The problem is even atheists still feel a need to believe in *something*. Which is silly. Planting Science as your God still means you have a God and are not an atheist.
Sure, atheists do believe in things. For example, I believe that "doing good" is basically "do for others what I would like people to do for me" and that "tit-for-tat with forgiveness" is a good philosophy. No need for anything supernatural. And no, I didn't use game theory as holy scriptures because it would imply that I think that the whole world is a giant prisoner dilemma, which I don't believe is true.
I also believe in science as a method and in Occam razor and that's why I don't believe in god.
See, plenty of beliefs, I fact, science and life itself would probably be impossible without beliefs. But it looks like some religious people have trouble understanding that beliefs don't need to take a form like a god, holy principles or some supernatural energy.
