Atheism is not a reaction to religion.
We are all born atheists. That includes Muslims, Buddists, Hindus, etc.
I dont think so, if Religion didn't exist would we still all be Atheists? Or if there were no Atheists would there be Theists?
?????????????? If religion didn't exist!!!!! What does that mean? Religion today equals more than 10,000 variations of thought.
Every person on this planet is born an Atheist. A one year old child has no knowledge of any god or gods. However in religious families once speach and written communication skills are developed the religious parents/teachers/clergy prey on that child and enforce their beliefs.
There is no denying this.
The Australian Aboriginal is a very primitive people and when discovered by explorers some 230 years ago, was seen to be somewhat savage.
They did not house themselves, they did not have a written language and their tools were no better than stone-age europeans.
