Arbor Ballroom Analysis: Atheism worldwide in decline By Uwe Siemon-Netto UPI Religious Affairs Editor Gurat, France, Mar. 1 (UPI) There seems to be a growing consensus around the globe that godlessness is in trouble. "Atheism as a theoretical position is in decline worldwide," Munich theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg told United Press International Tuesday. His Oxford colleague Alister McGrath agrees. Atheism's "future seems increasingly to lie in the private beliefs of individuals rather than in the great public domain it once regarded as its habitat," he wrote in the U.S. magazine, Christianity Today. Two developments are plaguing atheism these days. One is that it appears to be losing its scientific underpinnings. The other is the historical experience of hundreds of millions of people worldwide that atheists are in no position to claim the moral high ground. Writes Turkish philosopher Harun Yahya, "Atheism, which people have tried to for hundreds of years as 'the ways of reason and science,' is proving to be mere irrationality and ignorance."

84. Atheism And Pantheism: Religious Atheism Parallels between atheism and pantheism, with pantheistic quotes from leadingatheists Hume, La Mettrie, d Holbach, Shelley, Sagan. http://members.aol.com/pantheism0/atheists.htm

Atheism and pantheism: religious atheists Principles of scientific pantheism* by Paul Harrison. Featured, Dec. 12, 1996. Are you a pantheist? Find out now at Scientific Pantheism. Pantheists don't just want to be negative about Gods and heavens beyond this world. They want to be enthusiastically positive about this life, this earth, this universe. Many famous atheists have had the same feelings. Theists and other critics have often regarded pantheism as atheism in disguise. Yet atheists often mistrust pantheism and see it as theism in disguise. Some atheists are so concerned with combatting the enemy - theism - that they leap to the opposite extreme, reducing life to blind selfish genes or the universe to bleak meaninglessness. But many atheists - even among the best known and most militant - have also had powerful feelings towards nature and the universe: feelings of reverence, love, awe and sense of belonging to nature and the material universe. Below on this page you will find quotes that show these feelings very clearly, from Hume, d'Holbach, la Mettrie, Shelley, and Sagan. They are so close to the feelings that believers have towards their deities, that they may be called religious. This is exactly the position of scientific pantheism.

See Online Courses Search Agnosticism / Atheism Affirming Humanism Dateline: September 23, 1998 Considering the level and intensity of attacks levied against humanism by religious conservatives in the media, from the pulpit, and on the internet, one might be lead to think that there is something to all of their allegations. But is there? In an intermittent series of essays, I intend to address a variety of those allegations and examine whether or not they enjoy a solid foundation. One common misconception which is often seen being bandied about is the idea that humanism embodies some sort of dogmatic creed . Most humanists will find this laughable, but they should not shrug it off too quickly. Enough people actually believe it that we really need to deal with it. There are any number of documents, historical and contemporary, which attempt to communicate what humanism is all about - are these creeds? Are they dogmatic? Some definitely think that such documents "read like creeds," and then proceed to assume that if they read like creeds, then they must be creeds. Why? The simplest explanation would be that they are so used to statements of beliefs actually

86. Who Is An Atheist? Agnostic? Theist? - Some Definitions This is just one example of a theist incorrectly defining atheism. atheism isnot a system (ferocious or otherwise), it says nothing about what is above us, http://www.2think.org/hii/atheism.shtml

What is atheism? (also some thoughts on theism and agnosticism) The thoughts expressed below are mine. I haven't directly used any material as a source in writing this definitional essay although I should give credit to George Smith and the paper "Freethought Today" for the insights they provided when I read them over a year before writing this. I'm sure there are other sources that I have read in the past which have influenced the thoughts below, but they don't come to mind at the moment. Some of the most poorly understood words are: theism atheism , and agnosticism . In the following paragraphs, I will attempt to provide a definitional framework for the three words. I'm confident that many people who read this will still choose to define the words differently than I. The purpose of the definitions is not to establish some sort of absolute truth but to provide a working definition that at least I can point to and say, "this is what I think the definition is, and this is how I use these words". If you find the definitions useful, feel free to 'label' yourself using them and direct anyone to this site who doesn't know why you call yourself by one (or more) of these terms. Perhaps the biggest reason the above words are misunderstood is that theists tend to define atheism, atheists tend to define theism, and

87. The Unreasonableness Of Atheism Sets out and responds to fifteen reasons for unbelief often cited by atheists. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rossuk/c-athism.htm

The Unreasonableness of Atheism and other barriers to belief Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Love never works coercively, it only works persuasively. The unreasonableness of Atheism: If the definition of an atheist is: someone who believes that there is NO God . Then we can ask 'how does he know?' In order to know that there is no God he must know all that there is to know. And therefore he would be God. But we know that an atheist is just like us, a man with imperfect knowledge. However in claiming to be an atheist he is setting himself up, instead of God, as a kind of mini-god, since he claims that there is no God but is making himself to be a god with all knowledge. This is unreasonable. However in practise there might be other emotional rather than logical reasons why a person chooses atheism. Disillusion with established religion, the problem of evil, personal tragedy, fear, personal comfort and pleasure etc. A much more reasonable position is that of the agnostic who claims that he does not know whether there is a God and is open to the evidence.

MIA Encyclopedia of Marxism : Glossary of Terms At Atheism Atheism is the system of views denying the existence of God and usually other religious ideas such as life after death. Inasmuch as the concept of God generally represents the dominant forms of consciousness of an age, atheism is historically associated with political radicalism. Heraclitus Democritus and Epicurus ) and is generally associated with philosophical materialism . (See also Monotheism Theism Deism Agnosticism and Pantheism The ancient philosophers listed above speculated that phenomena had natural causes, in opposition to animist or other religious or teleological beliefs. This kind of atheism was necessarily naïve and speculative as they did not have a sufficient basis of empirical knowledge to develop a consistently atheistic view. The Middle Ages in Europe were dominated by the Church and atheism made little progress, while in China atheism experienced a series of setbacks and forward steps, where no church ever gained a serious foothold. Progressive social currents tended to attack the legitimacy of the Church in Europe or to restrict the relevance of Church doctrine, unable to reject the existence of God outright. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, the golden age of Islam embraced questioning and all forms of scientific pursuit, thus Islam never faced a direct philosophical assault. The European assault against Christian Theism : Saint Augustine for example, was the first Christian to question the literal interpretation of the Bible, opening the way for

Make it known on the Discussion Forum If there is anything as misunderstood and misrepresented as atheism, it must be agnosticism. There are many misconceptions about agnosticism, agnostics, and the reasons why anyone would adopt a position of agnosticism in the first place. This is unfortunate, because whether agnosticism is conceived of as a philosophy or simply an isolated position on the existence of gods, it is eminently reasonable and defensible. The definition of agnosticism is one of the more contentious issues - even many agnostics continue to hold to the idea that agnosticism represents some sort of "third way" between atheism and theism. Not only evidence from standard dictionaries but also a careful comparison between agnosticism and other ideas like theism and atheism reveal that calling oneself an agnostic by no mean excludes being either an atheist or a theist.

Christianity was created by the Romans as a tool, originally intended to be used by Roman aristocrats and priests to keep the slaves of Rome humble, fearful, hopeful, and submissive. Slavery was paramount to Roman aristocracy and to the Roman economy. Christianity emphasizes poverty, humility, submission, and servitude, with the promise of a glorious afterlife in heaven, but only following a lifetime of suffering obedient servility on earth.

97. Atheism, Christian Theism, And Rape atheism, Christian Theism, and Rape by Michael Martin. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/michael_martin/rape.html

PAID ADVERTISEMENTS Library Modern Michael Martin : Atheism, Christian Theism, and Rape (1997) Atheism, Christian Theism, and Rape (1997) Michael Martin One of the more dramatic debating maneuver used by Christian apologists against atheists is to argue that atheists can provide no objective reason for not raping people. This startling claim follows from the apologists' wider claim that atheists can provide no objective moral reasons for anything. In this paper I will examine both claims in context of the debate between atheism and theism. I will maintain first that the theists' assume without good argument that an atheistic morality must be subjective. Second, I will argue that the theistic position on rape does not escape a special case of the Euthyphro dilemma:[ ] Does God disapprove of rape because it is bad or is rape bad because God disapproves of it? On the first interpretation of the dilemma theists can provide objective reasons for not raping, but so can atheists. On the second interpretation, theists can provide no objective reasons for not raping so that if atheists cannot, they are no worse off than theists. To be sure, some theists attempt to escape from the dilemma by appealing to God's character. But I will argue that they do not succeed and in fact beg the question against atheists. Finally, I will maintain that the Biblical view of rape should not be our moral guide: Not only does the Bible seem to condone rape on certain occasions but its attitude toward female victims of rape is insensitive and chauvinistic.

Jewish Usenet Discussion Groups Einstein's Atheism http://web.archive.org/web/19981202052016/http://www.california.com/~rpcman/EINSTEIN.HTM I think part of the problem of theists wanting to believe that famous scientists such as Einstein and Hawking believe in their god comes from the common quote: "God does not play dice with the Universe." To those who already wish that Einstein believed in god, Einstein's mere mention of "god" here is all the "assurancance" they need. But to truly understand what he meant when he said that, one has to dig further into Einstein's views toward god and religion. Scientists often informally use "god" to mean the laws of nature. In a (non-religious) discussion w/ another xian, I brought up this quote: "Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."
