Questions for both sides.

RE: Questions for both sides.
(January 23, 2013 at 1:59 am)Justcurious Wrote: Atheists: I have three questions.
1. Is there an organized group of atheists that has a global presence?
2. For what reason do you go about and try to disprove the beliefs of the theists?
3. Isn't the belief/knowledge that there is without a doubt no God/gods also faith based? ( I don't just mean the Christian God, but the existence of higher beings in general, and please don't bring up the stupid flying spaghetti monster argument).

1. Nope, nor should there be. Atheism is the answer to a single question: do you believe in a god? There is nothing else to it, that means there is nothing to organize a group around.

2. Because they, as a group, attempt to shove their beliefs down my throat and the throat of society. Their beliefs are harmful to rationality. They've earned it.

3. Virtually nobody makes that claim so the question is moot.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
