'Conviction' in reference to religion is defined as 'Strong Belief'.
To 'Believe' is to 'Accept Without Proof'. Having 'Conviction'
is the same thing as having 'Strong Acceptance Without Proof'.
It might toughen your stance with 'God' but it weakens your
stance in thinking. The less you think the more easily influenced
you are by those who would take advantage of your 'Conviction'.
I don't think that Atheists would take advantage of you in this
manner which is why (for the most part) we try to bring reason
into the mix.
