Pseudo-Atheism, this one is for you...

[LivingNumbers6.626]

I find no fault, and further have no refutations for these authors, only for those who accept them as prophets and gods.

I have never heard the argument "atheism is true because 'someone' said so"; i.e, holding up famous atheist authors as prophets and gods. Do you have examples?

Yes, I have a few friends who are atheist and treat authors like these as the now-all-say-all. They are usually the same type of persons who find themselves in and out of faith their entire life. But if you are asking for verifiable resources, I have nothing but experience to offer.

As sure as the sky is blue, we could agree that being atheist is quite the extraordinary thought process. Atheism is not just a lack of belief but it should also be a well calculated and thought out thought process. Atheism should not be "I don't believe in God (gods)."

Have to say, I stopped reading right here. Sorry, but you don't get to dictate what atheism is to anyone else. Not believing in god(s) is plenty good enough for most of us.

Please correct me so I can understand, are we believing in no gods for the sake of the idea, or because we have used our mental faculties to discern truth from rubbish?

You're right, I don't have the right to define atheism, but when those who call themselves "atheist" and degrade others simply due to belief warrants the argument thereof. I do not wish to associate myself with atheists who refuse to see common sense and empathy to contrary ideas and the thinkers who hold them.
