Surely all atheists believe God does not exist. Isn’t that an atheist by definition?

Answer:
None. They figure that if they wait long enough it will change itself by accident.
How many Unitarians: does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer:
'We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.'

Well I never met an atheist who said they did not believe in other life in the universe. After all, the universe is so vast and unknown and how could we be the only life out there?
However, God is completely out of the question? How is God so different from other life forms you believe exist out there? At best, you are an agnostic to other life forms, but you are an atheist towards God?
No, you just hate the God of the Bible is all. That is the rub.
Admit it. It is good for the soul. 😵

Based on what? Probability?
If one rejects God and accepts evolution then it is only natural to come to such a conclusion.

BTW, I think the Bible is silent (doesn’t address) whether life exists elsewhere in the universe, so if it does, that hardly disproves the existence of God or invalidates the Bible.

But if you think about it, without God everything is just random probability.

BTW, an atheist only has to investigate the odds of everything being just right to support the emergence of life on earth to realize the probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe is much more likely to be improbability.
