Atheism At Its Peak

Nov 04, 2022

What Is Atheism ?

Generally atheism is a denial of God or of the gods, and if religion is defined in terms of belief in spiritual beings, then atheism is the rejection of all religious belief. 

That’s not as easy a question as you might think. Atheism, on the face of it, seems straightforward: it’s not theism. It’s a belief that there is no God or gods. But it’s slightly more complicated than that because, for most self-identifying atheists, it’s not just that they don’t believe in a God or gods, but that they don’t believe in any kind of supernatural realm. So I think an atheist is, 95% of the time, a naturalist. Atheists believe that whatever may be in the universe, the only kind of stuff is the stuff of physics, and the only fundamental forces are those of physics.

                                      The atomic whirl is the logo of the American Atheists, and has come                                         to be used as a symbol of atheism in general.

Is atheist no religion?

Despite the fact that atheism is not a religion, atheism is protected by many of the same Constitutional rights that protect religion. That, however, does not mean that atheism is itself a religion, only that our sincerely held (lack of) beliefs are protected in the same way as the religious beliefs of others.

Who created atheism?

In early modern times, the first explicit atheist known by name was the German-languaged Danish critic of religion Matthias Knutzen (1646–after 1674), who published three atheist writings in 1674.

Who is the famous Athiest?

Richard Dawkins (1941) Dawkins is the most famous of the “Four Horsemen” of the New Atheist movement, and perhaps the most influential living atheist.

Where do most atheists live?

China boasts the highest population of atheists in the world by a considerable margin. Then again, China has the most people in the world as well.

Do atheists believe afterlife?

Atheists do not accept that there is an afterlife so do not have a future in it to fear. An atheist sees death as a full-stop, so it is the process of dying that matters".

What does the Bible say about atheists?

According to Psalms 14 and 53 the man who says there is no God is corrupt, is a liar, and never does good. It is no surprise that the Apostle Paul cites portions of these psalms in order to make his point that no human is righteous and that none seeks for God (Rom 3:10–12).

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
