Atheism

My original understanding of Atheism focused on several distinctions that I felt acted to characterize basic differences between an atheist and theist. Of these particularities, I honed in upon experiencing life without a God figure present, as well as the importance of being fully aware in the environments we inhabit for the sake of forgoing the jurisdiction of a supreme being. An attempt was made to emphasize this approach by asking the reader to understand that we as individuals exist in a…

Christianity vs. Atheism Religion: Atheist do not have a religion but there was a group that has been started for Atheist so they can practice their somewhat of a religion so nobody can control them when they want. “Atheism is Kaufman’s religion.”, Page 16. As I am a Christian, I study the works of God and what he created for us, and we also believe that Jesus is the Son of God. This religion is also known as Christianity. Language: The language is the same for both groups, unless you are a…

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…

issue of atheism, I believe some framework is necessary. Atheism is typically defined as a lack of belief in God and it is in the definition of God that the issue arises. Clearly, the two philosophers have a different definition of the word God. As hopefully made clear in the second and third paragraph, Spinoza thinks that God is an impersonal summation of all things (i.e. substance), while Berkeley thinks that God is a personal, thinking thing responsible for but distinct from ideas. If atheism…

Atheism is not a disbelief in gods, rather it is a lack of a belief in a deity or god; however some Atheists go beyond a mere disbelief in all gods: they believe some gods in particular don't exist. Atheism is separated into two categories: weak Atheism and strong Atheism. Weak Atheists have a disbelief in the existence of god, while strong Atheists firmly believe that God does not, and can not, exist. A recent survey taken in early 2015 reveals that around the world, Atheists make up 11…

Christianity to be a religion, but do we see Atheism as being a religion in itself? Believe it or not, Atheism and Christianity hold a number of similarities, and the single factor I have chosen to compare between the two is whether or not they hold similar attributes that, according to my views, help make up a religion. Both Christianity and Atheism share the aspects of community, beliefs about God, and fundamentalism. The similarities between these aspects of Atheism and Christianity are…

In The Presumption of Atheism , Michael Scriven argues that when arguments for the existence of God are unable to provide the evidence required to maintain this conclusion (and Scriven believes this to be the case for all such arguments) the only position that one can rationally maintain is atheism. I will first elaborate the salient points of Scriven’s reasoning in arriving at his conclusion and then attempt to challenge some of the assumptions that Scriven makes in the course of his argument,…

Equally tricky is religions counterpart Athe-ism. Unlike religion, which is the belief in one Supreme Being in its simplest terms, atheism would be described as secular, or non-belief. In atheism, one does not to believe what they know, because they already know what they believe. The Archbishop of Canterbury said, “For, rather than seeking to understand so that I can believe, I believe so that I can understand…

New Atheism is a new rising belief system, where people believe that science has taken the place as humanity’s need for religion. I believe that, New Atheism is a group of people angry at God. Through these people’s anger, with God, New Atheist is constantly attacking those who believe in God. They put down the beliefs of God saying that there is no tangible proof. Atheism has taken many different forms over time. One branch, referred to as “New Atheism”, is able to show the World that we do…

next mission was the rebuttals to oppose the existence of God, which brings in the Atheism argument. This argument breaks down the problem of evil from the atheism point of view. The problem of evil is the problem of reconciling the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent and benevolent God with the existence of a world full of evil and suffering (Holt). Omniscient is described as the knowing of everything. Atheism argues that if God knows everything…
