That contention is completely false as it has no logical or evidentiary support whatsoever and is instead, based upon irrational faith-based belief. Religious "faith" is neither logical nor rational, neither does "atheism" require any blind faith since logic leads to rational conclusions while illogic, (faith-based religious beliefs), leads to irrational conclusions. Game, set and match.
