Thanks maelstrom -
Atheism is then seen as a kind if default then?
Not just in analytical philosophy but when a human is born...
So this default position cannot affect any behaviour in anyone.
Or it can but its not the atheism but wot did it...
If someone changed back to being atheist their agnostic view on the world (I.e. a view on the world that neither accepts or denies the possibility of God) would have no effect in their behaviour.
If you can't have an agnostic view on the world then answer me this: what do -you- call a view on the world that neither accepts nor rejects the possibility of God existing? Then substitute the term "agnostic view on the world" with your preferred terminology
Right - Im going to stop using the term atheist as it is used in UK philosophy circles (as it has a broader meaning here that would be to confusing and unclear in philosophy) and Im going to start using the term agnostic for agnostics instead of atheists. So I must ask - an antitheist - does it have a pretty broad meaning or is it now being used to mean denial of existence of God? Or does it mean even if there is God I am against the idea of following the creator's guidance?
Or does it also mean agnostic? I.e. anti(before) theist like being in a state before believing in God.
How do you use these words here?
