"I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time." -- Isaac Asimov, "Free Inquiry", Spring 1982, vol.2 no.2, p.9

i will add what asimov either has said elsewhere or assumes we already understand: that it is not the atheist's job to disprove any god's existence, not least because you cannot disprove someone's existence but also not least (maybe even more importantly) because there are so many gods whose existence cries out for disproving that it would take a lifetime to get through half of them even if you found a way to do it, and since there are no gods, this is the only lifetime each of us has got. what a stupid way to spend it!
