Nonbelief as Support for Atheism The Canadian philosopher J.L. Schellenberg has recently put forward an argument for atheism based on the idea that God is supposed to be perfectly loving and so would not permit people to be deprived of awareness of his existence. If such a deity were to exist, then, he would do something to reveal his existence clearly to people, thereby causing them to become theists.

The video, God vs. Atheism: Which is more rational, doesn’t make sense to me. It starts by saying faith’s a belief in God, but towards the end it says God doesn’t require faith. If Faith is a belief in God, how does God not require faith? It says Atheism requires faith but Atheists don’t believe in God. How would Atheists have a belief in God, Faith?

New atheism is a rising trend and belief in today's modern society. It is a form of atheism. However it does differ from just regular atheism. I am going to talk about why the way new atheists think are wrong. I will do this looking at their position, why it fails, their criticism of Christianity and how Christians can respond to it. The new atheists position is that religion, supernatural, etc. are obsolete. That everything should be explained by a rational thought and science has the answers.
