Based on the lack of evidence to support any god beliefs, I am confident gods don't exist, but I could always be convinced differently by evidence.
Same with me, but the second part is pretty much a philosophical technicality. Functionally (as I imagine is true for the vast majority of atheists) it is totally irrelevant.
Interesting.
So, you still refer to it as "belief". Doesn't that get interpreted to "belief on faith"? (Which invariable leads to attempts to shift burden of proof.)
That's where most conversations I have in this realm get to, and it's not the same thing. That's why I much prefer to talk about confidence.
I have to see it as a belief as I don't see how adopting a particular stance on an issue could be considered as anything other than a belief. Some beliefs have a more solid foundation than others, but they are still beliefs.
I believe the sun will rise tomorrow with an enormous degree of certainty, it's still a belief as well as being as close to a scientific fact as possible.
I consider it cognitively impossible to not hold a belief on the existence of god(s) if you can comprehend the words god and exists.
That some people wish to use the ambiguity of the term belief rhetorically for purposes of advocacy doesn't change what I consider the nature of cognition to be.
Saying that, all worldviews/ideologies, whether they be theistic or atheistic in nature do rely on a significant degree of belief in the sense of 'subjective personal preference'.
