Atheism is simply the opposite of theism. The prefix A means \"without\" or \"not\", so Atheism is simply a lack of belief in god(s). It is not a religion, just like theism is not a religion. Atheists are usually quite fond of life, since it is the only one we have.Theists if you think about it, need a god to make their existance make sense and to make them respect life. <\/p>\n
That dog is an atheist. A new-born baby is an atheist. Most of the smartest people in the world are atheists. Coincidence? <\/p>\n
Besides, just by being intolerant and judgemental of Atheists, you are sinning. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
\" 'To be godless is probably the first step towards innocence,' he said, 'to lose the sense of sin and subordination, the false grief for things supposed to be lost.' 'So by innocence you mean not an absense of experience, but an absense of illusions.' 'An absense of need for illusions,' he said. 'A love of and respect for what is right before your eyes.' \" -Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat. <\/p>\n
Weak atheism is essentially the same as agnosticism]. It states that since we have no proof of a God, we cannot know for sure that one exists. Strong atheism states that since we live in a scientific world where the existence of things is determined solely by their observability, we cannot assume anything unobservable to exist. God isnt observable, therefore he doesnt exist (cf. Occams Razor). This doesn't mean that an atheist wouldn't WANT to believe in God, it merely means that he has no REASON to believe in it\/him. <\/p>\n
Strong atheists often question the special treatment weak atheists and theists give to religion. If they believe that the tooth fairy or Santa Claus do not exist, why are they willing to give God a benefit of the doubt? <\/p>\n
Strong atheism is often equated with religion since it takes a strong stance on the issue. This is, however, fallacious. Religion is not based on rationality, and strong atheists value rationality over fantasy. Therefore atheism is not parallel with religion. <\/p>\n
I do not follow atheism. I merely concur with it. <\/p>\n
Atheism Benefits: - Free on Sunday! - Get to focus on the now. - No guilt! - Can claim full responsibility for life's achievments. Drawbacks: - No afterlife. \ud83d\ude41 - Must take responsibility for life's failures. Dang! <\/p>\n
A lack of beleif in God. <\/p>\n
\"I am an atheist because I do not beleive any gods exist. That's all that makes me an atheist.\" <\/p>\n
Atheism doesn't hold any answers to life's big questions. It won't tell you the meaning of life and it won't tell you how it all started. It's not a religion, not a philosophy, not a way of life. Atheism is quite simply *non-belief*. <\/p>\n
Atheism isn't about answers. It's not really about anything, actually. <\/p>\n
Common sense. Some one who doesnt believe in magic or propaganda, is backed up by science and logic, and figures that god doesnt do have the shit he tells us to do. <\/p>\n
(God starts holocaust) <\/p>\n
