Why do I remain an atheist

If I were to take seriously the believers of God’s existence, they must elucidate, not only what they claim to know, but explain exactly how they arrived at their knowledge. If they did not acquire knowledge through their senses, by what other means, if any, did they acquire it? The burden of explanation lies with them. If they uphold their beliefs in the absence of rational grounds, then they are dogmatists, not atheists. We atheists do not care to believe, but we want to know. If explanations are not forthcoming, as an atheist I will remain an atheist proud of the ultimate of freedom: the freedom of thought. Meanwhile, the goal of atheism is to promote precisely that ultimate freedom of honest thinking. Poch Suzara
