If you have time please take a moment to help me understand more of the atheist view. These questions are intended for those who espouse the atheist view but if you are from another belief system feel free to answer.Atheism is just a lack of belief in the supernatural, it's not a positive position. It has no views, no philosophies, no system of belief whatsoever. "Atheism" is the sound people make when someone says there's an invisible sky daddy looking out for them.
