Frank?

I’m looking around atm in this topic and only you and I have studied/graduated with Uni qualifications. As such I’m more than happy to discuss this further with you.

Note : I will continue to post over/make fun of Drunk and Methra - only because I’m not at all interested in wasting my time with long term dole bludging brain damaged (through alcohol and/or drug abuse) multi Mong trolls.

I wish Brian would turn up to resolve all these disputes -

he has a Doctor of Divinity so he understands religious questions.

Atheism—not believing in gods.

DID Frank graduate from Uni?

I know I did.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/atheism





atheism, in general, the critique and denial of metaphysical beliefs in God or spiritual beings. As such, it is usually distinguished from theism, which affirms the reality of the divine and often seeks to demonstrate its existence. Atheism is also distinguished from agnosticism, which leaves open the question whether there is a god or not, professing to find the questions unanswered or unanswerable.

The dialectic of the argument between forms of belief and unbelief raises questions concerning the most perspicuous delineation, or characterization, of atheism, agnosticism, and theism. It is necessary not only to probe the warrant for atheism but also carefully to consider what is the most adequate definition of atheism. This article will start with what have been some widely accepted, but still in various ways mistaken or misleading, definitions of atheism and move to more adequate formulations that better capture the full range of atheist thought and more clearly separate unbelief from belief and atheism from agnosticism. In the course of this delineation the section also will consider key arguments for and against atheism.

So?

Atheism is not believing in gods. Not just Gawd.

It's possible to not 'believe in' Zeus, without being 'anti-Zeus'.

There's a difference between atheism and antitheism.
