20. Are you an atheist?

- - I don’t like the word as a description of what I am. I don’t believe in any of the over 3,000 deities mankind has invented. The main reason being I have no evidence for any of their existence. Obviously, I am inclined to change my mind should the evidence ever presents itself. Although the probability of that happening is next to nil.

I believe non-belief is the logical position in the absence of evidence. 

With regards to the actual word I think Sam Harris puts it perfectly

“In fact, ‘atheism’ is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a “non-astrologer” or a “non-alchemist.” We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.”
