Aargh, not this one again!<br>
<br>
Atheists do NOT <i>believe there are no gods</i>. That is not
atheism. Atheists <i>don't believe there are gods</i> instead. Big
difference.<br>

Yes, I'm sure there are people who call themselves atheists and say
they have a belief in the non-existence of gods, but that is not
what atheism is defined as. It's non-belief in the existence of
gods. They look similar ideas, but if you look at them properly, you
can see they are worlds apart. Believing that something is not true
is a different thing to not believing that something is.<br>
