I'm not sure I agree. An atheist believes there is no god and embraces the lack of an afterlife. I believe they are wrong, their belief is as much an article of faith as anything else. They claim to know the unknowable.
I'm not anti religion. I wouldn't bulldoze St Pauls cathedral, it's a lovely place. Nice people go there and pray and good for them. Princess Diana got married there, good for her. Religion has achieved some great things. I just am unable to recognise their faith and have no interest in it. It certainly doesn't make me an atheist though.
