Why atheists and agnostics come to this forum?

Well you have more faith in your own ability to discern truth (and knowledge) than I do so good luck to you - but perhaps you are still more likely to take the words of others, even and especially from the past, than I am ever likely to do.

Indeed. The Principle Basis for Faith? Is Authority Figures, is it not? Since there is zero way to test faith claims beforehand? You first must have Faith in some Authority or other.

I find I'm too much of a curmudgeon to be that trusting.

Tarkin: "You're too trusting"

Nope. Not for anyone Paying Attention. I'm happy-- and I'm without faith. I have hope-- again, without faith.

So nope.

To not believe in life is asinine. Aswell, dont deal in absolutes.
