I object to the word "Belief". My atheism isn't a belief, it is a position arrived at by (lack of) evidence.
Ah. I'm not particularly allergic to the term 'belief,' because I don't associate belief with a choice. I don't choose to not be persuaded by god claims, but none the less I do not believe any I've come across are true.

You would be surprised at how rotten skeptics get. Only a sith deals in absolutes, I will do what I must.
Only sith deals in absolutes is, in of itself, an absolute statement and kind of illustrates how blind Jedi are to their own ego within the story.
Also, atheism and skepticism aren't always overlapping. I've met skeptical theists and non-skeptical atheists.

How so? Atheism is the lack of.
To quote myself from another thread:
And as for nihilism, I wouldn't describe myself as one. Taking a purpose from what you suppose is a divine creator about what you suppose they want is no different to me than taking on a purpose from a self-help book. You're just accepting someone's opinion. Even if I believed in a creator I wouldn't automatically accept them as the arbiter of purpose, any more than I accept straws are meant to drink through rather than distribute and move droplets of ink on a page.
Contrary to beliving there is no purpose, I believe there's lots. To discover, to invent, then repurpose.

As is my want, I tend to take it a bit further and say that it isn't so much the lack of evidence, rather it is the less than stellar quality of said evidences. It all amounts to little more than authoritarian claptrap.

All atheists are exactly like me. I am thirsty right now, so all atheists everywhere must be thirsty. Get us some water, please.
Nah. Atheists only drink beer. You must be a pseudo-atheist. :p

All atheists have the characteristics as described in the poll?
Not even close. The only one that applies to all atheists is #1. The rest cannot reasonably or logically be applied to all atheists. If one believed that they did, they would be demonstrating extreme ignorance as to what atheism actually means.
