Is atheism merely a belief system too?
added by herzmeister Jun 3 '10 at 9:27

This is one of my favorite theist talking points: it is simple fallacy: it takes a belief not to believe; and, stems from a conflation of "I do not believe in X", and "I believe there is no X". – Evan Carroll Jun 19 '10 at 15:51

I would say that an agnostic is more of a non-stamp collector. Since an atheist acts on his knowledge that there is no God or god etc, it sure seems like a belief system. I guess it could be called a thought system. BTW, belief system != religion. – d-_-b Jul 22 '10 at 7:06

In much the same way people must have faith that there are [no] aliens? – Nerdling Jul 25 '10 at 1:42
@Nerdling - right, so if you believe that do you accept it on faith? Or do you always carry an element of doubt? I'm wondering if it impossible to be an atheist (or believer) without always having some level of doubt. Kind of related to Witek's question, "Shouldn't sceptics be agnostics instead of atheists?" – Wikis Jul 25 '10 at 7:29
i think "faith" and "belief" get, in this case, more or less intentionally confused with "reasonable assumption". the belief that fairies exist simply doesn't have the same credibility as the reasonable assumption that they don't, just because i can't ultimately prove the latter does not mean one has to take it "on faith" in order to overcome the last 0.0001% of reasonable doubt. in fact one doesn't even have to (or even could) be 100% sure of anything, 99.9999% is a perfectly reasonable degree of certainty to justify a firm position, because this is as certain as it could possibly get. – hurz Aug 12 '10 at 22:45

This, after I've thought about it, is certainly the type of question that will be good, but by itself is unanswerable. What's a miracle? Who is defining it? Which miracle, since they may have different explanations? I think a better question would be something specific, like "How can the 'miracle' of [example] be explained?" – Beska Jul 15 '10 at 13:03

this is a good question because it might yield different opinions among atheists, not the usual atheist-vs-theist-setup. - - - personally i have come to the conclusion that there would be nothing that could turn me into a theist, mainly for logical and moral reasons (occams razor: if i saw a truly astonishing thing defying natural laws, the assumption that i have gone crazy would require much less explanation than the assumption that a divine being was responsible | even if the universe was created by a concious designer, it can hardly be considered ethically perfect and worthy of worship). – hurz Aug 9 '10 at 17:52

No, but the reasons are different.

this question might yield an uncomfortable answer: it has to be more common for atheists to become theists than the other way around, simply because there are theists. newborns don't believe in god(s), because they couldn't possibly know the concept. thus they lack any belief in god(s) and are therefore atheists (although, by the same argument, not strong atheists). – hurz Aug 13 '10 at 15:51

Where do morals come from if not God or the Bible?
added by JustinStolle Jul 12 '10 at 15:22
link
Self. They come from accepting that we are each capable of behaving in any way we choose. If we choose harmful acts, so might anyone/everyone else. So it would be most productive to choose beneficial acts and encourage the same from others. It might benefit some to destroy others but unless you'd accept being in the group being destroyed, maybe it wouldn't be wise to choose that path since, if it's possible for you to destroy, it's possible for others to destroy you. Mutually assured destruction isn't optimally beneficial. Working together is so make it possible by treating others well. – nicerobot Jul 25 '10 at 16:43

i think a question about rebuttals for one specific argument should only make it a good example, if the argument itself is sound (this one is, if 1. and 2. aret true, 3. follows) and not as obviously fallacious as this one is: neither of the premises (1. and 2.) are true (or rather shown or obvious to be true), therefore the conclusion (3.) doesn't follow. 1. how so? why do objective (or rather absolute) moral values require a specific supernatural entity? 2. you haven't shown there are objective or absolute moral values and history teaches us there might not be. – hurz Aug 15 '10 at 9:36

People shouldn't force their beliefs on anyone. As an atheist I don't like it when religious people push their views on me... so why should I do the same to them. There is no reason to use coercion when you could have a ration discussion over the topic. – Matthew Whited Jun 24 '10 at 14:36
@Matthew: It doesn't necessarily matter whether you would choose to persue this action. The question is "is this question on-topic?" The answer, I think, regardless of whether it is a good or moral idea, is yes. – Beska Jun 28 '10 at 12:52
Just keep in mind that a "not a good example" question is something that is unrelated and will most likely not going to be asked. If you think the question isn't something that should be discussed and has strong chance of being asked, it's "off-topic". In my opinion this question is for sure going to be asked. Please read this, before you vote : area51.stackexchange.com/faq#questions – HoLyVieR Jun 29 '10 at 12:25
@HoLyVier: It's not just that it's likely or unlikely to be asked..."not a good example" could be a number of other things as well. For instance, even if something is likely to be asked, but is worded poorly or is perhaps inflamatory or insulting, it would not be a good example. There are only 5 "great on-topic examples" or "great off-topic examples" per proposed site, and they should ideally represent an excellent cross section of what is relevant and desired (or not desired, as the case may be). A question can be on topic or off topic, and still not be "great". – Beska Jun 29 '10 at 13:02

Again, I think this is a good question. A great deal of the doctrine in theism (in most of the western religions, anyway) is about persuading non-believers to become believers. Discussing the same issues (i.e. persuasion) from atheist grounds, and using rationality and good manners, seems to be a fair thing to do. In addition, it places atheism in the social/cultural sphere, where it belongs. – CesarGon Sep 26 '10 at 9:11

I was intending "objective" to have a slightly different meaning than that...but I see your point. Let me try to change the wording. – Beska Jul 15 '10 at 18:19
I do not think this is a good question because I see religious texts split into 2 parts: how the world was made/works and ethics. These are often intertwined, but the distinction can be made. The ethics do not necessarily define the "religion" (I could be an atheist, but subscribe to Christian ethics). Based on the description "skeptics of higher power", this Q&A would be about the "how the world was made/works", and not ethics. Therefore I think this question would not fit. – earlNameless Jul 22 '10 at 2:14

How is faith different than belief? Isn't science just another religion?
added by Ether Aug 7 '10 at 19:34
link
off-topic: as science and atheism are not synonymous, so also religion and science are not mutually exclusive. re-word? the core question "how is x different than y?" alone is not a good example, as it only allows for subjective/argumentative responses. – mfg Aug 13 '10 at 19:09
@mfg: I disagree. Questions of the form "how is x different to y" make a lot of sense, and they are often valuable. They not always lead to subject or argumentative responses; for example: "how is 5 different to 4". In discussing atheism (the focus of this Q&A forum), I think that comparing it to other ideas and positions is a very valuable resource that we should not dismiss. – CesarGon Sep 29 '10 at 9:37
@CesarGon Sorry. My response is terribly worded; as is the question. The word 'belief' in this question is too vague and could be misconstrued between its two different meanings, 1) an irrational belief such as faith or urban myth or gossip, and 2) a rational belief based on physical/empirical confirmation/validation. At any rate, with the simplistic wording allotted to this question it is at best a poor example of an on-topic question that would allow only for argumentative responses that talked past each other because some people would be replying to definition #1, other to #2. – mfg Oct 12 '10 at 20:48

@mfg: I see your point. I think this question would be clearer if the first part ("How is faith different than belief?") were omitted, and only the second ("Isn't science just another religion?") were left. Asking about the difference between science and religion is a better question, I think. – CesarGon Oct 15 '10 at 16:19

Shouldn't sceptics be agnostics instead of atheists?
added by Witek Jul 14 '10 at 13:41

this is similar to the question 'Is atheism merely a belief system, too?', in that it assumes that atheism means 'belief in the nonexistence of deities'. in fact atheism is merely the absence of belief in deities, there is no "active" or "concious" element required and this definition includes many of the agnostics. however, there are numerous "strong atheists" (including me) who actively reject theism for logical and moral reasons. a skeptic should judge a point of view based on the reasoning behind it and withhold judgement until there are convincing reasons for any side. – hurz Aug 9 '10 at 18:15

@mfg - perhaps rephrasing would help, "if atheism is right, why do there need to be arguments for it?" If theism is inherently wrong, and the atheist is correct in his understanding of the world, it's irrelevant to argue for his viewpoint. Not trying to be disrespectful of anyone here, this is an honest question I have. – warren Aug 14 '10 at 0:07

I might rephrase as: "What is the best way to argue that the burden of proof is on Theists to prove that <supernatural deity> exists?" – mfg Oct 12 '10 at 20:51
@mfg - nice reword, I've incorporated it – warren Oct 13 '10 at 13:01

Example: Theists talk about community and belonging where as atheists are focused on proof and reality, – Robin Vessey Jul 29 '10 at 4:30
Who said Theist aren't focused on proof and reality? A better example might be Creation vs Evolution. or a less heated topic, they have different motivation for things they do in everyday life. – Jack C Buel Jul 30 '10 at 16:15
