La pregunta para ateos., (question for atheists) Options

[radhikaeatsraman]

'Kay, so this is how people (usually) come to find atheism. (In a nutshell.) They question their belief in their god and their religion, they do a little research, badabing badaboom, they're nonbelievers. (Yes, I know I'm being horribly inaccurate here, but just go with me.)

As an atheist being raised in a fairly religious family, I find myself questioning my atheism sometimes, the same way a believer may question their faith. I know that atheism is not a faith, but sometimes I wonder if faith could be right and atheism could be wrong.

Discuss? Feel free to move this to Debate if you like.

haha, Yen. Yes, Sammi says correctly, I am a girl.

And Nate, that was an excellent article. I still have no clue what people mean by epistemological. I know the definition, but can someone try and put it in a language that a thirteen year-old can understand?
