is Atheism the Least Rational of All Choices?

Is it irrational to not bother believing in any gods? Many theists think so, but what is the quality of their arguments on behalf of this position? I've never found any arguments for this position that have had any real substance. Usually they begin with a false definition of atheism and then just get worse from that point.

how about you? whats your opinion?

it is the most rational and logical of all choices. if it is the most irrational then most of the modern scientist which are the most rational people in our society will all be a theist.

Then how come there are a lot of scientist that remains a theist. It makes your logic completely irrational.

Can you elaborate what exactly is this false definition that you are referring to?

I don't know why would someone make such a claim on who is the most rational and who's the least rational when it's too broad.

true, theism based on faith not on science.

So are you saying that atheism is based on science and is scientific?

Once again making such claim on who's rational and who's not is so much of an arrogance.
