Atheism requires no faith because to any religious question an atheist can simply respond "I don't know".
Naw, that's pretty much the textbook definition of agnostic.
atheism: a cover for depression,
Now that's just insulting. Same to you buddy.
I tend to think everyone has faith in something... they may trust and have faith in factless theories from scientists.
Not quite. People with factless theories shouldn't be called scientists. Whenever I hear about a study or a report, I don't have faith that it's true, I have hope that it's true and will stand up to review. Likewise, I function with an assumption that things like gravity and sunrise will continue to act like they have all my life, but that's not faith. Those things really could change in an apocalyptic fashion.
I'm still adament that it takes more faith to be an athiest though.
And I'll still disagree.
they have faith that there is no afterlife
Well, no. There doesn't appear to be any reason to believe in an afterlife, so I don't. What items people have brought forth as reasons to believe in such a thing have not stood up to inspection and tests.
Speaking of which:
I heard of a Christian school proposal refused by the ministry of Education
Citation or it didn't happen the way you say it did.
Did you ever see the south park episode on Atheism? They were fighting over the name of their club!
Did you see any of the episodes involving Christianity? Hilarious!
"Atheism" is not a worldview that one can convert to.
I think this is a matter of opinion.
Actually, I'd agree with you here. There is certainly a rational worldview that includes atheism. And there IS sort of an atheist movement, just like there has always been, but now they're not being burned at the stake or being called communists. (unless they support Obama)
Nope you're wrong. See -
First Church of Atheism
Yeah, I'm not really part of that. So there's no organization here.
If I want to, I can become an ordained minister at the first church of Atheism. How about that.
Yup. A friend of mine got ordained by some universal church or something so he could perform the ceremony to get me and the wife married. It was fantastic. But this whole "ordained" thing is priced accordingly: $0.00.
Naturalism is the same thing as Atheism
Wut? Naw man. All baptists are Christians, but not all Christians are baptists. Sets and sub-sets. Ya get it?
Except you're butchering the definition of naturalism as well...
Evolution is a part of the doctrine of Atheism. It goes hand in hand.
Aye, it does. As as part of the atheist worldview, the religion part. For those who hold some sort of atheistic religion. But as for those who just hold the atheist belief, it doesn't say anything about evolution. Really, this was covered in the first post.
