    Being an atheist is also unfalsifiable. Disbelief in any one God is not unscientific, but disbelief in the possibility of God is, objectively.

    I have confused atheism and anti-theism.

      That is stupid logic. The possibility of a potato controlling everyones’ mind is not zero.

      There is nothing that indicates a god exists, hence no reason to believe it. The scientific way would be to belive it if it was possible to prove, but since it is not and there is nothing to indicate otherwise, atheism.

      Yeah, because you can’t disprove someone not believing in a higher power

      Atheism doesn’t make a positive claim that something does or does not exist, it’s a statement of belief

      Gnostic atheism is akin to a claim there is no higher beings, that I’ll grant
