I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

    No. Agnostic is not going either way. Atheism is a faith, because you deny the existence of a god without proof, just as theists claim its existence without proof.

      I strongly disagree. Atheism is explicit lack of faith.

      For all practical purposes, an atheist thinks that without evidence, it’s safe to assume that there’s no god or gods.

      Would you say that you’re genuinely completely agnostic in relation to every single religion that has ever existed, even the joke religions (like the flying spaghetti monster, etc)?
