Not everyone who follows atheism is even aware of the reasons they do it. Much like a lot of people are religious without knowing the religion they follow. People follow frameworks without really investigating them all the time.

refer to the part you bolded in my post.This is bullshyt all people who are atheist don't have a united theory or thought that's part of the point in being an atheist we just don't see any evidence of a god based on empirical evidence.

Depends on your environment and where you grew up. People follow bandwagons. I know people who actually believe in God but don't profess any beliefs because they feel family pressure to be atheist. I also know people who aren't really religious who just go through the motions.
Social leanings can be a powerful influence on people's beliefs. I feel like you should be true to urself. If you don't believe, then stand for that. If you do believe, stand for that. Either way know urself regardless of what others think.
there's not many black circles where rejecting god is accepted.History casually disagrees with you, religion undergirds people's identity and that is one thing people don't like to have challenged without the prerogative of rebuttal or to be offendedI don't think the two beliefs are mutually exclusive. Belief in the divine shouldn't result in mistrust of scientific breakthroughs.
I don't have to have people debate their personal understandings of their beliefs to have a conversation about religion and scientific connections.

spirituality is what I love most about my atheism these daysThere is no evidence to suggest that we are not alone. Until such evidence comes along, why would I stake my morality on such a baseless concept? Is the only reason I don't set forest fires because I believe in Smokey the Bear?
You seem to think atheism is banal and bereft of meaning, but I am an atheist, and thus can tell you with absolute certainty that an atheist is capable of awe or feelings of transcendence you would deem "spiritual". Which would make sense because concepts of spirituality are a human invention.
But I'd rather have those feelings in the context of what reason and logic has revealed to me than attach them to some creator myths. It is my actions and the meaning I choose to attach to them that gives me purpose, not some higher power.

? wooooooooooowwwwwww

thinking about such a cognitively dissonant reality.
You may be like me an Agnostic.Idk what to classify myself as. Some days I'll believe in God....other days I'll be like that nikka don't exist
Prove it

Prove Santa doesn't exist.
Prove the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist.
Hell, prove I'm not the Creator of the universe.
Believers are the ones who assert God is real so the burden of proof is on them.
You say "God isn't real" is a similar assertion.
Let's not assert that. Let's just put it like this then "There is as much evidence for the existence of God as there is Santa Claus. Therefore people who believe in God should be viewed the same as people who believe in Santa."
That sounds fair to me.![]()
Do it brehLogically and scientifically you can disprove the existence of santa claus and tooth fairy,
