What is an atheist? Here is some logic you might enjoy. People often don't think deep enough on this one. Most people think atheists are saying they know there is no god. They are not saying that. They are saying they do not believe there is a god. Charles Pierce once said: "all people are in one of three states of mind regarding any issue: belief, disbelief or doubt. And one cannot do anything about it. And they stay in that state until some new evidence comes up to change their state of mind. So atheists are not saying they KNOW there is no god, they are saying they do not believe there is a god. Agnostics are saying they are in a state of doubt. Atheists are not in a state of doubt, but I also not saying they know there is no god. So there are believers, people in doubt (agnostics) and people who do not believe (atheists). I personally believe sentient beings are pervasive throughout the universe and consciousness is a third system in the universe. Alongside organic an inorganic.
