atheism
Well, that's my point, it's an arrogant, condescending, attitude. Theists shouldn't be critised for being certain in the belief in God if atheists aren't. It's the same idea isn't it? I mean, thesists believe in God, so why critisise them for expressing that belief? Their freedom is an atheists freedom and vice versa.
Thanks for the welcom, and sorry to not make a distinction on the whole thing of some scientists believing in God and some not. I'll try to be more clear and specific next time.
I would agree that an atheist who is 100% no god/gods/etc. do not exist is a bit arrogant.
However, most atheists simply believe no gods exist, but they are open to the possibility they might be wrong (that's how I feel, and I'm still waiting for some evidence )
