For ALL faiths (Athiests too)?

Faith is like electricity. Everybody knows what it is, but NOBODY knows WHY it is or how it works.\n\nI accept my faith the same as I accept electricity. I don't need to understand how it works. I just need to know how to flick the switch that turns it on. My Church (Roman Catholic) is the switch I choose to use. Gives me all the light I need to find my way Home.

This depends on what you mean by the term 'faith'. Atheists have beliefs, we just don't believe in a god. Atheism and nihilism are not the same thing! We also have faith in our friends, faith that most people try to be good (even if they fail), and faith that the world can be understood. However, all of these 'faiths' are based on reason, unlike the faith in a deity.

Proof of god is purely personal.  That's why theists say you need faith.  I learned a while ago that it's useless to ask for proof.  You either accept faith as enough reason or don't.

Every religion (not everyone INVOLVED in the religion) teaches that all other beliefs other than their own are wrong.  Do all people take this to heart?  No.  I have met a lot of Christians and others who at least respect the fact that I am an Atheist.  Would they really rather me be their religion, of course.  They just know it's not going to happen any time soon.\n\nAlso, a lot of these people fear difference, and were taught to tell everyone and spread the word of their god.  However, they were never told how, so they feel they need to shove it down our throats or try to scare us by condemning us to their hell thinking it will change our minds.\n\nKeep strong, and ignore all the negative people.  Surround yourself with good people of all religions that respect you for who you are.  Remember though, don't throw all religious people in one pile.  Some are better than others!  Stay strong!  Don't let them get to you!\n\nJust laugh it off.\n\nGood luck!

Well said, and thank you. You might have a point. I'd like to think that one doesn't have to have no faith, to have manners, intellect, and a sense of humor. But If you've ever noticed someone who is deeply religious, they are always trying to convert you, or convince you otherwise. Whereas I've never tried to push my belief on anyone. In fact, If it wasn't for people, mostly coworkers, trying to ask for donations, or just asking me questions about my faith, they would never know that I'm not a religious person. But based on that one principal, now they keep there distance...Goddamn hypocrites!!

Why are you only addressing Atheists in this question?  Don't you think it might be more appropriate to ask everyone?

I like the spirit of your philosophy, but as to the exact wording, it seems backwards to me. Try this: We don't know how, but faith allows us to know that everything is going to work out, somehow. Faith is a way of knowing, we can not know everything, but we can understand almost everything if we know the subject matter. More and more facts are coming to light for us everyday that we live if we live in faith, with one small exception. Death always catches us flatfooted. Unless, we are very old and or very wise and courious, and ready to find out.

no.  everyone believes in something different when it comes to things that cannot be proven (ie monotheism/polytheism).  and you might not want to quote something from someone biased.

None.  Everyone believes in a god.  For some it is the god of humanity for others it is the god of sports, for some it is the Divine Being in heaven.

UGH!  Again, you ask a faith question and you get a bunch of answers from non-believers!  Why do they even bother?  My answer is that the people I am most close to believe and have accepted Jesus and I believe then we will all be saved.  So I will see them again in heaven.\n\nPS Did the chick above me actually say she would b*tch slap God?  That's incredibly mature.  UNBELIEVABLE!!!

LMAO....good question. I guess faith only goes so far before it just turns into plain ignorance.\n\n~SugaSw33t

If somebody wants to believe in God, that's their choice.   I hope you're not trying to impose your atheist views on people.   How about a little tolerance?\n\n.

Many other religions have the same rules. It's all a matter of living together. I don't think any religion is superior or anything. We should all get along and help each other out regardless of faith/non-faith.
