There Is No Scientific Proof That A God Or God?

What is atheism? Why would someone be an atheist? Why do people fear and dislike atheism? Simply stated, atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods. Granted, atheists are each individuals and undoubtedly each of them prescribe [to] many different philosophies on life, politics and morality as do Christians. However, though atheists may choose to gather collectively for whatever purpose, unlike Christianity, atheism is not a belief system. An individual who identifies himself as an atheist is merely stating that he does not believe in [the existence of] god or gods. Atheism, as indicated by its name, is the opposite of theism which is belief in at least one god; to include polytheism (belief in many or more than one god) and monotheism

Atheism believes there is no God by faith. Their view of the beginning of the universe is totally scientific. They believe everything in universe came into existence from nothing at a point in the past. I can use an example

To begin, the roles people play and the beliefs people have or do not have may be able to be explained through a scientific development. The explanation of atheism and agnosticism can be described when we define both of them fully. Agnosticism is also known as agnostic; furthermore, atheist have a lack of faith, a lack of beliefs in that of a God. Atheists even have a belief that there is actually no God. When in fact, what they actually have is a lack of awareness that there are actually Gods. When it comes to these who are of the atheism belief can be described as an atheist. They who are agnostic just believe that it is a impossible to know there i there really is a God. And than, they also have a possible caution about the issue of a God concept that they may not understand. In fact, in all actuality agnostic do not actually

Whether they believe in a god or not, everyone has some idea on what might happen after death. Some believe in an afterlife, some believe in reincarnation, and others believe there is nothing after death. No matter a person's belief, one makes choices based on what they think will happen after death. Say there is life after death, then one must do good things to have a nice afterlife. Even if there is no afterlife the things one has done during life are not simply erased. Death may be the end-all for human consciousness, but what a person has done will still have ramifications in the living world, in the memories of the people who live on. This shows that death does not detract from life's meaning. There are many who risk their lives to do good and meaningful things, and one might say that their lives are meaningful because of that risk. In this case, if one could not die then that risk is insignificant, similar to how winning a game that is impossible to lose would be insignificant. This would cause their sacrifice, and consequently their lives, to be less meaningful, if not meaningless. In effect, the risk of death makes a person's actions much more meaningful.

As the world grows, diversity follows. With this diversity different faiths, or even lack of, are created; one being Atheism. Atheism is the unbelief of God or any other supreme being. Atheism is becoming more present within the community which sometimes leads to criticism. Since Christianity is the is the polar opposite of Atheism, their beliefs, practices, and symbols (or lack of) are bound to clash. Nonetheless, Atheism continues to grow.

Is there a god? This is a question that all types of people regardless of their religion have been asking for hundreds of years. If there is, why did the holocaust happen? Why is North Korea in the totalitarian state they are in now? These hypothetical questions can not be answered 100% correctly, however people from different religions have different explanations as to why god/god’s let bad things happen. This begs the question, is religion a worthwhile and beneficial practice for humans? The answer to that question is yes, religion is a worthwhile and beneficial practce for humans.

Many people have an opinion about the overall nature of the universe and about the role which humanity plays in the universe. For example, “Why are we here” and “What will happen to us after we die”? The majority of us don’t know the answers to these questions. Thus, many of us want to have a religion because it gives us the impression that we are secure in the universe. It also provides guidance in our life. I presume it’s easier to live with some sort of explanation, even if it’s incorrect. When asked, “What religion do you practice”? I reply, “I’m atheist”. I simply lack belief in deities. However, many people have preconceived ideas about what I am and what I am not. For instance, I don’t believe in God, I loathe Christians; I concur

People go out, make friends, commitments, work, join teams and much more. Why do we do these things? Because if we didn’t we would be lazy and not be unique or have a meaning. Purpose is defined as “the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists” (Wikipedia). Without religion, we would have no purpose or idea of what happens after death. Religion is a thing because it gives us as humans a purpose and guides us through life. It sets out rules or guidelines to live by for purpose. But there is no hard copy proof of some of the beliefs in religion, so how are we supposed to know that they are true. The thing is we don’t. So, the question remains to why we as humans continue to believe in such things. “Religious ideas about good and evil tend to focus on how to achieve well-being in the next life, and this makes them terrible guides to securing it in this one. Of course, there are a few gems to be found in every religious tradition, but insofar as these precepts are wise and useful they are not, in principle, religious” (Wikipedia). It is possible that people believe in religion because they are afraid of death and the unknown. But who is to say that that is really the way to live our life. Over time morals for society have changed

Some atheists would even go as far to say that religion is a ''mental disorder'' and should be remedied[12]. It is shown that the very orthodox sectors of religion are against the rights of women and homosexuals[13] - the logic of very dated information, atheists say. Another thing atheists say is that religion uses fear a lot to get people into it, from an early age in children instilling fear by regarding the existence of a hell[14]. Religion tends to also accommodate the fact of a second life - a way to ease people's anxieties of

There are many types of atheistic beliefs, but overall Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of a god or gods (Merriam-webster.com). In Jesse Smith’s journal, “The Scientific Study of Religion” he investigates the roots of American Atheism and how it is rising in today’s society. In his journal he states, “There have been atheists in this country since its inception, but an expressed atheist presence in U.S. society has never been anything other than a very small minority” (Smith 80). He further states, “Within the last decade explicitly atheist groups all across the country proliferated and became conspicuous. These groups have become increasingly interconnected, and an expanding network-an American atheist community- is developing a more recognizable place in American culture” (Smith 80). Atheism is at the peak of its existence and is growing every day. In 2012 this atheist group even made the newspaper for its rally to be held at the National Mall in Washington D.C. The article written by John Watts states, “The National Mall will play host to a rally for atheists on Saturday, March 24, that is being referred to as the “Woodstock for nonbelievers”, and this event is intended to be celebratory” (Watts). This event turned out to be the largest ever gathering of nonbelievers in one place (huffingtonpost.com). This growing movement is called New Atheism.

The first kind of people that believe in the afterlife is atheist who believe that there is no life after death no matter what happens. The poem “When I am dead my dearest” by Christina Rossetti shows that when she is gone she will no longer have a life and will never return. She explains

Throughout the ages, the topic of religion has always been discussed and argued over. Some people will always argue that God does exist, whilst others will argue that he doesn’t.

This movement is generally called New Atheism, and Erika Blair has identified five main “pillars” of the movement, two of which I will focus on here: “(1) faith and belief in human evolution and the finality of the genius of Charles Darwin …. (4) self-realization through knowledge/humanism/morality” (Blair 9). Stephen LeDrew studies “active atheists,” such as those who join groups like CFI, and he asserts that a scientific worldview (“Reply” 466) and morality (“Discovering Atheism” 447) are key aspects of New Atheist belief. I found these pillars and aspects evident at the CFI meeting. In our conversations, my friend Lance has also made comments that reflect some of these

Religion is one of the touchiest subjects in America. It is something that is rarely on the forefront of many people’s minds but as soon as someone brings it up, everyone has an opinion. Similarly, the idea of no religion, of atheism, is equally opinionated. While Americans of “faith” often have conflicting opinions with each other, they often stand united on the stance of atheism. For them, atheism is bad and atheists are bad. However, what really is an atheist? At its most basic, an atheist is merely an individual who rejects the idea of god and religion. It is nothing more, nothing less. Nevertheless, many people of faith attach secondary implications to this definition. They unify atheists under a series of assumptions concerning

While sitting down and talking to Sam she told me that she is an atheist. I was a bit confused by this for a moment since for years she has always maintained that she follows Wiccanism. Actually, my first thought was “Now I have to change the concept of my paper.” How can someone be an atheist but still have a religious belief system? Sam explained
