Why Atheism?

[Darkstar]

I have a few questions I would like to ask that hound me concerning the philosophical belief known as atheism.

Atheism is not necessarily a belief. It is more often simply not believing god exists than believing he definitely doesn't.

1. What makes you all different from any enitity believing world views, when in all technical (if you're intellectually honest) are merely replacing *insert enitity here* with nature.

Not necessarily anything. Perhaps the difference is insomuch as that we lack the religious aspect of our lives (though there are some atheistic religions such as Buddhism that would be an exception).

2. In truth and honesty how do you claim objectivity when inductive reasoning use as a means to justify a full naturalist point of view?

I'm not sure what you're asking, but I will say that unless the supernatural makes itself known in a public way, there isn't any real reason to believe in it. Even if we couldn't directly observe the supernatural, we could observe the otherwise physically impossible effects it has on the natural.

3. My Final question is simple, when inductively we know things do not spring out of nothing (ex nihilio) how is taking the stance nature did still not considered faith in it most general definition?

We don't know this. Quantum fluctuations contradict the idea that something cannot come from nothing. Of course, quantum fluctuations are not fully understood by any means. It also depends on what definition of faith you are using. For the "believe with no evidence" version, not quite as there is evidence (albeit not fully understood yet), for the "believe with no proof", then sure, but it would be difficult to prove that the earth isn't about to blow up, there is simply no reason to think that it is.

Atheists don't necessarily claim the universe came from nothing, though. I honestly don't know what it came from or if it always existed, albeit in some other form. Atheists simply reject belief in god. Anything else is still up for grabs.
