i did not say "atheism bad". sure, i dont agree with a lot of atheist beliefs, but the last thing i want to do is spread hate.
and, if you feel good about yourself, "failure to believe in anything" might not actually be a failure. š
What are atheist beliefs? I thought being atheist just meant you were non-religious?
Atheist really means a definite belief that there is no god. Agnostic is less āstrongā, asserting that it's impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.
Atheist is a non-believer. Prefix āa-ā means absence. Every human is an atheist unless they believe in every god. The word was first used in relation to Christians.
Anti-theist is someone opposed to religion or belief in supernatural. āAntiā means āopposed / opposite toā.
Agnostic is a bullshit cop-out term that at some point in a Christian discourse briefly meant āsomeone who considers supernatural to not be knowableā, but doesnāt have a proper meaning nowadays. It has a transactional role in conversation - it most often relays unwillingness to continue the conversation on religion.
A ādefinite belief that there is no godā would be āgnostic atheistā in proper terms. I.e. āgod is knowable and heās absentā. But those proper terms were barely ever alive. Instead, people dance around topic of religion as if it didnāt enjoy enough fucking dances for millennia past.
Interesting what meaning these words have in English.
That's quite specific, tbh. And both are very American in that they are defined around the bed too establish and stand off "sides". As if there is a right or wrong to children believing in a Santa Claus until a certain age, or grown ups believing into an adult variant if that. The morality comes from the actions taken under such a belief.
