Nothing.
Everyone has their beliefs or non-beliefs and there is not anything wrong with that. |

I don't know yet, but I will keep looking. People say that Christians are good at finding faults. (Just kidding)

Atheism is based on the same fallacy as theism - the objectification of "God" as a thing such that one can talk about whether this imagined thing does or does not exist.

As an atheist I think it's mostly irrelevant and pretty empty. It's such a small position in comparison to humanism for instance. I can't think of any promising movement where atheism is a prerequisite.

I don't recognise that fallacy. If you believe in a benevolent creator entity and want to call that agent "God", fire away I say (and also contradict it if you see fit). What's the problem?

This is a false statement.

Atheism is defined in response to theism. "Theists" posit a thing they call "God" which they believe exists. "Atheists" don't believe this thing so posited exists. There is nothing false about the statement. If it makes you feel better, the initial mistake is that of theists imagining "God" as a thing in the first place, which sets the boundaries of the dispute.
