i don't believe the toothfairy is real. am i religious now, being an
atoothfairian?

hmmm...if we apply the scientific method to this, and since there is no
observable evidence god does exist...yep, i'd say his is more likely right

jerry, religion makes the claim god exists. atheist just don't believe them
until they provide evidence. it's the logical thing to do. for you making
the claim, it would only be responsible to provide such evidence so that we
needn't go back and forth.
