Wrong.
Atheism is just not believing in supernatural beings produced by Man’s imagination.
Full-stop.
Atheism has all the hallmarks of a religion.
Not believing in God is just not believing in God. No label needed.
I found this elsewhere, but it is mildly amusing :)
Atheism: The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits that then turned into dinosaurs.
Full Stop.
Silly, isn't it?
Depends if it is militant atheism or merely personal atheism.
Me, I view my and my tribe’s very existence, despite concerted efforts of the entire world (at various times) to destroy us, as proof of the G-d of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.
Indeed, I view the world’s bizarre desire to kill my tribe (for no apparent reason) as proof of the world’s rebellion against G-d, and thus of G-d Himself. The world’s hatred of Israel is so bizarre and nonsensical that it almost must be supernatural.
(These are not the only proofs, of course -— for there can be no “proof” of such things, just feathers on the scale.)
Atheism as practiced is an evangelical religion. The adherents try to convert others to their religious beliefs, mock the beliefs of others, try to establish atheism as the de-facto state religion through the courts.
A religion does not require a god, just a belief system involving a god. Atheism is a belief system around the idea the there is no God.
It is impossible for there to be a religious vacuum. In a sentient being only 3 possible states can exist:
1) A godless worldview
2) A God-centered worldview
2) Not sure
The above is axiomatic.
Each worldview has political, religious, and cultural consequences that are **never** neutral. This to is axiomatic.
More people were killed in the last 100 years in the name of NO God than all of the other religions combined.
Atheism - "not believing in supernatural beings produced by Man's imagination" - killed over 100 million people in the 20th Century. And that's not counting a single abortion.
Fanatical Jihad, the Thugees, the Black Death, Malaria - they are all pikers compared with the single largest source of Democide ever, which is "not believing in supernatural beings produced by Man's imagination"
Atheism is a religious belief that there is no God. There is no way to prove atheism, one must accept it on faith. The existence of God could theoretically be proved, but it can never be disproved.
Okay. Judeo-Christianity is hypothetically vanquished.
Just wait until atheism, with no creed, goes up against islam awash with their theology.
Atheists, homosexuals and other “perverts” might tattoo their throats, “Cut Here”, and only hope that Abdul with his sword is merciful.
