Not necessarily. Why does everyone in the country have to be completely informed for the country to go to war? We trust our leaders to make those decisions for us so we can live our lives.

"The bottom line is that atheism cannot disprove the existence of God(s) anymore than theisms can prove it - at best you can make imperfect philosophical arguments that God(s) does or does not exist while ultimately relying on some form of more or less blind faith"

You're right when you say no one can disprove the existence of god. But no one can disprove the existence of unicorns or leprechauns, either. No one would say that you have to "rely on blind faith" to disbelieve in unicorns, but you just said the same thing about god, even though those two things have the same probability of existing.

The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. Nothing exists unless and until it is proven to exist. If you cannot prove the existence of god, the I have no reason to take you seriously.

Jesus, Freddie. First The Dark Knight, now Watchmen. I think you just pretend to dislike anything remotely popular because you think that makes you cool.

Most atheists know they aren't EVER going to deconvert religious believers. Believers believe what they do despite a complete lack of evidence - that's what faith is. No amount of contrary evidence to their beliefs will ever convince them to give up their religion. So we atheists have moved on to simply ridiculing them - because that's all they'll listen to.
