupid logic. The possibility of a potato controlling everyones’ mind is not zero.

          There is nothing that indicates a god exists, hence no reason to believe it. The scientific way would be to belive it if it was possible to prove, but since it is not and there is nothing to indicate otherwise, atheism.

          Yeah, because you can’t disprove someone not believing in a higher power

          Atheism doesn’t make a positive claim that something does or does not exist, it’s a statement of belief

          Gnostic atheism is akin to a claim there is no higher beings, that I’ll grant

      Typically, atheists don’t spend a lot of time thinking about gods. Also, most theists aren’t just theists, they follow a very specific religion/god, which is orders of magnitude less reasonable.

      So it’s logical to doubt whether pink flying unicorns exist?

      Or could it be that not believing in those is the logical position?

      Abrahamic religions are cancer
