Since atheism is a belief

I've recently learned on this forum that atheism--a lack of belief in any deity--is somehow a "belief". So I'd like to share my other non-belief beliefs:

I'm also an a-Bugs Bunny-ist. This deeply held belief is comes from the spiritual awakening I had when my soul realized there was no Bugs Bunny.

A-Chris Cringlism: One of the most important nights of my life, was a cold winter evening when I gave a homeless man a cup of warm cup of ramen noodles. In return, he shared the hard-to-swallow, but life-changing truth about Santa Clause's lack of reality.

A-Fonzy-ism: "A", Fonzy...alas, the leather jacket-wearing god is no god at all. I know that some fanatics have threatened death to all who oppose Fonzerellism. But my heart isn't afraid to tell the truth.

A-god damnism: my belief that no god named Damn exists.

A-NotButterism: I simply can't bring myself to believe it's not butter.

I hope my coming forward can empower other believers in non-belief to be strong. I am your brother in the faith of faithlessness.

Please present your evidence. And are you talking about the Bugs Bunny of cartoon fame, or any Bugs Bunny? And how could you possibly have evidence that he doesn't exist when I am positive that I have seen him on TV?

Are you saying that 'belief' or 'non-belief' constitute positions not backed up by concrete evidence? Who decides when evidence is concrete? Are there levels of concreteness or is evidence merely concrete or not concrete?

Let me see your proof that Santa doesn't exist.

There are also human creators of the Bible, as well as sketches and drawings of God and Jesus, and artists of those drawings.

My point is that human writers and artists created the stories depicted in the Bible, as well as the images of God, just like with Bugs Bunny.

For a general belief that some type of god exists, yes; but belief in the Christian god is largely dependent on the Bible.

Again, we also have evidence that the Bible was written by men, and the depictions of God were also created by men. Both Bugs Bunny and God have human creators, for both their stories and depictions. How do we know Bugs isn't based on a real person?

"Based on a real person' doesn't make the cartoon somehow real.

But this Atheism Must Be a Belief, would be in the same category as I BELIEVE in gravity.

I don't believe in time travel. Ah, so that is your religion,

It is theists who want to force atheists into the category of religion because somehow that seems to validate their own religious choices.
