131. Something implied is different than
something asserted.

"Atheism is the lack of belief in gods, motivated by the conclusion that there is no credible evidence for them"

Common sense tells me that if you lack belief in the existence of something, you are IMPLYING that the thing you do not believe in doesn't exist.

Regardless, if the statement you posted earlier read as follows, I would agree with you.

"Atheism is the lack of belief in Religion, motivated by the conclusion that there is no credible evidence to support Religion's claims"

I remain open to the possibility that the universe was created somehow by something that we do not understand.
