It's hell on earth for anyone other than Christians, yet they still have the nerve to complain that Christians are discriminated against. Same in Texas, it's really annoying.

Incredible, It's 2014 and the percentage of atheists/agnostics in still no more than 14% Wanna believe in the magical man in the Sky? Be my guest, I won't stop you. Try to prohibit anything or call anyone bad for not believing in it and you're going too far

Given our history of religious persecution and superstition (ie the Salem Witch Trials), you'd think that we'd be incredibly religious, but we're not. We're probably one of the least religious places in the US.

And there's still politicians who claim that pregnancy after rape is the victim's fault. Disgusting

I'm fortunate to live in Illinois, it's one of those odd states when it comes to Atheism and Religion where the further north you go the less people give a crap about your beliefs or lack thereof, but the further south you go the more people give a crap and eventually get to a point where you're considered a Satanist even when you explain to them what an Atheist is.

Forgive me if I'm a tad hesitant to believe that.

What we can say is what is most likely to be true. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. There is a small chance it really is an alien from Mars in a duck costume, but the wise man stands by what he sees and knows, and resists any forces of deception.

You have to believe that what you see is true or real to some extent, otherwise you'll be forced into idealism and potentially solipsism.

Yokip has no reason to believe anything different. Consistent results have proven that a duck that's observed is actually a duck and not an alien from Mars in a duck costume. A DNA test would prove that it's a duck, and even if all ducks that have ever existed were aliens from Mars, that is what we'd understand a duck to be. That concept itself doesn't change, even though our understanding of how it relates to Earth would. It would be more inclined to believe that you're an automated program talking to me simply because I know those exist. However, given the tone of your responses, I have no reason to believe that.

Assumptions of a completely different nature. If you want to go down this route, here; Religion assumes that there's some sort of Deity that created the Universe Science assumes that the Universe actually exists Well, now what? You talked about whether things exist and used that to prove that science is based on assumptions, so what's next? Saying that they're both the same because they both make assumptions is like saying Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are the same because they're both written on paper.

Are own awareness is something we know exists this doesn't require belief because we wouldn't be able to ask ourself this question. Awareness and the environment is one thing it goes hand to hand without the environment you have no awareness in the same sense you can't have front without back or you can't have a mirror reflecting an image without an environment, consciousness is like a mirror. So what we see is a bit like a reflection of a mirror making are perception true.
