We are all athiests. We all have many gods we do not believe in. There are 1000s of them.

I just chose to disbelieve in 1 more than many.

"How thoughtful of god to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one."

I've always wondered what the point of being deist is really? You're basically a weak agnostic? It's the same difference.

Not even close. But then again your description of atheism was way off base too.

Disbelief in a God. You're arguing semantics. I understand that's not the true definition but we both have gods we don't believe in.

Do you believe in Zues?

All joking aside, the one less god argument falls flat because it makes the assumption that atheism is the default viewpoint, and to get back to the default, you simply disbelieve in all possible deities.

But if God does exist, and one religion is actually correct, then that would be the true default, and atheists would be at fault for disbelieving in one too many gods.

I feel like the one less god argument is parallel to Paschal's wager in their uselessness at actually providing any evident reason for believing or disbelieving.

So many agnostic votes yet when there is a real discussion most people consider themselves either religious or atheists
Personally, agonism is the way to go...mostly because I don't give a shit either way
I spend like 0.1% of my thoughts a year in thinking whether god exists or not

I suppose I'm atheist, as I don't believe in any single god, all of them deserve the same respect.

Personally though, I believe that if there is any supernatural existence out there, we're nowhere near discovering the truth of it. "God" as he's currently perceived by humans makes utterly no sense.

Atheism means no belief in any God.

If you believe in any God, then you are not atheist. This is not semantics; this is literally what the word means to everyone.

A belief in only one God is monotheism, and a belief in many gods is polytheism. So people who only believe in one or multiple gods but not all gods ever described by humanity are not atheists, they are monotheists or polytheists, respectfully.

You are an atheist, and completely unrelated to that trait, you are also an idiot.

Don't you have to specifically believe in a god to be agnostic? I don't believe any supernatural being truly exists.

But then, this is such a small world and we know so very little. I'm open to possibilities.

Makes sense. It didn't used to be as common, but nowadays I see a lot more people with similar beliefs to mine.

Hopefully that means religion won't be as prominent in another 20 years or so.

I wonder if I'm agnostic actually

I do believe there's more to the universe than what we perceive with our eyes, that we are limited animals with tons of room to evolve more and perceive more

But that which we cannot perceive isn't necessarily a god or someone/something running the show, just...more.

Not really; that's why I don't believe in one. Certainly any more specific assertions about the form of such a being are hard to call credible, although I don't think there's anything wrong with making them. I just believe in the limitations of our perception. Our perception of the natural world is limited already by the current boundaries of our knowledge and the capabilities of our physical form. If there were something that could be called supernatural, it could be completely impossible for us to observe.
