4. There is no purpose to anything.
5. Evolution is possible via chance and environment only.
What has got a disbelief in gods have to do with any of those?
Quote:A lot of atheists adopt these views because for them there is either god/no-god and I think the truth is in-between.
That doesn't make it a doctrine.
Quote:A lot of atheists merely have faith that they are correct. They adopt atheism only to escape the confines of church-imposed morality. I am not a man of faith, not theistic faith, not atheistic faith.
Of course, I realize all of the members of this group may have nothing at all to do with my generalizations. I'm simply trying to answer the question quoted above.
Well I'd say you are wrong. Atheism has absolutely nothing to do with world views or doctrines. It is just one thing, not believing in gods.
