The Problem With Atheism

[pocaracas]

That strikes me as the same bad idea!

So what should we call people who do not believe the same non-sense as all those believers in gods?

People! That's all they are! Even saying they're atheists doesn't explain much about their beliefs anymore than calling someone a theist does. A Theist can mean any number of things. We don't know what needs to get discussed until the ideas are presented. The title of the person sharing them is really quite irrelevant. Don't ya think?

The world is not ready for that... well, maybe Europe is!

I take this all steps further to be more clear. I do not tell people that I am atheistic. In replacement of that, I tell people that I am arreligious. Not only do I not believe in a god, I do not live by beliefs or stone law at all. I live by rational discourse and emotions, and I will be openly honest about that. That is because I am religiously nihilistic, even morally; yet I do appreciate morality and ethics for what they are but not in the traditional sense because I am progressive.

People like me can say that We are ex or post religious (if You were ever religious before), and it has a nicer ring to it as if religion was just a phase and You moved on without it (and We do just fine thanks).
