I've got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices
Empty vessels of dreams so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
And I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
But I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices
Empty vessels of dreams so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
And I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
But I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me

You seem to not understand what an Atheist is. Nor do you seem to understand the basics of logic and burdens of proof and critical thinking. I do not mean to insult you by saying that but you really to take a moment to think.
NO atheist says "I know there is no God". An atheist says "I don't believe in God". Why? Because there is no reason to. No evidence, no proof, no logical reason why a god must exist.
An atheist doesn't say "God doesn't exist" for the same reason he doesn't say "unicorns don't exist" or "leprachauns don't exist". It is impossible to prove a negative. The believer can always say "oh, well, it's invisible, it's mysterious... you just haven't tested in the right way.. you aren't asking the right questions"
The logical, THINKING person says "prove to me that something exists and I will believe in it".... That is why atheists are atheists. Because they ask that question... they require that proof. And there is none for god. Just myths and old books and stories. The burden of proof is on the theists, not the atheists.
You need to adjust your understanding of what an atheist is. It's just someone who only believes in things for which there is a objective REASON to believe. Someone who doesn't take things on faith.
