Atheism is not a belief, so why would anyone lie that it is?

[Willamena]

That'd be subjective truth, then.

Edit: No, just relative.

And objective.

 

[lukethethird]

Each of us.

We have privileged information to know what truth is?

How does that work?

 

[Willamena]

Darned tootin'.

We have privileged information to know what truth is?

How does that work?

We have individual information to know what truth is.

You'd have to explain the privilege.

Not believing in Nessie is a doctrine.

I am dubious.

doctrine
noun

1. a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.

So no then.

So, why then?

Obviously because not believing in one thing, like the example of Nessie that you gave as doctrine, is clearly not doctrine, look at the definition of doctrine I quoted.
