That anyone could possibly know.

if one does not belief in somthing, how can one be deluded?
Easy. If he thinks he knows it doesn't exist.
following that logic, presumably im deluded because i know that there is no leprechaun sitting on a pot of gold at the of a rainbow?

I may have missed a meeting of course, but I have only seen theories and suposition from academics.

Well said, that man. Perfect response.
Incidentally (different subject) just had breakfast at the hotel where I'm staying in Houston. Incredibly fat guy at the next table with incredibly fat wife both stuffing themselves with everything they can lay their hands on at the buffet. Pigs! And of course their child was well on the way to being incredibly fat. There should be a law preventing incredibly fat people having kids.
atheism is the rejection of gods or deities existing. nothing more. if one does not belief in somthing, how can one be deluded?
as for proof, you cannot logically prove something does not exist, so the atheist does not make that case (hence the adverb in "there's probably no god" posters). the burden of proof is on the believers. there is no tangible proof and a massive philisophical/logic problems in most forms of belief (ie existance of evil with a benevolent, omnipotent god). i'd say philisophically "God" in the form provided in the Abrahamic traditions has been well refuted.

You don't know. You only think you know.
Based on the simple fact that as there's no tangible evidence of the existence of any higher authority I think it stands to reason that 'God' is about as believable as Apollo, Zeus or Thor.
I mean, how do you 'know' there's a 'God' ? What proof have you got apart from rhetoric, rumour and myth ?
He doesn't have to though does he ? He accepts that as there's no proof ect then it's a safe bet that there no God.
Come to that, how do you know there is ? Now this is an answer that should be worth hearing.
Stop watching Eastenders!
Actually they do, and not just to sustain their income. Give the far higher death rate they expect a number of the progeny not to reach adulthood. They also need somebody to look after them in their old age. I can guarantee that these people are not Catholics. (Catholics are the only sect that advocates no birth control and in fact a lot of that is based in what has already been said.
There are enough myths about religion without people like you thinking that what suits you suits the rest of the World.
One reason I'm totally opposed to foreign aid and charities that aid the poor overseas. Both only encourage them to breed more.
