Between 1995 and 2007, following discussions with a close friend who is a devout Catholic, I did not describe myself rather as an atheist but as an atheistically inclined agnostic. On the grounds that I could not absolutely prove the lack of an existence of a God (for all the difference it makes).
In 2008, I reverted to atheism.
To do anything else would be to allow for the existence of an undetectable, untraceable, unlocatable, invisible, untouchable, unhearable (unless you're a politician), unsmellable (if the word exists) being.
It is difficult given the lack of evidence to accept that this "being" exists anywhere, or even allow for it existing, never mind the humanoid attributes and emotions attached to it (an undetectable being with its own human son???? Why not a son who was a gorilla or a moth?).
And then when we die, something called a soul (an undetectable, untraceable, unlocatable, invisible, untouchable usw part of us that cannot be found on an X-Ray, and I had plenty of those, including a brain scan, while in hospital in 2008), goes to some undetectable, untraceable, unlocatable spot called Heaven, or some other undetectable, untraceable, unlocatable place of torture called Hell???? Why not Valhalla or Hades while we are here. They have already been written off, as they are undetectable, untraceable and unlocatable?
I doubt whether any of the folk tales produced by the Grimm Brothers would be more fantastic or unreal than this!
And let us remember that the works of the Grimm Brothers are more up-to-date by over a thousand years than the collection of Jewish, Jewish revisionist or Arabian myths that we are supposed to accept as true about this undetectable, untraceable usw usw being!
Postscript: when you ask believers as to where you can find this "being", they have the habit of answering something along the lines of "look into your heart". Following my heart attack I have every year been for check-ups upon my heart and seen scans that they have taken of it. I have seen no signs of this being on those scans either!!!!
