It's the active rejection of the god claim. Rejection doesn't mean claiming it's false, rejection means I'm not convinced it's true.

Much in the same way the court system doesn't prove you innocent, it proves you not guilty.

Adios.

I watched that interview.

I know everyone will sigh because of Trump fatigue but a Giuliani not only looks like an idiot to anyone who can think but he’s also saying some of the most foul **** to ever come out of Trumpland. He is truly a twisted ****.

If theism is the one introducing the notion of god(s) into the mix, isn't atheism based on rejection?

Not if you consider theism a fable from the get go.

Definition of theism
: belief in the existence of a god or gods; specifically : belief in the existence of one God viewed as the creative source of the human race and the world who transcends yet is immanent in the world

Fairy tales man.

Funny that I'm totally immersed in Gaimen's American Gods right now.

Give it up guys.

Ignoring it as vapor. Give it up Frown Boy. I don't have to reject vapor. Maybe you do. I don't. You are so missing the point. Thought you were smarter than this. Or maybe, you put your smarts in the closet just so you can try to chap my ass in a debate?

Get a real life mate.

This is what I'm getting at. Atheism can be used as a descriptive term, but self-identified atheism requires a knowledge of religion and/or god(s).
