When you take it back to definitions, atheism isn't making a claim, nor is it a position you take on something. It's simply a default position when you eliminate belief in a God (which is the claim). Similarly, we don't have words for "not believing in tooth fairies"; the only reason there is a word "atheism" is because theism is so prevalent in society.(November 15, 2008 at 1:29 pm)josef rosenkranz Wrote: Does atheism intend to remain a philosophic discussion between academics or does atheism see itself as an ideology meant to be spred between large communities?Careful Josef, atheism isn't an ideology.
