Is Atheism faith?

[Bolgo]

Well, the definition of faith,

''complete trust or confidence in someone or something.''
"this restores one's faith in politicians"

Atheism is complete trust in the fact there is no God.

''strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof.''

There is no proof that there is no God, so it requires faith to believe that. Religion is belief in something, so Atheism is a religion.

What do you guys think?

[New Aerios]

If Atheism is a religion, off is a TV channel.

Of course not. Atheism is a lack of faith.

You require faith to be an Atheist, as there is no proof of there being no God. I would consider agnosticism (?) a lack of faith.

Of course not. Atheism is a lack of faith.

You require faith to be an Atheist, as there is no proof of there being no God. I would consider agnosticism (?) a lack of faith.

The null hypothesis dictates that the burden of proof is on the theist to prove the existence of a god. As such atheism is faithless.

To your first claim, that "atheism is complete trust in the fact that there is no God," any glance at what atheists believe quickly reveals the truth. We do not have complete faith in the non-existence of gods. This is a large misconception about us. In fact, most of us do not believe that there is no God. We simply do not believe that there is a God. The burden of proof lies on the people making the claim, and atheists are simply people who decide that that burden has not been met.
Clarification:
Atheism=/=Belief in NO God.
Atheism=No belief in God.

To your second claim, you should've known that atheists do not have a doctrine. Religion is not belief in something, by the way. Is believing in aliens a religion? I responded to the former part of your second comment already.

[Deamonopolis]

Many wannabe Dawkin teenagers are faithful atheists and treat it as if it were some sort of post-monotheist religion, but the heart of atheism is the rejection of the divine. So I would say it's not. Unless you mean fate...

But there is no 100% proof of there being no God. But Atheists believe there is no God. It's a belief without evidence, just like other religions (although some religions have proof of them existing, especially Christianity).

[New Aerios]

But Atheists believe there is no God.

Atheism=/=Belief in NO God.

I always thought agnostics weren't too sure, but that Atheists are sure there is no God...

Agnosticism/Gnosticism is simply the degree of knowledge someone claims to possess.

For example, an agnostic atheist does not believe in a god, but does not claim to know that there is no god. A gnostic atheist claims that they know there is no god. An agnostic theist believes in a god, but does not claim to know that this god exists for certain. A gnostic theist believes in a god and claims to know of its existence.

That's not how the burden of proof works.
Prove the existence of God.
Until that can be done, atheism is the position of "proof not met".

[Atletius]

No, atheism is the direct lack of faith

[Cottesmore]

Of course not. Atheism is a lack of faith.

You require faith to be an Atheist, as there is no proof of there being no God. I would consider agnosticism (?) a lack of faith.

Agnosticism is the belief that we will never know or do not have the evidence to prove if there's a God or not.

No. Atheism is the absence of belief in a deity.

[Cosmopoles]

But there is no 100% proof of there being no God. But Atheists believe there is no God. It's a belief without evidence, just like other religions (although some religions have proof of them existing, especially Christianity).

Ha, no. There is no more proof of a Christian God than there is proof of the existence of Odin or Zeus or Ra or Baal or Vishnu.

Exorcisms, Shroud of Turin, identical manuscripts etc.

Wrong. Identical manuscripts, Shroud of Turin, exorcisms etc.

[Sahrani South]

Well, would you say that NOT collecting stamps is a hobby?

So, obviously, Atheism is the lack of faith.

That's not proof of God, that's you saying things.

You're investing a meaning into an object and going "God, see!"

People used to do that to lightning. Doing it in the modern era where we know what causes lightning doesn't make it any more likely to be correct.

[Lzherusskia]

Let's not start throwing around "obviously" like that.

Personally, I'm atheist and I'd say that it's not a faith. My atheism is at least partly motivated by my complete lack of faith in a deity or deities.

[Conscentia]

Exorcisms are a sham, the Turin shroud was created long after the death of Jesus, and an dusty old manuscript about miasmas does not prove the existence of miasmas - a bunch of manuscripts about god similarly prove nothing.

[Mexar]

It depends on the atheist. If he shrugs his shoulders and says "Meh", it's not. If he starts ranting about it with religious (or anti-religious) zeal, then it is.
