Want to start a fight among atheists? Ask them to state what they believe without using the word "God." They have no trouble telling the world what they don't believe--they have enormous difficulty articulating what they DO believe.

I'll be glad to answer you. What specifically are you asking about my beliefs as an atheist? I'll to answer as best I can. If you are pointing out that the main tenet of atheism is a rejection of the belief of God, then you are correct that it is hard to describe atheism without including God in the explanation. That's not surprising - since a belief in God is clearly the default belief for the majority of people, people who don't share this belief would have to have a term to describe themselves.

I still don't understand how this would "start a fight among atheists." What would the fight be over?

Wow. Believing in God is for the thoughtless?
