There is no more tangible evidence proving GOD does not exist than there is evidence proving HE does. To believe in what has no tangible evidence requires a certain trust. In fact, a certain faith. All the more, to believe that evidence which cannot be seen disproves the existance of a GOD that cannot be seen requires a strong faith.
To promote the "good news" that GOD does not exist, based on evidence which is intangible requires conviction. To promote this "good news" despite the ridicule of those who belive in GOD demands a fervant conviction.
To hold firm to the faith in intangible evidence knowing there is no eternal reward requires loyalty and determination. Loyalty to teachings with no supporting tangible evidence. Determination to hold to nonexisting evidence despite the lack of any reward.
To be pursuaded to do good in this life for a reward only in this life, believing in no after-life, is to make a covenant with one's self.
Thus, is not atheism a faith in itself?
