You do realise that is the basis of the Rosicrucians beliefs?
I suggest you go and look them up.
Atheists do not believe in God. End of story. I actually never realised what a cult Atheism is in the US. It is not Atheism at all, it is a religion.

Much the same as you.
YOU dont believe in thousands of different gods that humans have invented.
Whats the problem with just one more?
Ask yourself why you dont believe in Quetzalcoatl at all.
Thats your answer.

I don't chose to be an Atheist... I'm an Atheist by default because I believe claims should only be made when there's enough evidence to demand a claim.
I cannot make a claim for an existence of something that has no evidence to support it... I therefore, by default, do not believe in a gods existence.
Religion has had thousands of years to provide evidence for their primary claim, their gods existence. (And that their god is the only one).
If you demand such evidence, they quote the book that made the claim. You can't quote the claim as its own evidence. Failing that, they claim you have to have "faith" that it's true.
Let me make this abundantly clear.
Truth cannot require faith, it requires the exact opposite.
When someone demands you have "faith" in their claim, they are demanding you ignore all evidence that proves they're wrong.
I simply claim that they haven't supported their claim, the evidence for my claim is that they have not provided evidence to support their claim, hence, their claim is unsupported.
I'm willing to turn a blind eye to all the sub-claims... noah's ark, the 6 day creation of earth, the idea that man was created exactly as it is now. I look away from these topics because most religious followers have already abandoned these claims themselves, and now state they're lose stories, and fables of morality.
It's their last and only remaining claim that is under the scope now.
The claim that their god exists.
Until evidence can be provided to support their claim, I cannot believe in their claim.
It's been thousands of years, they've been desperately scratching at everything to find that evidence... I'm not holding my breath.
As far as it goes for the hopes of converting me : Time's Up.
