Atheism is as closed minded as any religion. By ruling out even the possibility of there being a God, gods, higher power, or whatever you've closed your mind off to soo much. I'm not going to say I back any religion in particular, but it seems to me to be so intent on believing there is nothing, it takes as much faith as those you accuse who believe in something. I could understand being an atheist and just living your life with an absence, but what is the point of going around preaching it like it's become a religion of its own. It seems like a waste too, being the ultimate lose-lose situation. If you're right, you won't conclusively find out until you're dead, in which case there's nothing and you've won no big prize for you belief, and if you're wrong you're going to hell. But, believe what you want, I'm not trying to push any particular religion, I'm just giving my opinion on it.
