Sir [[Francis Bacon]] wrote: "The Scripture saith, The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God; it is not said, The fool hath thought in his heart; so as he rather saith it, by rote to himself, as that he would have, than that he can thoroughly believe it, or be persuaded of it....It appeareth in nothing more, that atheism is rather in the lip, than in the heart of man." - , his essay ''Of Atheism''<ref>Ibid, p. 107.</ref> It is common for people to doubt that atheists lack a belief in God (see: [[Denials that atheists exist]]).
The Bible talks about strong faith and weak faith. The Bible also declares that Jesus was God and He had tremendous faith and that He was perfect and did not sin.
