-Contrary to popular belief, an atheist does
not (necessarily) believe that
god does not exist, an atheist simply lacks a belief in
god. It is a subtle but important distinction
.
+Whether or
not god exists depends entirely on how
god is defined
. It is always possible to define god such that everyone would agree it exists (e.g. god is the universe).
+
+Since the dawn of time, humans have believed in tens of thousands of different gods and goddesses. The [Encyclopedia Mythica | http://www.pantheon.org/mythica.html] describes over 6000. The evidence strongly suggests that all of them are fictional, in that they exist only in [memetic] form
.
