A different definition of atheism. Atheism isn't simply lack of belief in god/s
#15
RE: A different definition of atheism. Atheism isn't simply lack of belief in god/s
It's easy to get this impression because so many Western, English-speaking atheists are also rational skeptics. That is not at all true of most Eastern, non-English-speaking atheists. There's a big difference between a population that largely had to think about their theism and discard it for what they consider sound reasons and a population that largely was raised to be atheist because communist regimes imposed it.

Not to mention Raellians.
