Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?
#53
RE: Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?
I agree, given what I would consider the most useful definitions.

If you insist that someone must have heard of a god before being "allowed" to lack a belief in it, then that presents a third category. I find this rather pointless though. I tried to coin this "default atheism", as opposed to "cognitive atheism" which means you've heard about it and still lack belief.

We're not born with this nonsense in our heads. But many of us are born with a vulnerability to believe it when we hear it.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
