The true meaning of atheism is the belief that God is just as likely to exist as not

You believe there is no lion exists in your wardrobeyou do not believe god exist but you do not believe god doesn't existTherfore, you believe God is more likely to exist than a lion in your wardrobe. Anti-theism: the active belief that a deity does not existMost so called "atheist" are in fact anti-theist. To be an atheist you must proclaim that god is equally likely to exist as notFirstly we must discuss what it is to believe something.I'd like to break down what motivates our beliefs:mostly, our beliefs are motivated by facts and reason. For example, i paid my water bill this month and i have not recieved any suspended service annoucements, therefore, i believe that water will come out of the tap. It is reasonable for me to believe this even though I'm not %100 sure that water WILL come out of the tap. or, my mother told me santa clause exists, i'm only 5 and i trust my mother is not a liar or misinformed, therefore, i believe santa clause exists. If reason and facts point to something being a certain way yet i believe the opposite then I'm either in denial, I'm hopeful or irrational. For example, if I'm now 45, all evidence points to santa clause being false yet i still choose to believe in him then I'd either be in denial or irrational. I'm in denial because deep down i believe santa doesn't exists but force myself to think otherwise or irrational because I trust my strong desire for santa's existence to be greater evidence than objective facts and reason. A hopeful situation would be if i continued to search and call out the name of my lost dog even though most signs point to him being dead. It's still possible my dog is alive and i cling on to these possibilities, but objectively, i'd have to admit i believe my dog is dead. Now, if evidence points to it being equally possible for my dog to be alive, that is, someone said they saw him dead on the road but another person said they saw him at the exact same time running across the park then objectively I wouldn't believe he is alive or dead but I'd keep searching because the reward outweighs the cost of searching for him. At that moment of searching I'd be in state of suspended belief. I would hold no assumptions either way. In reality, I'd usually assume he is still alive because it will motivate my search and increase my chances of finding him but this wouldn't add evidence for me to believe he is alive. The reason I go in to great detail about beliefs is because the meaning of atheism is the lack of belief in a deity it is not the belief that a deity does no exist, that's anti-theism. Therefore, for someone to be completely objective when it comes to facts and reasoning about life then anyone who claims it is more plausible that God doesn't exist must assert that they believe God doesn't exist. They don't have to feel strongly about this but they must hold that stance if they are claiming to be objective. They can go on to say "sure, it's "possible" god does exist" but it is more possible he doesn't exist. If said person has no reason to believe God does exists but many reasons to believe God doesn't exist then it is only reasonable that that person believes God does not exist. Let's examine:Reasons for yaweh to exist:1)explains the creation of the universereasons for ya weh is a made up fairtytale:1)he is inconsitent 2)he is paradoxical 3) his actions are illogical 4)his existence was asserted by a human and humans have a long track record of making up bulldust. As you can see, if we were to be like objective robots and form our beliefs based on evidence then we believe that Ya'weh doesn't exist, whether we are certain of this or not. Most Atheist claim to be objective when it comes to examining the claim of Ya'weh, so if they are to stay true to the objectivity then they must assert that they BELIEVE ya-weh doesn't exist. and this goes for all other God's under examination. This then makes them anti-theist, not atheist. Many "atheist" will claim that they don't assert God doesn;t exist because that would require evidence. What these people don;t realize is they have plenty of evidence to prove that each asserted God doesn't exist using the points i made above. remember, at the end of the day all proof is subjective. If I hold out my empty hand and say "prove i'm not holding an apple" and you said "there is not apple in your hand, we cannot see it or feel it, that is proof" then i could say "prove we're both not hullucianating". At the end of the day we have to make an assumption based on reason and logic. In this situation, majority of atheist would NOT say "I do not believe you are holding an apple but i also do not believe there is no apple" the atheist would say "you have no apple in your hand", they would assert that there is no apple in my hand because it is unreasonable to believe there is, so then why are most "agnostic atheist" afraid to assert there is no God when it is unreasonable to believe there is? You don't need physical evidence to disprove something. We didn't need physical evidence to prove i wasn't holding an apple. My claim is that a true atheist is someone that holds no assumption as to the existence of god. They truly do not believe he exist nor do they believe he doesn;t exist, they are neutral. A baby would be what i call an inactive atheist. It does not believe God exists but it also does not believe god doesn't exist. A baby would not say it's unreasonable to believe in God. A baby would not say God is not plausible because the baby is not aware of the concept of God so as far as the baby is concerned God is just as possible to exist as not. The baby is an inactive atheist because it not inquiring or searching. Another example of this is if i say to you Jujubaba exists on mars. Now, you are an a-jujubaba'st by default but you do not believe it's more plausible that jujubaba doesn't exist. you are neutral. First you inquire, "what is jujubaba?" then i'd respond "it's a material" --at that stage you still believe jujubaba is just as plausible to exist as not -- then you'd further inquire "what's this material made out of?" then i'd say "candy" at this point you have gone from an a-jujubaba'st to an anti-jujubaba's, you now actively believe jujubaba does not exist on mars. That is, if someone is a true atheist, the do not deny god but they also do not believe god then they do not believe God is implausible which is exactly the same as saying they believe god is just as likely to exist as not. I'd like share some examples that atheist use to explain their position and I'll demonstrate how these are false:Guilty, not Guilty, innocent Atheist claim that theist assert god is Guilty of existing, anti-theist assert god is innocent of being guilty and they themselves claim God is not guilty. This is true, however, if you hold this position then you must admit it's highly possible God exists. here's why:GUILTY: We have concluded our deliberation and we believe that is beyond doubt that God is guilty of existing, you'll be wasting your time if you continue to investigate NOT GUILTY: we do not not believe God is guilty or innocent of existing, we do not have enough evidence to support guilty, therfore, not guilty, HOWEVER, because you've show it's highly possible God could be guilty we'd encourage you continue your investigation to provide evidence. We do not believe the defendent is innocent, he seems to fit the profile, but we also do not believe he is guilty.INNOCENT: We believe that all evidence points to God being innocent, he does not fit the profile for existing and we descourage wasting any time and resources on continuing this investigation. Here are the catergories of belief:Gnostic theist: I believe God exists and i'm certainAgnostic theist: I believe God exists but I'm not certainAtheist: I do not believe either wayAgnostic anti-theist: I belive God doesn't exist but i'm not certainGnostic anti-theist: I believe God doesn;t exist and I'm certain
