Default What is Atheism all about?

Is it the religious belief in spontaneous, causeless, sourceless, purposeless, meaningless existence?

It is simply not believing in the existence of god or gods.

Atheism is simply the opinion that there is no god, no higher power.

No, it's purely set up to wind up trolls and religious nuts on Yahoo. Before the Internet, we were all bible thumps.

Wanna hug?

None of what you mentioned has anything necessarily to do with atheism. Atheism is the non-acceptance in the idea of a god/gods.

its not a religion but rather a state of mind or lifestyle kinda they believe in things that have scientific and medical evidence to prove that something exists.

It is the belief that there are no gods.

Edit:

Whoever thumbed me down is a schmuck.
That's what atheism means, deal with it, idiot.

An atheist is a person that believes there is no God. The definition goes no farther.

Like anyone else, an atheist may believe or disbelieve many other things.

Is life more meaningful if you devote yours to one that doesn't exist?

No. It's the state of not having a belief in any God or gods. It is the explicit *lack* of religious belief (in most cases; some religions, like certain sects of Buddhism, do not require any belief in deities).

Naahhh...

"spontaneous"
That'd be the imaginary space man believers.

"causeless, sourceless"
That'd be your your imaginary space man thingies.

"purposeless, meaningless existence?"
Do you honestly think your life is gonna be relevant in one billion billion years or so?
No one but an insane person would think their life was gonna be relevant in one billion billion years or so.

You're not insane are you Glitch?

well atheist believe there is no god. and it is down to religious people prove the existence of god and not on atheists. and you cant prove that god exists by saying "because it says so in the bible" as that is not proof.

and why does not believing in a mystical creature who allegedly created the world lead to a meaningless existence? most atheists i know lead a much more meaningful and happier existence then the religious people i know

It's about not believing in gods, and correcting people when they lie about people who don't believe in gods.

Like you just did.

Atheism and theism are not religions.. but their denominations are..

finding a ordinary plain atheist is extremely rare these days.

it isn't even ONE of those things, but it's not as if you'd change your mind anyway.
