for the carpetbagging, anti-atheist religionistas in Religion to pretend that atheists "believe in nothing". And then to alert troll and try to lie to juries when anyone points that out.

those are not the same type of beliefs as religious beliefs.

I don't have faith they exist, they are an agenda, policies and laws I wish were followed. They are opinions and views I hold.

This is often used in arguments by believers.

Isn't my belief that my wife loves me the same as believing in God...don't I believe in Obama...and so on.
