Naturalist 

Someone who believes that studying physical sciences, nature, or natural history can help answer most, if not all, of our questions.

The term Naturalist is preferred by many Atheists because they have realized that to define "Atheism" using that terminology implies that religion or superstition is necessary in order to understand the philosophy of not believing in a god or gods.

Naturalist 

Someone who believes in love but not marriage. Not to be confused with polyamory, open marriage, non-monogamy, or serial monogamy. Someone, usually on their 2+ marriage, can also be a closet naturalist but they don't have the guts or desire to not be married. They admire naturalists and wish they could be one, too.

Are you married? Nah, I'm a naturalist.

Naturalist 

Someone who devotes themselves to the scientific or in some cases artistic study of nature. Naturalists are generally knowledgeable about nature, and are often able to identify animals, plants, weather formations and other occurrences to a T. A person may consider themselves a naturalist even if it is not part of a career.
Do not confuse with naturist, or someone who enjoys nudity.

John, the local naturalist, could identify all of the birdsongs we could hear in the spring.

Naturalist 

A naturalist is someone who lives a natural lifestyle and does not conform to society standards of living, whether that be beauty, health, or anything else. A naturalist may only use natural pure products on their bodies and wear no makeup or makeup with natural ingredients. A naturalist can be a environmentalist who only uses natural materials to lessen their carbon imprint. Naturalists may or may not put foreign chemicals or substances on or inside their bodies. 80% or more of their life consists of consuming whole foods and using plants as a form of medicine. A naturalist lives as nature intended or as close to it as they can in their environment.

One day I met this woman who called herself a naturalist. We were at a special event and she stood out to me because she was the only woman who wasn't wearing any makeup and she wore her hair in two braids, but she looked beautiful and her skin was glowing. I discovered that she only uses natural ingredients. For her skin, she applies 100% shea butter or Coconut oil and she eats a whole food plant- based diet.

Oh, I forgot you were a naturalist. So, what do you do when you have an upset stomach.

"I just drink ginger tea or I suck on a lemon. That will usually settle my stomach faster than conventional medicine would"

Naturalist Bigotry

Prejudice and discrimination perpetrated by philosophical naturalists—those who believe that nature is all that exists and that supernatural or spiritual claims are inherently false—against individuals or groups who hold non‑naturalist beliefs (religious, spiritual, metaphysical, or indigenous). Naturalist bigotry often manifests as the assumption that naturalism is not a philosophical position but simply “reality,” and that anyone who disagrees is irrational, deluded, or intellectually deficient. It uses terms like “superstitious,” “primitive,” or “anti‑science” to dismiss entire worldviews without engagement. Unlike mere disagreement, naturalist bigotry seeks to humiliate, exclude, or silence those whose ontology differs, often in the name of “reason” or “scientific literacy.”

Example: “He told her that her belief in ancestral spirits was ‘embarrassing’ and that no educated person could take it seriously—naturalist bigotry, treating his own metaphysical assumptions as universal truth.”

Naturalist Prejudice

The cognitive bias underlying naturalist bigotry: a reflexive dismissal of any non‑naturalist claim or perspective before examination. The naturalist prejudiced person assumes that naturalism is the only rational framework and that any departure from it signals ignorance, intellectual weakness, or bad faith. This prejudice operates as a mental shortcut, allowing the person to reject alternative ontologies without the effort of understanding them. It often appears in debates about consciousness, morality, or meaning, where naturalist assumptions are treated as self‑evident while other positions are labeled “mystical” or “unscientific.”

Example: “When she mentioned the possibility of non‑physical dimensions, he rolled his eyes and muttered ‘woo’—naturalist prejudice, dismissing an idea without ever engaging its arguments.”
