Atheism the unscientific belief (part one, two, and three)

[jenny1972]

of course every person has beliefs , as in every person believes a certain way to say that atheists are devoid of belief is not true its not true of any person with intelligence if you are able to think then you have beliefs atheists believe in many things they believe in science and the reality they see around them they have political beliefs and beliefs about well everything else , just like all other thinking people do , and concerning God they do not believe that God exists . I think rik what you are arguing is not that they have beliefs but that atheists have a "dogmatic" belief which is most often associated with religious theists and are ' attitudes that are not only based on unproved theories but are also arrogant in nature ' .....

the thing is that not all atheists are the same while you might find an atheist with a dogmatic belief system i think most atheists are very skeptical regarding all dogma . to assume that all people who do not believe in God (which is what atheism is simply a disbelief in God) are dogmatic in their beliefs of other things , in other beliefs , is not correct because not everyone within any group all think alike . a more realistic claim would be that ' some atheists have dogmatic beliefs ' and give the reasons why and challenge those dogmatic beliefs thats youve noticed that some atheists have . ( the belief that all atheists think a certain way is actually a dogmatic belief ) humans have a tendency i think to label and make assumptions about people or groups of people but we should all make an effort to learn and grow and challenge our assumptions
