[ExI] atheism

[flemming]

To be an atheist is exactly just another religion. You can believe that there is no god, but you can not prove it. Therefore atheism is a religion based on belief. If you want to distance yourself from religion the right ism is agnostisism. To be an agnostisc is to decclare that there is not enough data to settle the question if there is or is not a god.
Most natural scientist, if not religious, are agnostics, the late Carl Sagan is one example.
