Question for "Hard Atheists" - Do You Oppose Religion In General?
#31
RE: Question for "Hard Atheists" - Do You Oppose Religion In General?
Quote:I always thought that a Hard Atheist is someone who says "There is DEFINITELY without a shadow of a doubt no supernatural god(s)", while a soft atheist is one who says "It is incredibly improbable that god(s) exists".


Yes and no.


Hard: 'there is no god/ I believe there is no god" Positive claims,attracting the burden of proof.

Soft /weak " I do not believe in gods". Most common reason 'lack of credible evidence' Opinions on how likely the existence of god vary,and are not implied by soft atheism. Soft atheism makes no claims so has no burden of proof.
