is atheism a belief system.
after all the atheist believes there is no god .so if that's the case then an atheist if a person of faith.
they have faith in the fact there is no god.
It's stating that the claims believers make regarding the existence of gods is lacking substantive evidence. NOT a personal belief system.
Yes, evidence is lacking and most of the testimony is anecdotal, subjective and/or hearsay. There is no smoking gun. That doesn't mean a shot wasn't fired.
But unless more substantial evidence is presented, the court rules not guilty of the charge of creating this mess.
lol

If you believe there isn't a god, is this not a belief?
Is this not a conviction, a worldview?
Of course, this doesn't equate the opinion with that of one that believes there is a god. The burden of proof resides on the believer. This also doesn't mean the opposite opinion is any less a position of conviction.
Technically, if all the evidence available is not on the table, neither position can be validated. As regards god, it's a delicate matter.
it's claimed it takes 400 million atoms to become a single strand of dna.

Ecniv, is that you?
if we have faith in science and scientific claims about the universe, origins of life etc.
is that absolute truth.
if so then if they declare that god exists with evidence then do all those who believe in science then believe in god or a creator.

Sometimes you can't help but focus on stuff that irks you. 'Tis only natural.
But the mind is a tool and is in your hands. You "own" it, not vice versa and it can be trained to not run rampant with stuff. As has been mentioned, there are tips and tricks.
One thing that works for me when I can't get to sleep is to think of things done that I enjoyed, or things I'd like to do.
