535 people who aren't as stupid or as arrogant as Tyson and Dawkins.
Claiming to know something they couldn't possibly know?
Not unreasonable at all.
That is exactly what religious people are doing. They claim to know something they couldn't possibly know.

I have to disagree with you on this one, these are actually people who dedicated their lives to sience and studied the facts.
Most religious people haven't studied actual facts, but live by what they are taught from birth and follow their religion blind with no questions asked.

God reveals Himself to those who follow Him. They know in their hearts and souls, that is the power behind religious practice. The Holy Spirit indwells the true believer, revealing deeper truths, guiding conscience and providing spiritual gifts.
Science doesn't care what you believe. That is one of the most reassuring qualities it possesses, the inability to be swayed by virtue of mass hysteria.

Atheism is not claiming that there is no god but simply saying that we don't have enough evidence to believe in a god or believe there is no god. The only claim made by atheism is that god is not supported by evidence and therefore should not be believed in, just like unicorns or dragons. I don't believe there are no dragons but I don't believe in dragons. That is how atheists feel about god. Also lack of knowledge does not equal evidence so don't pull that #.
