Because atheism and Christianity are the only beliefs around.

In my opinion atheism isn't a belief at all in fact it's the opposite it's the lack of belief. And besides they're just examples, you telling me every single belief is supposed ot be up there?

No, they're just the only important ones.

It's still a belief, because you believe that there's nothing. Nothing is something, and that's what you believe in.

Being whatever you want is okay, and saying whatever you want about whatever or whoever you want is also okay. As long as you don't try and pass off things that are opinions as truths.

They are just words, nothing more. Words can have an effect on us, but only if we let them.

Physically harming someone who has a different opinion is not okay though.

And just saying, being any of those things in the name of Christianity should be okay based on past experiences considering people broke a commandment in the name of Christianity and they did it a lot. Though shalt not kill, yet they killed so many people in the name of Christianity...

Basically; Don't be a dick and shut other people's views down (Or try to) simply because your views are different.

That doesn't apply to everyone.

Atheism is not a belief in nothing. Whoever keeps telling you that has a wrong view on Atheism. Atheism is indeed the lack of belief in deities. Atheism also doesn't mean to discourage the belief of others. We are supposed to be open to opinions and are willing to believe whatever may convinces us. That's why as an Atheist, people tend to ask the question "Do gods exist?". From that stand point, we may, possibly, never come across an answer to that question, thus never accepting the belief in a single god.

So if you meet an Atheist that refutes any belief in another religion, then it's not the fact of being an Atheist, it's the fact that the person is a completely *******. Same goes for if they were a Catholic, a Buddhist, a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, etc. They just simply hide behind that facade as easily as we are willing to blame that religion.

No, Atheism is the belief that there are no deities. Not that we're open minded about converting, but there are none whatsoever. Now, with that in mind, it's safe to say that Atheism is the belief in nothing, so in a sense, it's still a belief.

Perhaps you're thinking of (and correct me if I've got the wrong word or definition) Deism. That is where you believe something exists, but you refuse to worship it for whatever reason.

When you find a definition for Atheism that says "The belief that there are no deities", I'll take my leave. However, Atheism is the lack of belief or disbelief, neither of which means belief in no god. Lack of belief means just that, lack of believing. Disbelieve means refusal to believe, which once again means lack of belief.

Secondly, deism is the belief in a deity with refusal to part take in that way of life. In no way, shape, or form did my description of Atheism describe that. I described the lack of belief with willingness to be openminded to valid opinions in hopes to answer the question "Does a god exist?". However, without solid proof for that atheist, the chance they'll find your opinion valid is slim.

There's a lot of things in this universe that doesn't have solid proof. Does that mean they don't exist?
