Poll: Can atheism ever be based on faith?
This poll is closed.
Possibly because atheism could be based not only on evidence but also on preference or intuition, this would be faith in atheism.

Never, atheism always contradicts faith. There is no faith without belief in the supernatural.

Is atheism ever a faith?
#12
RE: Is atheism ever a faith?
I don't need further proof of gods non-existence since I have convinced myself based on the evidence that he does not exist.Also,I base my unbelief on comparative religion and cultural studies.I believe religion in general is the creation of man in his ignorance and curiousity to understand the world around him.Especially at a time when the sciences were not as developed as they are today.

Everything that at the time was unexplainable is attributed to god or in some polytheistic societies gods.Now I view religion as mythology but most peoples concept of religion is derived from tradition and societal influences rather than reason and common sense.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
