Philosophical Underpinnings for Rejecting God
June 1, 2015 at 12:54 pm
(May 31, 2015 at 10:18 am)learncritic Wrote: Guys. Hello.

I understand that Atheism is a rejection of existence of God, or more broadly speaking (and correct me if I am wrong) rejection of all metaphysical realities. For example, Afterlife, Angels, Heaven/Hell, Satan, etc.

But what is the philosophical underpinning for rejection of God?

Is it Naturalism? Empiricism? Materialism?

Thanks.

I am an Atheist but I have not rejected God. God would have to be real in order for me to reject it. I do however, reject the idea of God. This is based completely on the lack of evidence.

This is not a philosophical issue but rather a logical one. It is not logical to believe in something without evidence.
