Honest Atheism?

[steve7150]

According to dictionaries, "to deny" is "to affirm the opposite". So I may affirm that the earth is not millions of years old, without claiming to know that my affirmation is true.



OK Paidion , Dictionary.com says to affirm means "to maintain as true" which i'll concede leaves open the possibility of asserting by opinion not definitive knowledge.
Therefore considering this definition and that Paul said that the devil blinds the minds of unbelievers i think an honest atheist is possible. However i think that they generally have little interest in seeking God.
