@reasoning logic,
And the biggest Gateway that atheism has, is its own thinking...
If people were to claim what they are, such as a skeptic, questioner, doubfullist etc...
No body would care of question them, only people who were on the opposite side...
That also tells me, that atheism is not a rejection, but a belief, like I have said numerous times...
Once you claim you have a rejection of something that is not real, you automatically open the gate or door to people who believe in a God...
Just like people who believe in a God, open the gate or door to people who say I do not believe Gods exist...
And since, people who have a rejection of a belief, do the same...(most times)
I happen to believe, atheism is still a belief...Not any kind of a rejection of a belief...
