> Except that faith requires us to continue believing in things we have really accepted. It’s actually quite easy to get by without faith, but a hot-blooded atheist has more than most people. Those without faith are really quite wishy-washy creatures, unable to make up their minds. It’s not that they don’t believe in God, but that their belief is completely contingent on the moment.

I don’t see how my lack of faith in Jesus is any different than your lack of faith in Allah. We both have Gods we don’t believe in.
