Yes, you do! Everyone is responsible for what they believe, why they believe it, and what they do with their beliefs! There are people out there who think they don't have to answer for their deeply held beliefs... We call them insane asylum patients. They have deeply held beliefs that they were asked to justify and they either did not or could not.
Quote:
"Faith is not a good reason to believe in any one thing. It's a bad reason to believe in everything. Faith is not synonymous with any one idea; it is synonymous with any strongly held idea, true or not. But one thing faith is not synonymous with is a logically justified idea."

Top 10 Arguments for the Existence of God
10. SHIFTING THE BURDEN OF PROOF:
THEIST:
I know God exists. If you disagree, prove otherwise. Oh you say you can't prove God doesn't exist? That's because you know he does!
ATHEIST:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This is the way the real world and science work. When you say God exists, you are making an extraordinary claim; therefore, the burden of proof is on you to back up your claim.

The New 10 Commandments
What would the 10 Commandments be like if an Atheist wrote them?...
1.) Do not hurt or kill any living person unless that person is threatening your life or limb as well.
2.) Do not hurt or kill any living animal unless presented with a survival scenario, such as hunting for food.
