I’m wondering if this is a universal truth (or close to a universal truth) about people who use the descriptor…so what better place to ask it than an Internet Atheist Forum…and what better people to ask than people who use the descriptor?
Do any of you know people who use the descriptor “atheist” to describe themselves, but who do not subscribe to at least one of the two items mentioned above?
Is it your opinion that asserting one or both is universal to people who apply the descriptor to themselves?
For me, the only reason there is agnosticism in the Modern World is how corrupt and non-sensical the Christian faith is. If there was no Trinity and Resurrection, I bet you will see the number of self-prclaimed atheists/agnostics drop by half.
Right. The Trinity and the Resurrection account for 50% of the non-belief in the world.
