Atheism is the belief in the lack of a God.

There is no God. Therefore it is Atheism.

It is also every 'religion' and every truth. Which is nothing.

/sigh. Your such a tool. Yes there not being a god is one definition of being atheist.

However, that is only because it fits into the REAL description which is the LACK of a belief in God. It means we have no evidence for God, so we do not believe in its existence.

Atheism is NOT a belief. People who are atheists can have beliefs but to be atheist is not to inherently disbelieve in God existing, it means not having a belief in such a god.

You can be agnostic and be an atheist. Most atheists are agnostic, however they don't say agnostic because agnostic sounds like you believe that there ARE things but you don't know what they are, vs. Atheism which means you don't have a belief in things, and it could very well be that there are no things spiritual.

Atheism is like the most stupid invention ever.

Atheist: "Hello, I'm an atheist, my view on life is that I don't believe in God".... em, that makes your view of life revolve around Gods existence doesn't it.

He could as well have said:
"Hello, my view on life is that I don't believe in a flying spaghetti monster".

If you don't believe in God why mention God? What the hell

I don't believe in a flying spaghetti monster, but im not gonna invent some stupid label for it.

I never say hello i'm an Atheist...your a moron.

And no, an atheists view of life is not ABOUT god not existing, its a view WITHOUT god existing.

I wasn't talking about you, just atheists in general. I didn't know you were an atheist and my apologies if I offended your view on life, but I really think its completely useless. You don't see me going around claiming I don't believe in the flying spaghetti monster. I don't understand why you would want to go around and talk about something you don't believe in.

Again, thats not how it works, your a moron.

Everyone is searching for the truth, except unlike certain theists, we don't restrict ourselves to staying in our little bubble of reality. Atheists explore everything because we want to know what the truth is. We aren't tools who believe in one thing and only one thing.

And no atheist introduces theirself as athiest. We only say athiest because people ask you "what religion are you." So instead of saying, none, we say atheists, so they don't instantly try to convert us.

Outside of places that are literally devoted to talking about views on the supernatural, I rarely ever talk about the supernatural

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I forgot that people were only allowed to have one view on life at a time.

We didn't 'invent' the label of atheism, the Ancient Greeks did, and it carried over into Latin, then into modern day English.

The pre-fix of 'a-' denotes the negative of the proceeding term:

- 'sexual' vs 'asexual'
- 'symmetrical' vs 'asymmetrical'
- 'typical' vs 'atypical'

And 'theism' (belief in god/s) vs 'atheism' (no belief in god/s). Lack of a belief in the flying spaghetti monster would still be labeled as atheism. It is wrong to assume that atheism is a label specifically for the non-belief in the Christian god, just because it happens to be the most commonly debated one. And congratulations ChaybaChayba, you ARE an atheist whether you like it or not, but with respect to any one of the other 10,000 gods that have been worshiped on Earth since the dawn of humankind. You don't believe in Baal, or Shiva, or Zeus, or Jupiter, or Venus, or Artemis, or Cupid, or Hades, or etc etc etc. You're an atheist with respect to all of them.

your a moron.

It's "you're", as in "you are". If you're going to insult someone's intelligence, it looks better if your own grammar is better than theirs.

Not neccesarily.

Every person has an ulterior motive to what they do.
Depending on whether someone 'operates' on the 'big picture' scale, or on the 'detailed scale', defines why they do what they do.

Not all people have thought aout God. Many just get caught up in their lives' details.

A lot of people see irrelevance in details though and 'lvl up'* towards the 'bigger picture'.

The general idea of god, is not a detail. It is generally a theory of creation, not the subject of that which is already 'created'.

Religions, their labels, endless arrays of terms and "isms", distract one from the essential Truth; the Essence. It involves false judgment. Then, you can see that people are fighting, arguing and spreading conflict simply by their distractions from the Truth.

Truth = science and reason, so yeah. You mostly see religious people fuck shit up.

Mark was being literal. So was I in my reply.
I lack the belief that there is a God. Though 'it' does not mean 'we' have no evidence for God, as is subjective and therefore not 'we', but as for you an 'I'.

Atheism is very simply a statement. "I do not believe there is a God or Gods".

This is the fundamental building block of atheism.

Now I am saying - I do not believe there is a God or Gods.

Very literally (as Mark said) that is atheism.

You seem to choose not to grasp this perception.
Perhaps it's where you get off on calling people you think aren't atheists, tools.

Cloud what I was getting onto you about was that you said,

"Atheism is the belief in the lack of a God."

Which is just not true, yes you are an atheist if you believe that, but that is not what Atheism inherently is. The way you said it was as if every Atheist asserts that there is no god, which is just not true. It just means that they have no belief in one existing. Animals are atheists, but do they believe god doesn't exist?

as for Alex, Pardon me for forming posts quickly. I'll never more not stop to check my grammar before having my computer locked out...

I wasn't picking on you It's just easier to insult someone when you appear to be on higher ground than they are.

Mark claimed what Atheism is, through a simple and witty analysing of my post. If you wish to dispute the (obviously) subjective term, dispute it with him.

How are animals Atheists? they don't even have a clue, to be an atheist is a choice, not "not knowing" thus animals can't be an atheist. Before the whole god thing even started nobody was an atheist, because they did not know, like animals don't know. Atheism is a choice, like i said. If you refuse to believe Atheism is a choice then you have to refuse religion is a choice too.

All that is required to be an Atheist is to have a lack of belief in the supernatural. "Animals don't know." That is exactly my point. They have no belief in the supernatural. They don't disbelieve it (because they don't know) but they don't believe it either.

I fail to see where I said atheism wasn't a choice...
