Atheism, Scientific Atheism and Antitheism

[helyott]

The word Atheism is coming from the ancient greek : A = without Theos = God.
An Atheist is somebody living whithout god.
Some antitheists are looking religious people as superstitious one's.

Not quite complete.

Atheism is a ternary form derived in one of the following ways:
1) (a + theos) + ism = the belief or doctrine that there is no God
2) a + (theos + ism) = a + (theism) = the lack of a belief in or doctrine about God

(1) is usually called "hard atheism" and (2) is called "soft atheism."

Keep in mind that there were no accidental "happen not to believe" when the term was first coined. There could only at that time have been a willful refusal to believe.

You don't need to believe that there is no god to be an atheist.
You just have to live without a god.
For me atheism isn't a believe that there is no god, it s to state that there is no necessary to have a god to have a good life.
For an atheist god isn't a necessary hypothesis.

Some antitheists have sex with lizards. Some antitheists are nazis who think the earth is flat. Statements about groups based on that kind of weasel words are pointless.

I don't know antitheist that have such kind of practice. But if you know some antitheist like this, i believe they are theist who ignore themself as theist.
When i wrote that some antitheists are looking religious people as superstitious one's, i should say that they are fighting against religion that are compared with a kind of middle age believe.
