Atheism is by no means equal to theism in the probability that it is true. The sheer weight of evidence against the existence of a divine consciousness is massive. The evidence for one, well, it is minuscule if non-exist...read more

I want to preface this piece by saying that I realize in advance that this essay probably will not change anyone's views on religion. Convincing someone that their religious beliefs are incorrect is about as feasible as c...read more

Respect atheists! A magazine I read not so long ago contained a letter to the editor in which there appeared a list of different religions, or perhaps I should say belief systems, because atheism was one of them. What ...read more

The hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago didn't know much about nature. They had a god of thunder, a goddess of harvest, a sun god, a moon goddess, and many others. As human knowledge evolved, it became apparent that all...read more

Webster's On-line dictionary defines atheism as "a disbelief in the existence of (a) deity b: the doctrine that there is no deity". It's unfortunate that many people in our society espouse this belief - but, in my view, it...read more

I was raised a Roman Catholic, but somewhere in grade school I started to consider that there might be a few problems with my religion. I had always heard that Atheists were bad people and stupid for not believing in...read more

Atheism doesn't need a case to be made for it. It is not a belief in anything: it is simply an understanding that no case has been made for the mythology of a god.' It is logic not a belief. Mythology, on the other hand...read more

If there is anything that atheism has given humanity - it is the power of an open mind. It is the open mind to believe that anything is possible. Atheism counsels against blind faith. It warns us against superstition. A...read more

I'm an atheist for more reasons than I can possibly write here. None of which are because I'm selfish at heart, or have a wounded spirit and am mad at god, or because I'm confused and don't feel I fit into any religion jus...read more

I don't think one has to put a case up for atheism. It stands up on its own and does not need defending. Of course, that does not mean it could not do with more "subscribers", if it did, then I suspect, with some inner-cer...read more

Atheism is the logical choice: While it is of course possible that God exists, it's also possible that there is a spaghetti monster in the center of the Earth. And just as with the monster, God seems unable a...read more

The case for atheism is as straightforward as the case for theism. Since there is no proof that God exists, a belief that there is no God is as valid as the belief that there is a God. For the theist, a belief in the exist...read more
