I'm an atheist toward god in the same way that I am an atheist toward Santa Claus. I've never seen either, and there's nothing to support the existence of either except for books written by dead people. I am confident that Santa Claus does not exist.
Now, I can't absolutely disprove the existence of Santa Claus, he could very well be hiding out under some glacier where I can't find him. My atheism is not fanatical because if Santa Claus were to show up I would certainly accept that he exists. Until that time, I will not act in a way that accepts Santa Claus exists, and I will treat people who believe that Santa Claus exists as the children they are.
Is there any firmer basis to believe in god than in Santa Claus?
