Seeing as how all religion is based on faith, it doesn’t matter to them that there is no proof. Funny you bring up Einstein since he was an agnostic who denounced the atheist movement.
I know it doesn’t matter to them and that’s fine. This all stemmed from me asking in a polite manner why they have faith. Asking why would you believe something with no evidence.
Also, thank you for the snarky remark about Einstein. Funny you should bring that up since I prefer to be called agnostic rather than atheist as well. For the same reason as Einstein, mind you. Because the term agnostic refers to more than just disbelief in God. It means “One who does not know” when loosely translated. Einstein preferred it because it embraces the flawed nature of a human mind who will always have things they do not know.
I am agnostic, because technically speaking anything which cannot be disproven is theoretically possible. But just like Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and any other undetectable supernatural thing, I do not entertain the notion of a god because if something cannot be proven or disproven, it is really not worth considering. (That may have come off as harsh. I promise I’m not trying to be an asshole. Just trying to effectively communicate my thoughts. Sorry if it comes off badly)
