So you don't believe our Atheism is sincere now? You think we're all secretly theists? I get tired of this nonsense. All of us Atheists here are what we say we are. I do not believe in God. My admittance of the 'truth' is an assertion that there is no evidence for the existence of a God.
Likewise. It can get tiresome being told you are 'arrogant', 'proud' or 'in denial' as opposed to simply 'wrong', which would be fair enough, of course. None of that is true. It really is a simple as the fact that while theists believe God exists, atheists do not believe that God exists. Agnostics don't know, haven't decided and/or don't believe it is even possible to know. In view of the failure so far to prove the matter either way, that seems a very strong position to me.
In all cases the same factors are at work, culture, upbringing, education, and an examination of the evidence in reaching a reasoned decision on the matter. The only 'fact' is that neither side is any more able to 'prove' their case than anyone else has been over the past 2,500 years or so. The ball there is really in the theist court, it's far easier to prove that something does exist than that it doesn't or cannot.
