Atheism Is Immoral Research Paper

Improved Essays
Believing in the existence of God is often moral and not believing in the existence of God is immoral. Individuals that hold faith in atheism, agnosticism, irreligion or religious skepticism are the most hated groups. Religious groups admit atheism is immoral, however I believe atheism is not immoral. It is okay to be an atheist and not believe in the existence of God, but it is not okay to be an atheist and shame religions, their spirituality, and their values. Just like it is okay to be a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Sikh and etc, but being a homophobic , misogynistic, racist, or person full of hate and blaming it on your faith is not okay. I don’t think a group that believes in God gets to decide what is moral and immoral. Christianity,

    Written in the 1600’s by Cyril Tourneur, The Atheist’s Tragedy delves deep into different components of atheism. Of these components, the issue of life is given much attention. Throughout the play, D’Amville plays a leading role in plotting certain deaths, hence depriving characters of their lives. He is directly responsible for the death of his brother, Montferrers, just as he is indirectly responsible for the death of Borachio. D’Amville, however, is not fascinated by the lack of life; rather he is driven by the gain of it.…

    Michael Collett's thoughtful article "God and the problem of sincere disbelief" must have touched a nerve. Within an hour of it being published on Wednesday, I received a flurry of emails from believing Christians asking me what I thought. Collett and I share in common our religious upbringing. He tells the bitter-sweet tale of his coming to non-belief without rancour. He says that he made an extensive investigation of the evidence and decided that it was not for him.…

    On pages 82-85 of Le Poidevin’s Arguing for Atheism, he makes an argument against Christianity based first on pluralism, and then introducing the problem of autonomy. The main thrust of this argument is: Since there are so many “equally compelling” religions, and most of them cannot coexist ideologically or even practically, why should Christianity be favored? One answer would be relativism, but the Christian, as Le Poidevin describes, cannot easily be relativistic. Le Poidevin then discusses entirely basing morality on whatever God commands. However, he quickly brings up the regressiveness of such a morality, which leads him to doubt that approach as a basis for belief in Christianity.…

Since then, of the United States of America and Under God have been added. The phrase “Under God”, proposed in 1954, was originally meant to differentiate the United States from communist, atheist Soviet Union (USHistory.org).

    Since the fall of mankind from the Garden of Eden people have questioned the existence of God, and today that is still relevant and a highly debated topic. There are two types of people in this world; people who believe in God’s existence and people who do not believe there is an almighty God.

    Thomas Nagel's Atheism

    • 794 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Thomas Nagel defends his atheism by arguing that a universe in which god exists is one that he would not find agreeable. In this paper I will argue that Nagel is right in his observation, a universe in which god is a constant presence limits free will and restricts the complexity of moral philosophy. God, in the case of this essay, is the creator of all things comprehensible to human understanding, therefore this supernatural being is all knowing, just and can do no wrong. The problem with this common religious understanding of god is the limitations that it places upon the free will of all natural beings. Free will, as Mill would describe it, is the ability to choose and actively participate in the formation of one’s own capabilities and…

    Regardless of the object of our faith, there is a sliver within each of our souls that cries out, “I believe; help my unbelief!” in moments of trial or suffering. (Mark 9:24) This doubt is a byproduct of faith and the human condition because faith itself is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) Both articles, “The Blessings of Atheism” and “Saint Manuel Bueno, Martyr,” present the thoughts of individuals who struggle to have faith in god.…
