Atheism is the view that God does not exist or the absence of belief in the existence of gods.
So there would be no belief in a superhuman controlling power--especially in some sort of God--and no faith and worship.
Religion did not work for them and religious beliefs were fundamentally incompatible with what they would observe around them.
They would live their lives as though there is nobody watching over them. They believe that life has no purpose or meaning, it just is.

Atheists are often among the most intelligent and scientifically literate people in any society.

"Make the most of your life, as it's probably the only one you'll have."

They don't believe in a supreme being is what makes them aethist. That's like saying no one who has committed murder is a christian.Because a christian would not committ murder.It is the same fear of christianity that drives the hate by atheist here in this nation.Otherwise why would they bother to even worry about christians;because they don't vote as you would like? Atheist just can get over the fact that they are getting no where because people have seen what they are capable of .

Believing in God, believing that you are God, believing that science & technology or any other philosophy makes you godlike (= enlightened) is all the same to me.

What are you talking about?
I don't know any atheists who hate christians. Where do you get this information?
If you would read any of the threads, we simply want you to keep your religious beliefs out of the laws of the land.
Believe what you want, for you.

What is it that you fear we are capable of? Rational thought? You might try it sometime, it's amazing what results you might find.

Say what? Fear of Christianity? Hate by atheists?

Ooohhhh wait...I see what you did there. You're trying to give us a really good belly laugh. Great! YOU SUCCEEDED! I'm laughing my butt off and I've gone and spewed coffee into my keyboard!!

You're good, you're very good. You could be a stand-up comedian! You are SO FUNNY that you've convinced me to convert to Christianity!
