@shizuyanahui: @✞𝙞𝙩𝙯.𝙙𝙞𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨✞ Atheism is the absence of belief, or the rejection of belief, in the existence of a god or gods. Key Distinctions • Belief vs. Knowledge: Atheism deals with belief (whether you believe a god exists), whereas agnosticism deals with knowledge (whether the existence of a god can or is known). A person can be an agnostic atheist—someone who does not hold a belief in any gods while also not claiming to know for certain that no gods exist. • Negative vs. Positive Atheism: • Negative (or weak) atheism is simply the absence of belief in a deity, without necessarily asserting that no gods could ever exist. • Positive (or strong/hard) atheism is the active assertion that no god or gods exist. Common Misconceptions • Not a religion: Atheism is not a dogmatic belief system, a church, or a religion; it is a single stance on a specific question—whether a deity exists. • Not a moral code: Atheism does not dictate a person's values, ethics, or political views. Most atheists base their ethics on human empathy, reason, social well-being, and secular philosophies rather than divine command. • Not Satanism: Atheism is distinct from religious Satanism, though some non-theistic groups use Satan as a symbolic figure of rebellion against authority rather than an entity they worship. You can read a detailed overview of the topic on the Wikipedia Atheism Page or learn more about core perspectives through American Atheists.
