Atheism is Lack of belif, I don't belive therefore I am an atheist. There are those who have a positive belif that god doesn't exist and they are a group in themselves. Atheism (just the word) means 'without belief' not 'belife in nonextistence'.
As an atheist i don't have a positive belif in god's nonexistence, I simply don't belive at all. Tha'ts what makes me an Atheist.
For a more indepth explenation of what this means i refer you to George H. Smith's book ' Atheism, The case against god'.
Hmm.. Lack of imagination.. I don't know if that is labled flaming but it's verry close in my eyes.
