The concept of belief making something exist.....
Just so I don't pull you into agreement by mistake, I offered the thought that God Exists because people believe in Him.
It was amsuing how many people objected to the fact that just because you believe in something doesn't make it real. I thought it was kinda fun!!

I understand what you mean but I didn't mean the existence of a belief system indicated the veracity of the beliefs themselves. I simply meant that the belief of atheism existed because there are atheists.. just as Islam exists because there are muslims, and christianity exists because there are christians.
I didn't mean to verify or falsify anyone's beliefs, but state that those beliefs exist as long as there are people who believe them. For instance, I don't believe there is a god, but my belief alone doesn't prove there is no god. It does, however, prove that atheism exists.
