Atheism is the accepted definition of one who believes that God does not exist, or for you purists, has no belief in anything spiritual. When you call yourself an athiest you define yourself. A definition could/would be considered an answer to a question..."what is an athiest?"......the answer is the definition of an atheist.........So, once again, proclaiming that you are an athiest would be defining yourself as one who has no beliefs in any God or that damn purple llama or whatever. And in my most absoulutely meaningless opinion, atheism is the easiest answer to the most difficult questions.
I have found that most of the atheists that I have met (a roommate in college proclaimed to be one) generally consider themselves to be intellectuals (elitists) and consider any arguments other than what they think as absurd (see previous posts) and discount any opinions other than their own as "not very well thought out" or "the blind leading the blind" or "cliche after cliche"
Once again, what I believe is really important......to me. What you believe is not really important.....to me.
As for "cogito ergo sum".....just because you do and are, don't mean that you am to me....or something like that.
Believing in God is not wrong....but telling someone that they shouldn't is. As for atheism....."caveat emptor"......
