Thanks for reaching out!

My replies below:

Hey man, being an atheist myself, having mostly atheist friends and family - allow me challange you on a few points:

it’s impossible to be one. Why? Because people don’t know everything about the universe.
========> Verification is impossible. Because of our phanerons and the fact we are totally limited in terms of the empirical data required to be certain.

This point could be valid if you judged all non-empirical-fact-based belief systems to have the same inherit flaw. Including every single type of theism. Man does not know everything but he has every right to have beliefs, even baseless ridiculous ones.
===========> I agree but oftentimes it seems that atheists who hold these beliefs deny it until you corner them with rationale and want to lash out and insult theists.

Also - one may argue that atheism is based, all of the atheists I know have never seen any proof for the kind of God that is described by the various types of theisms, they also have never seen any proof of the giant flying spaghetti monster - so they won't believe that either, even if they stumble on a book which is said to have been written by the spaghetti itself.
======>Yes but if you saw 'God' your phaneron, because of its strengthened memories that get reinforced over time and take over your reality, would possibly lead you to dismiss it. In any case, as reality is in our own heads and an interpretation of a 'possible' material world around us, it essentially could still be in your head even if you allowed it credence.

also making sure they define that higher power within ultra tight parameters to suit their belief system (i.e. ‘fairy in the sky’)

How else could you articles a sentence in which you try to explain what it is that you do not believe in? You have to be specific about what you don't believe.

======>Regarding the spaghetti monster / fairies in the sky - if someone truly believed this, you may consider it insane but again, it would be with your own phaneron. As we are all in our own phaneron, that could very well be a reality in someone else's mind. It could be the real reality of an amazing genius who sees things at a higher resolution than your own if we were indeed observing a separate material world. Otherwise it is not that insane in any case because as before mentioned it's not your reality for you to consider insane but instead the need for your own phaneron to confirm and reinforce its own memories. How can one open up a conversation with a theist by saying they believe in a fairy in the sky or in flying spaghetti monsters in any case? It seems a little condescending and non productive from a conversation basis - to my own possible phaneron (and amazing supermind that can see spaghetti monsters may think otherwise).

In my definition of the term an atheist doesn't need to be believe that there's nothing after death, and no God watching our every step. But rather to not accept the theist view point. I've met very few people that believed with conviction that life is a meaningless mistake and all, but they were in an odd time in their life and it wasn't a perspective they held for long. I believe the technical term for people who hold no conviction for the nature of life and existence (rather than belief in the fatalistic absent of greater powers regardless of their nature) is non-theist. Is that you're point though? That we mistakenly call non-theists - atheists?

========> My point is that we are ALL theists. Because of our phaneron.

And why does the atheist more indoctrinated than the theist?
========> They aren't - but every bit the same - humans should not assume high ground over eachother unless violence is involved and violence is required (this should be a much rarer phenomenon than we see today'

What's multitheism? Do you mean polytheism?

=====> Yes I do mean polytheism? I should have checked - thanks for clarifying that. I have many theories about what 'God' could be.

======> P.S. I have had many discussions with decent atheists around this since I wrote this post. I have also discovered that there are many very broken and traumatised individuals that use atheism as a shield - I suspect this is no different to theists. An opening manoeuvre for conversation.
