Atheism is the absence of belief in the existence of gods. You don't have to believe gods don't exist to be an atheist. The word literally means "not theist".
What would be the origins of and the purpose of and the meaning of and the reason for the existence of this god in the first place? Obviously "being worthy" isn't a logical and rational explanation...
And why would there be a god instead of no god, existence instead of no existence?
Which is logically impossible since god would have to exist in the first place to be the origin of anything.
What does this mean? Please restate.

Yes. Why would God exist? "What would be the origins of and the purpose of and the meaning of and the reason for its existence?"
What? If he was the only worthy of existence you and I wouldn't exist...
Which of course is logically impossible. To be a source of anything you must first exist. So again I ask: "What would be the origins of and the purpose of and the meaning of and the reason for its existence?"

That's no middle ground. You can have both agnostic theists and agnostic strong atheists.
Except that there are agnostic theists and agnostic strong atheists.
I can't follow your reasoning in these sentences please rewrite.
In a previous post you wrote and I quote: "I do not care what the Bible says. The Bible was not written by a Manifestation of God, it was written by men who wrote whatever they felt like writing."
Then you write: "We have what others claimed they taught, and that is good enough for me, in the...
I might have missed that post. Who was making the claim that most atheists lack belief? All atheists lack belief. I would like to correct the individual.
You said and I quote: "I've never been offering a preferred definition". So voting for atheism being a belief in the poll is not the same as offering a preferred definition? OK.
I do focus on what you say. For example you said you didn't have a preferred definition but voted for atheism being a belief in the poll.
The meaning of this sentence is unclear. Are you of the opinion that disbelief and lack of belief are two different opinions? 1. Lack of belief is a synonym...
So you are telling us that most of the minority of people who actually care about this kind of thing don't know what atheism is?
