Think about it this way do you believe in fire breathing dragons? If not I could call you an Adragonist. Now imagine if someone came to you and said they really believed in dragons and they lived their life in fear of dragons while you maintained there was zero evidence for the existence of dragons. Suppose you tried to convince this person that there was no evidence dragons existed and they should stop living with the fear of being burnt alive by a dragon because it is a better life to not have that constant fear.
They might think you were being hostile and extreme but you were just asking for evidence for their claim. That Dragonist might try to say that the Adragonists are just like him but there was always a fundamental difference: The Adragonist would believe in dragons if there was evidence for dragons while the Dragonist just believes off of faith alone because it is emotionally important to him that dragons exist.
Is Atheism becoming a 'relgion' in it's self.
