Get the athiest mug.Related Words
The lack of belief in a deity or deities. Just that. Nothing else.
Atheism doesn't hold any answers to life's big questions. It won't tell you the meaning of life and it won't tell you how it all started. It's not a religion, not a philosophy, not a way of life. Atheism is quite simply *non-belief*.

#1: "I heard you're an atheist and don't believe in God, #2. If that's true then how did the universe begin?"
#2: "I don't know for sure. The leading scientific theory right now is the Big Bang theory, but that has a few problems and might not be correct."
#1: "If there's no God then where do we know right from wrong from?"
#2: "Again, I don't know for sure, but the general theory is that we evolved this feature because social creatures do better if unit cohesion isn't hindered by constant murdering."
Atheism isn't about answers. It's not really about anything, actually.

Get the Atheism mug.Imagine a town, take out all of the good and you are left with what geoloists know as an Atherstone.
The majority of the population is comprised of drunks, pensioners and general ASBO young-uns. A very key factor regarding to be taken into consideration, is the very small local gene pool; inbreading isn't a problem yet, but without the introduction of fresh genetics into the area uno-brows will soon be worn like a unifom.
The local economy of an Atherstone is usualy supported by three key factors. These are as follows; Public Houses (or "Pub's" as the locals refer to them) are the main source of local income. The offspill from these is usualy take-aways (Indian, Chinese or other generic foregin muck), usualy serving slop-in-a-tray (the local specialty). Finaly charity or second hard stores make up he final key economic sector, providing the peasants with whatever they need, but can't eat or drink.

Tarquin; By jove, Giles. I could use a hooker, a beer and a a large serving of shit-in-a-tray! Where would you reccomend?
Giles: Well, Tarquin. If you also have a craving for an STD and a rash the size of an Antelope, join me for a sioré in Atherstone!

Get the Atherstone mug.Okay, little kids. Atheists are NOT bigots, racists or Satanists.
Atheists don't believe in God, or Satan.
True Atheists are not assholes who run around saying DEFEND ATHEISM. It's not a religion. I'm Atheist and I don't go around doing it.
Infact I'm completely embarressed about arrogant people running amiss saying stuff like that.
Anyways, Atheists are normal people, who just don't believe in god, or satan.
They aren't demon-possessed.
And with the whole suing people for saying god in class, that is a little rediculous.
But if you're Christian, would you want someone going 'THERE IS NO GOD' in the middle of your class? I think not.
They're normal people who are tolerant of any religion unless it's being shoved down their throat.
I mean I don't think any religion tolerates that.
So please, stop saying we are satanists, demon-possessed, stupid, bigots, and racists.
Do you want me calling you stupid for believing in a supreme being? I think not, and I don't think you're stupid for that, anyways.
But please stop.
We're just people who don't believe in God, OR Satan.

Get the atheists mug.Atheism is absence of belief in god(s). It is not necessarily belief that no god(s) exist. Just as asexual is absence of sex in reproduction, not opposition to sex or asymmetrical is absence of symmetry, not opposition to symmetry. Atheism is simple absence of theism.
Frequently people confuse the theism vs atheism question with the gnostic vs agnostic question. The word gnostic means pertaining to knowledge. It is a question about whether a person is certain or "knows".
Everybody is either theist or atheist and everybody is either gnostic or agnostic. There are agnostic theists. They believe god(s) exist, but don't claim to know for sure personally. There are gnostic theists. They believe and claim to know for sure that god(s) exist. There are agnostic atheists. They do not believe in god(s), but do not claim to know with certainty that no god exists. There are also gnostic atheists who claim to know that no god exists. It possible and quite common among atheists to not have been convinced of the hypothesis that god(s) exist without taking the position that no god exists.
