It's unfortunate that Atheism is seen as a negative term. It's akin to Non Smoker - it's something people don't do despite the fact that people were Atheists countless aeons before ever they were Theists, just as they were Non Smokers before ever there Smokers. Non Smokers & Atheists breath the good clean air of Cosmic Default without the noxious fumes of cigarettes and religion afflicting our minds and bodies with carcinogens that run very much contrary to the common good.

Atheism is not a matter of exclusive subjective faith, it is a matter of all-inclusive objective reality, one which unites each and every one of us whether one chooses to believe it or not.
