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 simply 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]

From wikipedia that.

You are now changing the meaning of the word 'belief'.

You could reasonably argue that anything anyone thinks about anything is a belief. I believe this spoon is a beautiful woman. I believe that pigeon on the roof is Englebert Humperdinck.

You have changed the debate from that of theism vs atheism to that of pedants arguing about the true meaning of words.

Do I believe that Man Utd are the best team in the world, or do I just think this? Or is it just my opinion? What about the guy who disagrees with me, is it his 'belief' that Man Utd are not the best team in the world?

You thought you were being clever but you've just shown yourself up. You've been exposed and YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF.

at this retard in the OP saying that "science is their religion"

Science isnt our religion you cunt. We tend to accept scientific FACT over Theological SPECULATION. Any human with half a fucking active brain should do the same thing. If anything, logic is our "religion"...you know, the ability to put 2 and 2 together and realize that this world wasnt created out of a magical ball of fucking clay.

lol @ picking out a random google definition that is outdated to what Atheism actually means (linguistically). I can do that too.

Also, the 'a' in atheist derives from the greek for 'without'. Atheism is 'without belief'. It is NOT a belief system, it is the rejection of one on logical and rational grounds.

It's really not a difficult concept and it shouldn't have taken you 3 pages and counting to understand it.

Like I said, EXPOSED.

Did you even read the definition of belief? You just pissed all over your own argument.

Numpty is too good for you. I'll have a think and come up with something.

See if you can point out the absurdity in here.

Rejection of something simply means a rejection of something. I reject your ideas as I see no basis for them in reality. The burden of proof is not on me.

Evidence of something on Google doesn't falsify something. Solid understanding and logic based on that understanding does, which you clearly lack.

What? You people are completely nuts. Atheism is the belief of no God. We don't believe in God, and not believing in God is a belief. I believe that when we die that is it. There is no heaven, or hell. These are beliefs that are most commonly associated with Atheism. You people are total fools. Atheist have morals, and principles, or beliefs that have nothing to do with God, or any sustained monotheistic religions. We as Atheist believe that life can exist without God. That my friend is why Atheism is a belief. You keep talking about how Atheism is "without", yes without GOD, you child. Just because I don't believe in God doesn't make what I do believe not a belief. You are wrong again.

Those are two different definitions you moron. Read the second definition. It has nothing to do with "deities", or God. This is priceless. Meaning your stupidity.

Not believing in God.

Not believing.

Recognise these words?


"Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction."

You just don't really understand what I'm getting at. Atheism is the rejection of an opinion. A very particular opinion.
