@alienlovesecrets9379 Atheism isn't the default state. Ignorance is. If you build a worldview based on confidence that certain testimonies are false and you're unable to offer rational support for your views regarding those testimonies, if you have no rational support for your own reasoning, that means you are yourself biased towards your own selfish need to believe something about a thing you simultaneously say doesn't exist. This is known as dogmatic thinking even if you don't accept any objective criticism from people that don't already share your own dogmatic beliefs. These are language games taught at public schools.

@bakonax7080 They can't explain how "matter" became a singularity or some undivided mass of energy or potential energy or whatever. Remember the laws of thermodynamics. The energy had to come from somewhere and something had to compress it in to the universal singularity. They freak out about this because all of their dogmatic logic has no hope of adding anything authoritative to the question, when precisely did the natural laws begin? If they began with the observable universe how did they come in to existence? What they're sure about is that they hate and fear "theism". They're not "neutral" or "waiting for evidence". It's fear.

@travisjazzbo3490 They are not synonymous. Atheism is a firm belief of zero supernatural god or supernatural anything. Nonbeliever means lacking in belief. People that disagree with you lack intelligence. LOL. What a dumb statement. Why don't you learn how to research what words actually mean and how the use changes over time?

@travisjazzbo3490 That's not actually what dogma means. Subjective beliefs are not "dogmas". Dogmatic claims are "rules" of a particular belief. Dogmatic thinking is confusing "rules" or facts. Trying to figure out truth claims based purely on feelings is highly subjective and arguably useless but it's not dogmatic thinking unless it's defended by claiming that that is the only way to figure out "spiritual truths". There aren't many theistic texts that support this kind of thinking. At most you have something like Mormonism where they have a sketchy book and then ask to "prove it" with "burning of the bosom". That's dogmatic evangelism and if you go along with it it's also dogmatic thinking. Calvinism uses similar trickery. But these are exceptions rather than the rules. Sometimes parents teach dogmatically and the child isn't really mature enough to return to those conversations. But that doesn't mean they're relying on this nihilistic "just pray" theory.
