Atheism is a cop-out.

I think Atheists tend to fall into two categories: first there are those rebelling against their religious parents, and secondly those that don't like the idea of having to answer for their behaviour.
I found God through science, not by what it was telling us, but by what it wasn't. When I talk of God, I'm not talking of some coping mechanism, I'm talking of direct experience of deity and a very real conciousness.

I take offence at the assumption I am a religious type, I clearly said athiest and religious types both fall in the same category.
Both make claims about something they do not know and can't know. One may be right but there is no way of knowing.
Quite simple really.
No, you are not right.

Do you honestly not get it? Thre is only the one claim am I right?
Guess not.
The claim that there is no god.
As opposed to the claim there is a god.
Both claims are jumping to conclusions.
