And it's also inaccurate insofar as it talks of atheists. It is not the case that atheists actively "believe there is no God". Instead, they simply lack a belief about God, much the same as they lack a belief about pixies.
THAAAAAANK YOU!!!
Sometimes it's hard to even ascribe the word 'atheist' to myself because the term itself implies active denial of the existence of god. While I do, on occasion, actively deny the existence of god, 99% of the time I simply don't even think about it. In fact, I might actually spend more time cogitating pixies.
