I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist

Thanks to johntfiorito and Martini for the suggestion.

Another common method of trying to use religion against the non-religious. "Being an atheist takes as much faith as being a theist", or the less aggressive version: "Atheism is a belief too", which sometimes dwindles down to: "Atheism is not lack of belief in God, it is the belief that God doesn't exist."
