I am an atheist because I do not believe in god, not because I think that a god cannot exist. I am an atheist because the burden of proof is on those who claim that a god does exist. If such proof were to exist (and pass scientific scrutiny, not rely on faith), I would believe in a god.

I understand what you're saying, but in reality, the definition of 'atheist' is a lot broader than you are asserting. Simply not having belief in a god to begin with is enough to be an atheist.

An atheist can, but does not necessarily, reject the notion of a higher power inherently.

If there is a god (or gods) then there is a god (or gods), and if there isn’t then there isn’t. There’s no reason to mull over something that has had no bearing on my life and if tomorrow we get irrefutable evidence for either side that’s when I’ll deal with that new reality. In the mean time there are better things to do.

Hugely relatable.
