If it WAS a religion, it'd be up against some f*cking stiff competition (Scientology, Christianity...)...

For a person to believe that God exists when it is impossible to prove that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist is irrational because it will always remain possible that the FSM does exist. Christianity is actually the most irrational and illogical religion on the planet.
Fixed.

Round and round the logic goes, where it stops, nobody knows!

Illogical? Illogical?! YOU ARE NOT SPOCK. You're a fundamentalist dumbass that wouldn't know logic if it danced naked in front of him.

Atheism is irrational? Illogical?
Atheism does fulfill any single one of the requirements to be a religion, by the way.

As Richard Dawkins says, most atheists are technically functionally-atheist agnostics.
In other words:
There is no evidence that God exists, so we will act as though God does not exist. If sufficient evidence should come available, then the premise and following actions will be revised.
Also: it is entirely possible to prove that God does not exist - for certain definitions of 'God'. Bible-Yahweh cannot exist, for many different reasons starting with the entire history of the universe. If you want to define God as something that cannot be proven to not exist or not, then by definition God has no measurable effect on the universe and you should act as though God does not exist.
But I suspect that dad4jesus suffers from Morton's Demon and would be selectively blind to what I have just written.

Look up the concept of "conviction to within a reasonable margin of error," then get back to us.
Oh, also look up the concept of "burden of proof" before you get back to us.
And while you're at it, look up the contradictions in the bible which prove that it cannot be taken completely literally, such as the incompatible accounts of the crucifixion in the bible then get back to us.
On second thought, don't get back to us.
