Atheism Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.[1][2] In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.[3][4][5] Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist.[4][5][6][7] Atheism is contrasted with theism,[8][9] which, in its most general form, is the belief that at least one deity exists.[9][10][11] The term "atheism" originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the gods worshiped by the larger society.[12] With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope.

Arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to social and historical approaches. Definitions and distinctions Range Concepts

An Atheist Manifesto Somewhere in the world a man has abducted a little girl. No. The entirety of atheism is contained in this response. It is worth noting that no one ever needs to identify himself as a non-astrologer or a non-alchemist. We live in a world where all things, good and bad, are finally destroyed by change.
