  1. Lmao, I agree. Although it doesn’t hurt in reading about other opinions and definitions.

  2. What’s “atheist literature” mean?

  3. Are there other atheists besides you? How rare is it to find an atheist in your country?

  4.  @thomasmorato5098  An agnostic believes in the possibility of “something”, while an atheist simply doesn’t care at all. I know these terms are confusing, so I hope I clarified on what they mean.

  5. @基督教化学家Hate the law of Ķýrios Lol, I don’t really believe in any of that to be “atheist literature”, it doesn’t make sense.

  6. I’m an atheist and I know what’s right or wrong. I have my own standards and principles that dictate who I am as an individual.

  7.  @ailynnmckae1130  Well, according to my beliefs, humans are animals who have made the conscious effort to make everything up to live and have meaning. Meaning, you’re right, we don’t know, it’s all just theories, which gives us the illusion that we have meaning.

  8.  @djwiggles2835  Most of them are agnostic, so I don’t see them as truly atheist.

  9.  @thomasmorato5098  They’re 2 different definitions. An atheist does not believe in anything supernatural or spiritual. An agnostic believes in “something”, but they’re mostly skeptical, however are open-minded to a presence of a “higher being”. I’m an atheist who believes in nothing, nor cares for anything spiritual and supernatural.
    2
  10.  @thomasmorato5098  I think you’re very confused. Yes, as an atheist, I believe in nothing, which means I don’t believe in anything spiritual, supernatural, or the possibility of a “higher being”. There’s obvious differences between the definitions, is what I’ve been trying to say.

  11.  @Daniel-hp3tk  That doesn’t make sense. Buddhism is a religion, which means spirituality is a huge part of that religion...and that defeats the purpose of an atheist. I’ve studied theology immensely, and what you’re saying is a contradiction in principles.
    2
  12.  @izabella7174  Buddhism is a religion! They’re are highly spiritual, mediate and chant. The lore of Buddhism includes deities, even the Buddha himself is a “deity”. There is “good” and “bad” in Buddhism, there is even a “demon” who tries to manipulate Siddhartha. Please educate yourself, what you’re saying is simply wrong and misguided.

  13.  @bluebird-cd6in  The US does not separate the church from the state, unfortunately. The US still heavily relies upon the Bible for guidelines, which goes into policy making. And never has there been a president who has confidently stated they were agnostic or atheist, although some might’ve been, secretly.

  14.  @ashleyredsheep  I’m an atheist, and I think there are more agnostic individuals than atheist. I don’t believe in anything spiritual, whatsoever, but I’ve dedicated myself to theology, so now I’m more educated than most religious people, lol.
    2
  15. Well, they’re “agnostic” after all. I’m a hardcore atheist, and I can see why they’re interested in spiritual “games”. But, I do find it entertaining, especially the meanings and designs of he cards. It’s basically like playing an ordinary board game, or even a ouija board for fun.
    2
  16. I think there’s still more of a difference than an atheist vs an agnostic, because one of them is more spiritual, while the other is not at all. Like me, for example, being the hardcore atheist who’s not into anything “spiritual”.

  17.  @ColoredMud  How is your sister non-spiritual, if the definition of an “agnostic” is to believe in a “higher being”? Wouldn’t she be an atheist, then? Either or, people try to find a way to force their opinions on you, religious or not, lol. But I do agree, I only say I’m an atheist out loud if I’m around people I feel comfortable with.
    2
  18.  @ColoredMud  Yes, exactly. Which mean they essentially believe in a “higher being” is out there, but they’re hesitant in fully believing in such a theory without hardcore prove. An atheist is more extreme, in the sense that they don’t believe in anything spiritual or supernatural...at all.
    2
  19.  @ColoredMud  They’re similar in a sense, yes, but that’s why I said atheism goes a step further in its believes, in a way of absolutism.
    2
  20.  @thomasmorato5098  I totally disagree. An agnostic is more accepting of a “higher being”, while an atheist isn’t. A “pure atheist” is not agnostic, lol, which was my point.
    1
  21.  @thomasmorato5098  You’re not getting the “key words” here. They believe in the “possibility” of a higher being, while an atheist doesn’t. Yes, I do. It seems you’re ignoring the major differences in the philosophy, and just want to be right. From the beginning, most of these people are not atheist, they’re “agnostic”; still slightly different principles.
    1
  22.  @thomasmorato5098  Yes they’re. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be different interpretations. I know the differences, and you’ve already accepted in what I said in relation to the “possibility” of something. “Burden of proof”? What does this have to do with anything?
    1
  23.  @Daniel-hp3tk  You’re very uneducated in theology. I dare you to go read the scriptures of Buddhism, and learn of its lore. An atheist doesn’t believe in “spiritualism”! The Buddha himself is a deity/God. Do you not realize his significance? They believe in reincarnation and other spiritual elements, while an atheist doesn’t care about any of that.
    1
  24.  @thomasmorato5098  What are you even saying at this point! I’m saying I don’t believe in anything that relates to spirituality and the supernatural! That’s it.
    1
  25.  @thomasmorato5098  Of course I have integrity and morals. This isn’t about that, atheism is about detesting and ignoring anything spiritual or supernatural. You’re misinterpreting what I’ve been saying this entire time. No, I’ve been an atheist for almost a decade now.
    1
  26.  @thomasmorato5098  I have no clue what “burden of proof” and “default position” means, or has any relevance to atheism. You’re vague and uneducated. If you want a real conversation, go into details and don’t come up with random terms. No, you’re confused and lost. I’ve already explained everything. People think that Buddhism is not a religion, for example, which it is. And you’re going on mindless tangents, that having nothing to do with me.
    1
  27.  @thomasmorato5098  Yes, because that has nothing to do with my believes, especially because you didn’t elaborate on what those terms have to do with me? You can laugh all day, I’m not insecure and have a major ego problem. Have a good day.
    1
  28.  @thomasmorato5098  Ok, Mr. pseudo-intellectual, you’ve won.
    1
  29.  @thomasmorato5098  Why don’t you explain? Or, do you want to keep going? Define “burden of proof” and “default position” for me? Tell me how that relates to me? Tell me how Buddhism isn’t a religion? Why don’t you educate me and everyone here? I would really appreciate your insight, since you seem more educated than I.

  30.  @izabella7174  You said Buddhism is an “atheist religion”? But Buddha could easily be considered a deity/God, same with Jesus. He’s literally in gold with a “divine” sense of aura. Even though they worship his teachings and the universal concept, doesn’t mean it has to do with atheism. I’ve already said many times, as an atheist I don’t believe in any of that, all I believe in is my own virtues.
    1
  31.  @izabella7174  But again, that has nothing to do with atheism. What does “definition of the term that avoids the usual reduction to ‘religions of the book’” mean? I don’t understand the last sentence?
    1
  32.  @izabella7174  In my opinion, he is. Although to those who practice the faith, he’s not, similar to Hinduism. There’s tons of deities in Hinduism, and people pray to their statues, but in actuality they’re praying to one God. No, they have little evidence of his existence, at least they have more info on Confucius, except for his birth.
    1
  33.  @izabella7174  I unfortunately don’t read other people’s opinions and thesis’s on theology, instead I go straight to the source. Which means I read the chapters in the scriptures. “1500s”? What does that mean? Paganism has been around since the beginning of mankind. A religion in general is simply a following. I disagree. I believe at its core, Buddhism is a religion, it has a follower, and there are virtues you must follow. What is the religion called that mixes Taoism and Buddhism? Are you referring to something like Shinto in Japan?
    1
  34.  @izabella7174  No, it’s an interpretation. Jesus and Buddha both have similar “divine” entities: the statues and pictures all have the same grandiose pose to them. They’re literally everywhere. “Versions”? You mean authors? I have also read the epic poems in Hinduism, they’re not that different than any plethora of pagan mythology.
    1
  35.  @izabella7174  That’s good, lol, because I was confused, I thought you were arguing that Buddhism wasn’t a religion. I get what you mean. You’re talking about modern paganism, with Hinduism being the first “organized religion”. Oh, what country are you from?
    1
  36.  @izabella7174  No, lol, I’ve read the Talmud, and they mention Jesus in Nazareth. There’s still little evidence of their existence. They’re definitely the same in many instances, as I’ve already explained, especially their symbolism being “holy” and “divine”. That’s called “sects”. Hindus pray to different deities, however believe in only one God, or “supreme being”.

  37.  @icarusgotooclose  You guys need to look up the differences between an atheist and an agnostic. Google is your friend.
    1
  38.  @icarusgotooclose  You can't counter facts, sadly.
    1
  39.  @icarusgotooclose  I'm only going to say this one more time: an agnostic is someone who can't disbelieve or believe in a "higher being"; essentially they're in limbo for "prove". An atheist doesn't care about anything in regards to the supernatural or spirituality of any such religion, or paganism power at play. Instead of ranting or using insults, simply use Google to look up the differences. Be rational, use your critical thinking skills, this is what research is about, this is why I studied theology in the first place, to educate the ignorant. I'm sure you'll mature and realize you're wrong, and that's ok, we all fail at one point.
    1
  40.  @icarusgotooclose  Oh no, this was never about agnostic atheists, it was me trying to clarify my definition of just being an "atheist"; nothing more. An atheist by itself is the total disregard of believing of the possibility of a "higher being". I absolutely, genuinely, don't care, and that's the literal definition. It's fine. I was specific from the start, but everyone is just confused and doesn't understand the subtle differences.

  41.  @sandrabrainy9710  That's exactly what I said.

  42. There are ignorant people on both sides, it is true.

  43.  @chesneectp  I’m an atheist. I got over death once I stopped believing in anything supernatural and fairytales. I think of death as a permanent sleep, and I like the thought of that.

  44.  @bluebird-cd6in  I think it’s because of Dwight Eisenhower, he really pushed the agenda, when he signed the bill that put “In God We Trust” on the dollar bill, which ironically makes it a paradox, with the freemasonry symbols sitting beside it.

  45. No, lol, I didn’t read any of that stuff and I’m an atheist.

  46.  @wunderfisch  Yea, they made it seem like it was a “trend”, but then again, they’re “agnostic”, not pure atheist.
    1
  47.  @meizumi  Probably. Although I didn’t read any books on the subject, I just became an atheist on my own.

  48. How come?

  49. Maybe they were skeptical and had to research what “atheism” could mean?

  50. Nope, I’m an atheist and am against most organizations, including the LGBTQ+ hysteria.

  51.  @averxyn  Were you always an atheist?
