But atheists DO know for sure that there is no omnipotent being that created everything.It's not another religion. Based on your logic, I can say that black, the lack of a color, is a color? I could further say that if something is imaginary, then it is still real because something real must be imagining it.
Sounds like another religion to me. You need faith to accept it, just like Catholicism or Buddhism.
No, that doesn't make sense. Atheism is just the rejection in the belief of a God. People who don't want to assume something exists. I'm pretty sure if God can be proved, many of the Athiests would be quick to convert.
