Question

Do atheists oftentimes have strong faith that there is no God?

Luna Rose Top Answerer

Atheism is based on logic, not faith. Most atheists take a logical look at the universe and find no evidence to clearly say that God either exists or doesn't exist. Thus, they don't know, and decide not to believe in God unless God is somehow scientifically proven to be real. It's quite dispassionate, and atheists may feel emotions like acceptance, annoyance, or indifference when it comes to religion. A minority of atheists are very angry, usually because they've seen abuses or ridiculous behavior by religious people and institutions. But most atheists are simply comfortable not believing in God for logical reasons, and are happy to accept a vision of a world where goodness is its own reward with nothing waiting for them afterwards.
