Let's say I create the Stroggerian religion and we worship the flying fish dragon. Do you think my belief is false?

i don't believe it's false - i just don't share your belief.

Work with me here. I could say the same about atheist belief. The two mean basically the same thing though.

You believe there is no god.
-
not necessarily. atheists don't believe in any god or gods. that's slightly different than believing there are no god or gods.

How is it different?

let's say you believe in the christian god, for example. i don't necessarily believe that your god [b]doesn't[/b] exist, i just don't share your belief in your god - similar to how a buddhist wouldn't share your views.
