Even tho you say you have no belief you do. You believe there is no God. (Thats a belief in itself)Belief meaning: To believe in something to be true. To trust in ones self. to trust in ones own judgment. Your belief is all things exist without law,design,or cause-by chance. If believing in oneself is not a belief, then you have no belief in yourselves. So you must believe in what you believe to be true. so therefor, you do have a belief. But i don't care ,and i don't care what you people think of this or that religion. because you all believe, in what you are going to believe in. your all going to debate and keep debating. and no one is going to prove this or that.
As for you christians, what would happen to your belief, if it was found that : Jesus christ wasn't real? Suppose jesus himself, wasn't a real person. Or that in reality he was Lucifer?.
Understand me, i am not saying anything against your beliefs. I am simply asking a question. Do not take it the wrong way.

Atheism is a disbelief, the condition of not believing (in God)

Whoever said we had no beliefs? And believe me, JC, the atheists I know (as well as myself) certainly believe in the law and design of things more readily than most religious people. We don't simply claim that there is some ubiquitous figurehead who created it all. Of course we believe in chance as well. No one expects to be get into a car accident or fall out of a tree. Happenstance is well understood.
This is why I take your question "the wrong way". When you say "you people" it comes across as hostile and demeaning. You presume that atheists believe in no law and if you are trying to make the point that people's truths are pretty solid, this is not the way to do it.

You may wish to hold off asking the question until you figure out how you should ask it.
And belief is not the same thing as religion. And when you claim atheists believe "all things exist without law,design,or cause-by chance" you show a complete lack of understanding of the world around you. Which is just one of the horrific effects of religion.

If it's a belief, then I have BELIEF that there are no unicorns, no monsters, no pixies, no mermaids, no GODS, no dragons, etc.
But really, only positive claims have belief. One being "There is a god". Since there is no evidence for this claim, many people live by the negative claim "There is no god".
"Your belief is all things exist without law,design,or cause-by chance"
- Evolution is a NON-random process. And not all atheists believe in Evolution.

If Jesus wasn't real it wouldn't matter. I have a great life and peace believing what I do and if it all turned out to be wrong in the end, it would've still been worth it. No regrets.
Suppose he was who He said he was though?

Your point is valid, in the limited sense in which you have presented it. But the salient issues are: on what are beliefs based? Is there evidence which supports them, or which refutes them? Can the beliefs be of any use in dealing with the real world?

Wrong question, because wrong definition is made...Atheism is not to disbelief everything, is simply to disbelief in the existence of God...As for Christians, well I'm not Christian, and not an Atheist either...

Look it is simple it isn't reasonable to believe in anything without evidence. A total lack of any evidence means that someone made it up.

i think you just went way over the head of most people here. is your question for atheists or for christians? since the main topic is for atheists but the only questions ara for christians.
my beliefs would be pretty screwed up

You know, when someone says to me "don't take this the wrong way," they're telling me they know they're being insulting, and they don't want to be called on it.
However, you will not get what you want. You will be called on it.
Next time, why not ask people what they think instead of telling them? Riles them up a lot less.
