In the case of god most atheist use rule of elimination. No sceintific proof for god has been discovered so until then the idea of a god being the ruler is ruled out by us and replaced with nature.

It's still something. By not believing in anything, I meant that they don't believe in a God or Gods or Goddess ext.

And you're totally right about the set of beliefs, I hope my post didn't come across like that. Being a Satanist, I don't really believe or care about whether or not there is a higher power or deity. Instead, Satanists usually abide by the same or similar codes or morals and such. Though they're not always the same, they vary from person to person (which is why I love it. lol)

So anyway. I pretty much agree with everything you said, just was awful at clarifying what I meant. I was hardly paying attention lol
No it's all good. We all can't describe things how we feel them, especially on the internet

Sorry if I came off like I was mad at you because I wasn't. I knew what you meant when you said atheist believe in nothing meant god I just wanted to correct that because others who might not be up to date on the subject or are just idiots (offending as it may seem) take that in a literal meaning which I can get pissy about.
