Yep, if Atheism is just "non-belief" then why are there Atheist "Preachers" like Sam Harris?
Belief or Religion is nothing more than embraced ideology, preaching, and conforming behaviors. Atheism has it just like religion which is why we state Atheism is also a "Religion".
The other problem with Atheist judgments of religion is they falsely assume that religious understanding "is not" gained by RATIONAL Thought and Investigation, a.k.a. the Scientific Method. It 100% absolutely IS gained through rational exploration and understanding.
What he mistakes is that man is imperfect and thus can embrace imperfect or false ideas and practices in that pursuit, i.e. the why there are so many different religions all contradictory from each other. That is not to say there are not core true principles that are being embraced, as well that there can't be a "true religion". I know this because I grew up in many different religions and no religion, found one, the only one that made any sense by what the Bible actually said compared to what all the various religions were saying it said, as well I embraced it because it matched other things that should make a true religion, though I didn't know 100% whether it was "true" or not, just that it was the only one that made sense.
I then became Atheist and anti-religion due to a couple of issues I developed with that religion, things I thought were wrong due to my social convention upbringing, as well because I got big into Eastern Philosophy and practices Martial Arts, Meditation etc., . Turns out I was simply ignorant of the issues in question I just accepted them at face value not studying them enough just like Atheists do toward religion. I then compared what their scholars said about various subjects and what the anti's of the religion (or religions) said about the same subjects and I discovered the anti's (atheist or religious) were doing nothing more than lying, using a little truth/facts to lie about the subject or person. I THEN became a 100% and forever a full believer (unless something utterly demonstrates it false, a.k.a. more evidence, though I've thoroughly studied everything by all sides that currently exists, so it would have to be completely new and utterly and clearly daming) despite the imperfections of men, such as kicking my son off his mission due to a blackmailer he interacted with for 1 hour on Facebook, so "he" didn't do anything wrong other than a small mistake in that he wasn't supposed to accept Friend Requests from people he didn't know, or our Bishops not allowing me to live with my family when we weren't married anymore so I could raise my children and heal myself, and we weren't in a relationship. (a relationship is required to be actually against church policy).
Anyway, my point is simply that I came to know the religion I'm in is "True" and I believe in it BECAUSE I studied and experienced it, other religions, and what anti's say about it deeply. Atheist judgments from experience and observation is simply that they are utterly IGNORANT of religion, so they judge it on the surface falsely claiming "superior knowledge" over the religious. The actual truth is it's the religious that have the "superior knowledge" due entirely due to their study and experience of it, not ignorant belief. I'm of course speaking in general, not that there aren't incredibly ignorant religious and religions, there certainly are.
There's a saying in my religion, Faith is the EVIDENCE of things not seen which are True. "Blind Faith" is a false idea held by Atheists toward religion that they think the religious live by and believe and also an idea believed by some religious. However, Faith is NOT "blind". Faith is about seeing what most don't see, the evidence most don't see and THEN believing.
