Quote:1. What do you believe about God? There is no evidence for your god or any of the other thousands of gods invented by man.
2. What do you believe about the universe? I don't have to believe; it exists
3. What do you believe about the nature of human beings? Evidence of history suggests that most will look to get away with whatever they can get away with.
4 What do you believe about life and death? There is no need for "belief" ( you seem hung up on that concept). These are two states and I have no trouble differentiating them.
5. How do we get knowledge? I find the scientific method to be far superior than reading a book of iron age fairy tales.
6. How do you determine right and wrong? A good way to start is to examine the legal codes in whatever society you happen to be a member.
7. What is the meaning of history? "History is a lie agreed upon." - Napoleon Bonaparte.
8. If you have a specific religion or recognized belief system you belong to, please state what it is. (ex. Athiest, Buddhist, Agnostic, etc)
Atheism is not a religion or belief system. It is the absence of such nonsense. "Bald" is not a hair color, young fellow.
