I guess a lot of people don't get that atheists don't have the same book at home that we all revere as sacred. We all have differing views on everything from religion to politics, and just because someone is an atheist doesn't mean there worldview is the same. Truth, in my opinion, is not always permanent. Sometimes the truth changes as we get a better understanding.
Atheism is only a view on the existance or not of a god or gods. It has nothing to say on anything else.
It irks me when people say 'you are an atheist therefore you believe this'
Athesim only means that we dont believe in god, there is no other requirement to being an atheist.
We dont have to believe in the scientific process many do but it is not in fact part of atheism.
That people did not believe was mentioned in the bible and the scientific process was not around at that time.
Did atheists then share our 'world view'?
I think not I think they just DID NOT BELIEVE IN GOD.
Gods, silly idea that belongs in the past.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
