| | Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Additionally, many atheists are not entirely irreligious; there are atheists who are religious or spiritual despite their lack of belief in gods. | | | However, atheists have countered that the existence of unethical people who have a certain belief system (or a lack of a certain belief system) does not in itself indicate that the belief system itself is unethical; otherwise, Adolf Hitler's Christian beliefs, for example, might incriminate all of Christianity. | | | Some weak atheists feel that theism and strong atheism are equally untenable, on the grounds that faith is required both to assert and to deny the existence of deities, and as such both theism and strong atheism have the burden of proof placed on them to prove that a god does or doesn't exist. |

| | Atheism is illogical |
| | Atheists often charge that theism is a crutch because people are motivated to believe in God because that belief gives meaning, hope, and order to their world. | | | Alvin Plantinga correctly argues that the atheist does not treat the statements "God exists" and "God does not exist" in the same manner.5 The atheist assumes that if one has no evidence for God's existence, then one is obligated to believe that God does not exist whether or not one has evidence against God's existence. | | | If you succeed in showing an atheist the natural outcome of some of his (or her) main claims and arguments, you are in a much better position to share the gospel with him. |

| | ATHEISM: |
| | The number of Atheists exceeds the number of followers of all of the organized religions in the U.S., except for Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism. | | | Most Atheists have analyzed the available material evidence for the existence of one or more deities (gods and/or goddesses) and have concluded that there is no real evidence of the existence of gods or goddesses. | | | Other Atheists are people who have simply never been exposed to belief in a deity or deities and therefore have no belief in them. |

| | The Atheism Web: Introduction to Atheism |
| | Many atheists feel that the idea of God as presented by the major religions is essentially self-contradictory, and that it is logically impossible that such a God could exist. | | | Some atheists go beyond a mere absence of belief in gods: they actively believe that particular gods, or all gods, do not exist. | | | About all you can say for sure is that atheists don't believe in God. |

| | On the other hand, pantheism, while destroying the extra-mundane character of God, does not necessarily deny the existence of a supreme entity, but rather affirms such as the sum of all existence and the cause of all phenomena whether of thought or of matter. | | | Even Bion, who, according to Diogenes Laertius (Life of Aristippus, XIII, Bohn's tr.), adopted the scandalous moral teaching of the atheist Theodorus, turned again to the gods whom he had insulted, and when he came to die demonstrated in practice what he had denied in theory. | | | In the eighteenth century, and especially in France, the doctrines of materialsim were spread broadcast by the Encyclopedists. |

| | Atheism |
| | But most people who consider themselves atheists probably mean that they do not believe in the existence of the local god. | | | Some atheists may know of many gods and reject belief in the existence of all of them. | | | Finally, atheists do not deny that people have ‘mystical’ or ‘religious’ experiences, where one feels God’s presence or a sense of the oneness and significance of everything in the universe. |

| | Why Atheism? |
| | All it takes to be an educated Atheist is understanding rational logic and what scientific evidence is, not unquestioning faith or beliefs. | | | In fact, the existence of honest and kind Atheists is another proof that the Christian god, who demands belief, doesn’t exist. | | | There is no need for a god in order to explain the Universe, or reliable evidence to show that any god or gods exist. |
