The term atheism is formed of the Greek prefix a- (meaning "without" or "not") and the Greek-derived theism , meaning a belief in a god (or gods). Therefore, the literal meaning of the term is without a belief in a god or gods . In common speech and argument one encounters various ways of using the term, some of which seem to directly contradict the root meaning. It may be taken literally to mean lack of belief in gods ("implicit atheism") or quite often, it may be used to mean that and to additionally layer over that a specific belief in the non-existence of gods ("explicit atheism".) From this basic schism, one can correctly infer that atheism is a stance that is the focus of a great deal of passionate argument, and as such, the meaning of the word is quite often appropriated to mean considerably more than the term itself would seem to warrant.

82. Atheism Awareness: Welcome To Atheism Awareness! Addresses the myths and misconceptions about atheism. Offers definitions of the basic concepts, questions and answers and recommended books. http://atheismawareness.home.att.net/

Welcome to Atheism Awareness! I'm glad you stopped by and hope you enjoy your visit. Why is atheism so misunderstood by many theists and even some atheists? Perhaps the taboo associated with atheism is the result of misconceptions, misunderstanding and myths? This page was not designed to de-convert anyone. The purpose of Atheism Awareness is to educate people about atheism and atheists. Atheism Awareness strives to eliminate the preconceived biases about atheism and atheists that have persisted throughout history and continue to do so. Even in this day and age of science, technology and instant global communications we are still faced with misinformation about people, cultures, religions and other means of identification that can often lead to bigotry, racism and prejudice. The amount of misconceptions, misunderstandings and myths that we spread about each other is phenomenal. The goal of Atheism Awareness is to help dispel those misconceptions, misunderstandings and myths about atheism and atheists. I wanted to make this as easy as possible. I don't want visitors to need a doctorate in philosophy or theology to understand the concepts and ideas presented at Atheism Awareness. There will be times when more complicated answers are required, but I will make every effort to keep them simple. If you find there is something you do not understand then please do not hesitate to email me and ask for clarification.

Atheism History Reasons Rituals Types of Atheism Features Overview of Atheism Atheism is not a belief. Atheism is the absence of belief in God. Atheists are people who do not believe in God or other spiritual beings. Some atheists go further and deny that God, or other spiritual beings, exist. Agnostics Agnostics, in the popular sense, are people who have doubts about the existence of God. They don't believe that God exists, but they don't believe that God doesn't exist, either. There are probably over a billion people who don't believe in God, but don't go as far saying that they are certain that God doesn't exist. The strict meaning of Agnostic is not the same as this popular meaning. An agnostic in the original sense of the word is a person who thinks that we can't ever know about anything other than the material world, and therefore that the question as to whether God exists or not is one that can never be answered. Reasons for Non-Belief People are non-believers for many reasons, among them:

Atheism Defined Atheism - What Is It? Atheism is the belief that there is no God. Some atheists often argue this blanket statement because, they offer, there are two different types of atheists, usually referred to as "strong" or "weak" atheists. Before we continue, let's first define the relevant forms of belief as described in various atheist literature: Theism - The belief in a god (there are also different varieties of theism, but the common thread is a belief in one or more supernatural deities). "Strong" Atheism - The belief that there is no god, or cannot be a god ( The Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes the most common version of an atheist as "... a person who maintains that there is no God" "Weak" Atheism - Lacking belief in a god ; lacking belief in a certain god. Agnosticism - The belief that it cannot be known if there is a god. Atheism - The Variations Explained The "weak" version of atheism is problematic. There are essentially only three real positions of belief one can take rationally: (a) there is a god; (b) there is no god; (c) I don't/can't know if there is a god. A "weak" atheist, by claiming to simply lack belief, chooses to not take a stand on the issue. By not taking a stand, he is allowing that there may be a god, and this is simply agnosticism. Often the claim of being a "weak" atheist comes from a desire to (i) deny the existence of a god, while (ii) not having to defend the "strong" position, which, as we'll see below, is very difficult, if not impossible, to defend.

Discussion Forum Do you have an opinion about this page? Make it known on the Discussion Forum The most influential Catholic lay group during the Franco period was the controversial Opus Dei (Work of God). This group did not fit conveniently into any political category. Although it denied any political aims, its members played pivotal roles in the modernization of the economy under Franco and in the subsequent liberalization of politics and government. At the same time, they were theologically conservative, and their desire for modernization was far from radical. They believed that economic reforms would improve society to the extent that thoroughgoing political reforms would be unnecessary Opus Dei was founded in 1928 by an Aragonese priest, Jose Maria Escriva de Balaguer y Albas, and it was subsequently recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as its first secular religious institution. Although attention has been drawn primarily to its activities in Spain, it is an international body with members and associates throughout the world. Members take a vow to dedicate their professional talents to the service of God and to seek to win converts through their missionary zeal. The organization in Spain has emphasized professional excellence, and it has expected its members to serve in important government positions

Atheism Profile Beliefs Related Ideologies Links ... Bibliography I. Group Profile Name: Atheism Definition: Atheism is a) the disbelief in the existence of God or any other deity, or b) the doctrine that there is neither god nor any other deity. (1) The word comes from two Greek word roots: a , which means "not," and theos , which means "god." (2) History: Atheism has its roots in both Eastern and Western ancient cultures.While the philosophers of ancient Greece were debating the characteristics of their gods, the Indian Vedas were also questioning the power and origin of the deities of their belief system. These debates, in both cultures, eventually led to questions concerning the actual existence of any gods. These questions did not gain widespread recognizition until much later, however. Atheism as it is known today largely developed in Western culture, and had its first great entrance onto history's philosophical stage during the Enlightenment. (3) Early Christian thought set some of the groundwork for later atheist arguments. Christian thinkers debated the characteristics of God and tried to prove, through reason, the existence of God and the existence of the Christian idea of God. Anslem, for example, in the Ontological Argument for the Existence of God, argued that God is that which there is nothing greater, and since a real God is greater than an imagined one, then God must exist. Other Christian thinkers did not accept Anselm's reasoning here, but offered other arguments on why God had to exist. Aquinas tried to present God as a "first mover," as one who set the world in motion, and without whom nothing would exist. He argued that objects and their existence proved the existnce of its creator. (4)

100. Does God Exist? A brief summary of the most powerful arguments in favor of the existence of a personal Creator God. http://www.christian-faith.com/atheism/DoesGodexist.html

Does God Exist? I shall always be convinced that a watch proves a watchmaker, and that a universe proves a God. Voltaire Here we have the saying of an great influential thinker, who was by no means a Christian. Multitudes of great minds have believed and do believe in God's existence, but today some would have us think that belief in God is illogical, foolish and incompatible with observable facts. Obviously the question is important. If there is a God to whom I owe allegiance, honor and respect, I would be a fool to ignore Him. If such a God does not exist, this will affect everything also - even more so if the Christian Bible correctly describes God. It is worth taking some time to consider the question. I don't believe that anyone can give a mathematical proof of the existence of God. But we can show that God's existence is far more likely to be a reality than his non-existence. Unless the atheist can show that a Supreme Being is a logical impossibility and prove all their premises, the case for atheism remains very weak. Atheists claim we can know that God does not exist. A Russian Believer answers Communist authorities on this point What follows now are several arguments for the existence of God which I believe are very strong.
