Yes its a bold statement, but one I can't see a way to weasel around. I have no proof, but I also have no proof that god isn't a small invisible fish that lives in my anus. That was my ridiculous reply in my younger days when someone said to prove god didn't exsist, I'd say prove god isn't a small invisible fish in my anus no one can see. Obviously the flying spaghetti monster has more mass appeal but he is a younger god than my anus fish.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't atheism a type of religion? Mankind is doomed...

If you count anything you can't absolutely prove as a religion than yes, atheism is a religion, but than so is science. Mankind is doomed regardless, so I don't see much we can worry about there.

And yes, I am an atheist as well. However, I chose atheism because I hated being forced to go to church.

I hated being forced to go to Church too, but only AFTER I had my personal relevation. Prior to that I was worried because my parents didn't seem to go enough and I was at Church on my own, on a school day, before class when I figured it all out. I'd be a pretty nervous atheist if a lack of desire to go to Church was my prime motivation.
