Clearly it requires more faith not to believe than to believe. The evidence for God is staggering!

You are basing faith only in the existence of God. I have faith that I will get up and go to work in the morning. Does that mean I have more faith that you......maybe. More faith in a God than you.......I doubt it.
It does not require more faith to not believe. You are thinking in biased terms. You feel that we are expelling more energy to resist the God, instead of not acknowledging it at all. If we resist God, then yes, but if we do not acknowledge one, then we are saving more energy than you.

Where is this staggering evidence that you claim exists?
Every time a Christian claims to have evidence of God, their explanation of the evidence is (to me) a clear logical fallacy.
I don't see any evidence for or against a supernatural creator. But I see a lot of evidence that the Hebrew Bible is myth, and no more deserving of belief than the Greek Pantheon. Do you have faith in the existence of Zeus?

Sigh. Atheism requires no faith at all. Faith is believing without evidence, or believing in spite of the evidence -- and that's precisely what atheists do NOT have.

Actually the evidence for not believing in God is staggering. Limited information, and no evidence for a God. Hence really easy not to believe, since it only takes logic.

As a Deist, I believe in a god, but I wish all these Christians who keep shouting about "staggering evidence" would share some of it.

You really think it takes more faith to believe that nothing happens after you die than to believe that an eternity of suffering awaits good people who didn't accept Jesus?
Hmmm...
Perhaps if you had provided some of this staggering evidence I could see where you are coming from.

Faith is believing something with no evidence. Atheists do not have faith, they do not believe in gods. There is no evidence for gods at all. If there were evidence, you would know, you would not need to believe, faith would not come into it.

faith comes by hearing and hearing, by the word of God. I personally don't believe atheists have faith they believe what they see and faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen.

Hatred, sexism and bigotry is not evidence. It requires no faith not to believe, just common sense. There's no evidence of God, there's as much evidence as the Egyptian beliefs as yours. Why don't people take those seriously?

The evidence for gods is non-existent. I should know, I've been asking people to produce it for 40 years and haven't seen a scrap so far.
