Why can't stupid people understand simple concepts.

Atheists reject theism. We reject the substitution of belief for reality.

why cant christians define christianity? there are like a thousand different cults who reject all the others.

atheism is the belief that you do not need an all powerful deity in charge of everything. the universe is fine being a self generating system with no controller, with self awareness built in from the beginning. god is not necessary to explain any of this, and we dont need god to be moral or even human. god MAY exist, but all the forms described are completely inadequate and obviously anthropocentric. PS i do know there is a god, but i dont need that word to define my experience of the divine. fuck god

No one really believes in their religion. Everyone has doubts.

Everything you just said is so restricted. It sounds monotheistic and linear.

The possibilities go far far beyond your definition.

Because the alternate option is based on unscientific principles. The problem lies not with atheism, but with theism.
