What do you call a belief system that claims that no gods exist?
​
A belief that no gods exist = strong atheism
A lack of belief that gods exist, but no absolute statement that gods do no exist = weak atheism
It is impossible to know if gods exist (and therefore, don't believe in any gods) = agnosticism
​
And to throw another hat in the arena:
​
A belief that claims should be backed by verifiable evidence = positive empiricism

I thought most Christians were aware of the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctum where God was said to dwell.

To all you Philosophical types. I am a radical, militant atheist and I don't think that I would ever be tempted to put my male sex organ into the cloaca of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. I don't even have chimney at home . Does that count as a belief or a non-belief?

If you read that quote with a strong Russian accent, it sounds awesome.
