Atheism
From AtheistWiki
Atheism is the absence of belief in a god or gods.
It may be:
- the absence of belief in a god or gods. Also called weak atheism or negative atheism.
- the assertion that belief in deities is not justified (an explicit form of weak atheism).
- a clear statement that gods do not exist. Also called strong atheism or positive atheism.
Atheism is not a religion. A religion, by definition, implies belief in a god or gods. Atheists simply do not believe in gods which are defined as supernatural, non-physical, spiritual entities. Atheists lack faith in this type of being in the same way they lack faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Atheists generally pursue naturalism or have a scientific approach to life. As a result, Atheists tend to support the Theory of Evolution.
