If atheists believe nothing, how come they have to much to say about it?

Update:

According to an atheist:

"...atheism is the default belief. We start out believing nothing and then find evidence to support beliefs. . ."

    I'm not an atheist because a lot of them say "we" like they are some kind of community or all have the same values, it's rubbish.

    However I am not any other religion, my beliefs change from time to time.

    What I do believe as a not specifically religious person.

    • Going to church can be uplifting and

    is a good, understandable thing to do

    • People should just do, encourage,

    say the right thing

    • Treat others how you'd like to be

    treated, unless it's something you

    absolutely would not do yourself.

    Just a few things that I know I should follow.

    Not believing in a supernatural creature doesn't = believe in nothing. That's a false arguement

    Atheists believe in all sorts of things. There's a fair chance that the only thing that you believe in that none of them does is a god.

    It isn't as the idiot Fireball suggests. Nor is it correct to state what you did, it is patently untrue.

    Because we do not pretend god doesn't mean we are not interested and interesting.

    You lose by closing your mind. Like Fireball, no real information can get past the filter, nothing real is allowed ever.

    I believe in plenty of things. Just not the mystical sky fairy that you so desperately want me to believe in, too, in order to validate your decision to abandon rationality in favor of superstition and mythology.

    Atheists believe in as much as any theistic belief.. They just put in a supposed intellectual wrap..

    Atheists don't believe in any gods and, if gods are pushed on them, will tell you why they don't buy the story.

    It's not "belief in nothing."

    A lie requires many more words than the simple truth.

    actually atheists only have a lot to say about atheism because people are always asking them about it!
