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?
The promoters of religion adopt willingly the position of theists and creationists who evolve almost unharmed from the fight with atheism
for their brainwashing activities.
Do you think that atheism should not use the arm of "God created by man" only because it it is not in line with the scientifical disprove?
I have not still mentioned the aspect of irrational thinking related to the belief in God which I leave for a next thread.
You have not taken any position to the problem of Destiny.
I'm a little unsure of what you mean, so correct me if I misunderstood. I think what you're saying here is that atheists can and should use the argument that God was created by man, even though it is not a scientific argument. Now, although it's a good point, and I support it, I highly doubt that it will be of any use in a debate with a theist. Their beliefs are founded on the idea that God has always been, and an argument which assumes that their God was in fact created by them will hold no water, since it completely undermines their belief system.
