A community portal about Atheism with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Atheism is the state of disbelief or non-belief in the existence of a deity or deities. It is commonly defined as the positive denial of theism, or the deliberate rejection of theism. However, others—including most atheistic philosophers and groups—define atheism as the simple absence of belief in deities , thereby designating many agnostics, and people who have never heard of gods, such as the unchurched or newborn children, as atheists as well. In recent years, some atheists have adopted the terms strong and weak atheism to clarify whether they consider their stance one of positive belief that no gods exist, or of mere absense of belief that gods exist.

Dawkins argues that there is no doubt that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is true and, unlike some other scholars of the subject, says belief in evolution is not compatible with faith in religion. In fact, he argues, science and religion undermine each other. "I believe a true understanding of Darwinism is deeply corrosive to religious faith," Dawkins says in his TED Talk. There's no room for a God in the world as he sees it...

A number of Christians treat Thanksgiving as a religious and even Christian holiday. They can be so convinced that Thanksgiving is religious and dedicated to thanking God that it may seem odd to them that atheists would do anything on the day. The truth is, however, that there is nothing inherently religious about Thanksgiving. There are plenty of people who can be thanked and plenty of reasons to be thankful, all without religion or gods...

It's a simple fact that the godless children being raised by atheists today are likely to be at the forefront of atheism in the future. What's not so simple is what godless parents are going to do about this - what do they want for their children, what sort of atheism do they want their children to express, and what sort of atheism do they want to see develop in the future. This, by extension, should affect what sort of community and society...

From: "Richard Subject: Question: Why do people choose to be atheists? Atheism doesn't truly exist, therefore there is no need for evidence of any sort. You only want to deny that there is a God. Theism, on the other hand, does exist, and it isn't based on a particular interpretation of data. It just is. We all know that there is a God. Whether or not we take much heed to God and what He has to say is something different altogether. Hand in...

Chairman Bart Stupak (D-MI)Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images I've frequently written that the regular use of epithets like "fundamentalist," "intolerant," and "militant" with respect to so-called "new" atheists is not so much a sincere attempt to objectively describe atheists, but rather a dishonest attempt to encourage dismissing them as unworthy of attention or consideration. I've also written that this is not in any way a tactic...
