Sure it does. If you consciously 'lack' or deny something then you have a degree of certainty about it. This certainty is a vague form of 'faith'.

Lack and deny are two different words with two different meanings. You are using them interchangably to make your point but they do not have the same meaning so your position is not accurate. Example: If you 'lack' knowledge that ice is cold then that doesn't mean you 'deny' that it is. You have just never felt ice so you don't know if it's cold or not. Do you see what I mean?


And who says I don't have something worth believing in?

So you do have 'faith'...just not in celestial beings and invisible, imaginary friends. Thats my point; you still have faith in something...and atheism is faith in something, even if that something is nothing.

So are you saying that nothing is something? So if I have nothing in my hand do I really have something in my hand? I'm confused.
