"Thank-you...
You have affirmed your cognitive disconnect between your being an atheist and your understanding of human dignity... eg You think they are fundamentally unrelated..."
Being an atheist means not believing in a god. That is it. Trying to draw a connection between an absence of belief in something and an unrelated topic is a non sequitur.
IF AND ONLY IF they are indeed unrelated...
Atheism IS a world-view...
It views existence as uncreated...
It DOES have repurcussions on one's view of human nature, and human dignity is a feature of human nature...
"So next question: Do you know any well known atheists who are great advocates of human dignity?"
Nope, because I don't care about the topic and have not looked for any such people or subjects.
Then my much earlier question about human dignity - eg Do you see it as simply an annoying non-essential? - is now answered in the affirmative?? Thank-you...
But the denial of the existence of God IS a world-view, of necessity...
Incorrect. My atheism only tells you I don't hold a theistic worldview. It does not inform you of my naturalist worldview.
That is why I asked you about human dignity, and how you justify it if you do, and why you do not justify it if you don't...
Why is it important to you for my world-view to be defined by my atheism?
I majored in Philosophy at SDSU...
Understandings are all inter-related...
