Atheism starts with an illogical premise

What if you were like okay, God could totally exist but most religions just sound really really ridiculous and it is probably safe to assume they are all wrong.

What about that?

You'd think it would be quite an easy concept to grasp

Atheism/Theism - What you believe
Agnosticism/Gnosticism - What you know.

It's obvious that Theists are gnostic, how else could you conjure up something so rediculous without having evidence?

Then again, quantam theory seems rediculous, and you can't see it with your eyes (in fact observation effects results) but at least there's experimentation and demonstration.

Lack: Without or not having enough of something.
Without belief Santa or tooth fairies exist.

Lack of belief in god:
Without belief god exists.

I'm without belief god exists because there is no evidence of its existence,
I do not say, "no god exists",
I say, "there is no evidence thus I'm without belief"
I acknowledge possibility of god's existence, but I'm without belief.

Analysis:
A Jew is not a Christian because they are without belief in Christianity, a Jew is an atheist.
Other atheists take on the same position to all religions and the belief a deity exists.

We say, "I don't believe in one god more than you",
because you are without belief all other gods exist and we are without belief any god exists.

You - (minus) belief in 9,999 gods existing.
Me - (minus) belief in 10,000 gods existing.
