(January 23, 2015 at 12:48 pm)Former Humanist Wrote: The atheistic worldview of materialism and naturalism accounting for all we have including non-material entities we occupy as human beings ; the problem of the animate coming from the inanimate. Has any emphirical scientific evidence come about that now addresses this adequately ? Theres a few other reasons that lead me away from Humanism on a more sociological level . Im open though and would put my Humanist T-shirt back on if credibility in it were restored for me.
Just a quick refresher course, as it seems like you've been reading about atheism on Conservapaedia.
Atheism = lack of belief in god(s). Nothing more. There's no such thing as an "atheistic worldview." You can not believe the god claims and have any worldview you want.
And could you expand on the idea of "non-material entities we occupy as human beings?" Are you talking about a soul? Ghosts? Chakra? What makes you think that there are non-material entities at work in the world?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
