Atheism

Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Atheism is too often defined incorrectly as a belief that there is no God.

Clearly, theistic influence taints these definitions. The fact that dictionaries define Atheism as “there is no God” betrays the (mono)theistic influence. Without the (mono)theistic influence, the definition would at least read “there are no gods.”

Atheism is not a belief system nor is it a religion.

While there are some religions that are atheistic (certain sects of Buddhism, for example), that does not mean that atheism is a religion. To put it in a more humorous way: If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.

# Status in 2023

In recent surveys, Research Center's claim that only about 5% of world population call themselves atheists, but if you ask someone about belief in gods, 11% (maybe 12%) will say they do not believe in gods. Those people are atheists, whether they choose to accept it or not.

Psychologists found that as many as 26% of world population may be atheists. Being an atheist doesn’t mean you’re sure about every theological question, have answers to the way the world was created, or how evolution works. It just means that the you dont believe that gods exist.

Wishing that there was an afterlife, or a creator god, or a specific god doesn’t mean you’re not an atheist. Being an atheist is about what you believe and don’t believe, not about what you wish to be true or would find comforting.

Atheists assert various reasons for their position, including a lack of empirical evidence for deities, or the conviction that the non-existence of deities (in general or particular) is better supported rationally.

### Scientific reasons

Science is based on the observation that the universe is governed by natural laws that can be tested and replicated through repeatable experiments. Science serves as a reliable, rational basis for predictions and engineering (cf. faith and rationality, science and religion). Like scientists, scientific skeptics use critical thinking (cf. the true-believer syndrome) to decide claims, and do not base claims on faith or other unfalsifiable categories.

Religions teach that mankind and the universe were created by one or more deities and that this deity continues to act in the universe. Many people—theists and atheists alike—feel that this view conflicts with the discoveries of modern science (especially in cosmology and astronomy). Many believers in the validity of science, seeing such a contradiction, do not believe in the existence of a deity or deities actively involved in the universe.

Science presents a vastly different view of humankind's place in the universe from theistic religions. Scientific progress has continually eroded the basis for religion.

Atheists often argue that nearly all cultures have their own creation myths and gods, and there is no apparent reason to believe.

### Philosophical and logical reasons

Many atheists point out that in philosophy and science, the default position on any matter is a lack of belief. If reliable evidence or sound arguments are not presented in support of a belief, then the "burden of proof" remains upon believers, not nonbelievers, many atheists assert that they are Atheists simply because they remain unconvinced by theistic arguments and evidence. As such, many atheists have argued against the most famous proposed proofs of God's existence.

### Personal, social, and ethical reasons

Some atheists have found social, psychological, practical, and other personal reasons for their beliefs. Some believe that atheism allows—or even requires—people to take personal responsibility for their actions. In contrast, they feel that many religions blame bad deeds on extrinsic factors and require threats of punishment and promises of reward to keep a person moral and socially acceptable.

Some atheists dislike religions from violence—e.g., warfare, executions, murders, and terrorism—has been justified by religious beliefs and practices.

While a murderer can go to heaven simply by accepting Jesus in some Christian sects, a farmer in a remote Asian countryside will go to hell for not hearing the "good news". Furthermore, some find Hell to be the epitome of cruel and unusual punishment, making it impossible that a good God would permit such a place's existence.

## Strong Atheism

While the 26% of world population may be atheists for the reasons that are listed above , there are Atheists who understand the need to fight and destroy religions.

Strong atheism, often referred to as "antitheism," represents a more assertive stance towards religion and religious beliefs. It is characterized by a desire to actively challenge and dismantle religious institutions and ideologies. Those who align with strong atheism often feel motivated by various reasons to create a world where religion is totaly eradicated.

Writers and philosophers often explore the harms caused by religious dogma, promote critical thinking, and examine the potential benefits of a secular society.

Poets and Musicians create anthems of reason and skepticism that inspire listeners to question religious claims.

Actors and filmmakers produce plays and movies that shed light on the conflicts arising from religious fundamentalism, and showcase characters who find strength and purpose in their secular beliefs.

Strong atheists often engage in activism to promote secularism, human rights, and the separation of religion from public institutions. They organize events, rallies, and debates that encourage open discussions about the impact of religion on society and individuals.

The desire for a free world espoused by strong atheists is driven by a conviction that a society based on reason, evidence, and ethical humanism can lead to greater progress, tolerance, and understanding. These creative voices contribute to the ongoing conversation about the role of religion in our lives and inspire individuals to explore alternative ways of viewing the world.

# History

### Origin

Atheism comes from the Ancient Greek word (Αθεος) where it means "without God" as the letter "A" before the "Θεος" (God) works like denial factor. Like "Απολίτιστος" the letter A before πολίτιστος which means civilized give the word Uncivilized, an other example is the word "Αόρατος" where όρατος means visible and αόρατος means invisible.

In Athens (399 BCE), Socrates faced accusations of atheism for refusing to acknowledge state-recognized gods. Early philosophers like Xenophanes critiqued traditional religious ideas, while Anaxagoras and others faced persecution for their beliefs.

The Sophists of the 5th century BCE challenged Greek norms, with Prodicus proposing that gods were services to human life and Protagoras admitting uncertainty about their existence. Diagoras of Melos became known as the "first atheist" by publicly revealing sacred mysteries. Euhemerus suggested gods were deified rulers, while Epicurus (c. 300 BCE) presented a materialistic philosophy that dismissed divine intervention.

### Illuminati

In 1776 Adam Weishaupt sought to eradicate religion and created The Illuminati espoused the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Weishaupt through his life and work gave birth to Atheism.

Denis Diderot and Thomas Hobbes followed the anti-religious ideas and the French Revolution made France the first Atheist Nation,

Napoleon was the first Atheist leader and the first Atheist Emperor of history. however after the battle of waterloo, christianity was restored in france.

### Liberalism

The French Revolution opened the way for the 19th century movements of Rationalism, Freethought, and Liberalism. Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, was expelled from Oxford University in 1811 for submitting to the Dean an anonymous pamphlet that he wrote titled The Necessity of Atheism. This pamphlet was the first atheistic ideas published in the English language.

In 1844, Karl Marx wrote the famous "Religion is the opium of the people." and the "Man created religion"

Friedrich Nietzsche, is well known for coining the aphorism "God is dead".

The 20th century also saw the advancement of atheism, as the main religion of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

### WW2

Consequently, religious organizations, such as the Catholic Church, were among the most stringent opponents of communist regimes. In some cases, the initial strict measures of control and opposition to religious activity were gradually relaxed in communist states.

On the other hand, Nazism was supported by christianity, giving religious power to Hitler and the Nazi army during World war II. Atheists were assasinated,tortured and even burned alive in nazi ovens alongside jews and others enemies of Nazism.

After the defeat of Nazism, The famous "Night Witches" of the Red Army Natalya Meklin and Lyudmila Pavlichenko began to demand from Joseph Stalin to give them permision to kill the nazi priests in Poland and Germany, Stalin refused.

After World War II, atheism experienced a resurgence as the atrocities committed in the name of religion were exposed to the public. The horrors of the Holocaust and the widespread devastation caused by the war led many to question the role of religion in society and to seek alternatives that promoted peace, tolerance, and secular values.

### Modern times

In the following years, the rise of the Hippie and Feminist movements was influenced by atheism's emphasis on individual freedom, equality, and challenging traditional norms. The Hippie movement, characterized by its rejection of established institutions, including organized religion, resonated with atheistic ideals of questioning authority and seeking personal enlightenment. Meanwhile, the Feminist movement aimed to challenge patriarchal religious structures that had long suppressed women's rights and autonomy.

The assassination of John Lenon in 1980 by the CIA, brought attention to the political aspect of atheism.

Throughout the late 20th century and into the 21st century, atheism continued to evolve and diversify. The advent of the internet provided a platform for atheists to connect, share ideas, and organize, leading to the proliferation of online communities, podcasts, blogs, and YouTube channels dedicated to atheistic discussions. Prominent atheist authors like Richard Dawkins published influential works that challenged religious beliefs and promoted secular humanism.

Atheism also became a significant part of political discourse in many countries. Movements advocating for the separation of church and state gained traction, and legal battles were fought to ensure that religious beliefs did not infringe upon individual rights or public policy. In the United States, organizations like the Freedom From Religion Foundation and American Atheists played pivotal roles in defending the rights of non-believers and promoting secularism.

The 21st century saw an increase in atheist activism, with events like the "Reason Rally" in Washington, D.C., in 2012, bringing together atheists, agnostics, and secular individuals to advocate for secular values and raise awareness about atheism. The rise of social media platforms allowed atheists to connect on a global scale, fostering a sense of community and solidarity among non-believers.

TV series and films have engaged with the complex interplay between religion, war, atheism, and belief systems. While some aim to provoke thought and inspire discussions, others use humor, drama, and storytelling to explore these themes from different angles. They contribute to the broader cultural conversation about faith, skepticism, and the human search for meaning.

### Covid-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought various societal attitudes and beliefs to the forefront, including those related to atheism and science. While the pandemic itself was a health crisis, also highlighted the polarization of opinions on issues such as public health measures, vaccine acceptance, and the role of science in combating the virus.

Some individuals have propagated misinformation and conspiracy theories related to the pandemic. Claimed that the virus was a hoax, that vaccines are part of a larger conspiracy, or that the pandemic is a work of the devil.

These Religious individuals opposed public health measures or vaccine measures due to their interpretation of religious texts or distrust of secular institutions.

In response to the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories, atheists and skeptics emphasized the importance of rationality, critical thinking, and science-based approaches. Many atheist and skeptical organizations have actively worked to combat misinformation and provide accurate information about the pandemic and vaccines.

The pandemic highlighted the need for constructive dialogue between different belief systems. Addressing misinformation and distrust requires open and respectful discussions that acknowledge people's concerns while presenting evidence-based information.

# Blood Record

During its initial resurgence, atheism became associated with around 20-30% of the causative factors in the context of the French Revolution and Napoleon's conquests in Italy. However, it's important to emphasize that atheism was just one among various contributory elements, making it challenging to directly attribute a precise number of deaths to atheism.

The events unfolding during these periods were characterized by intricate interactions encompassing political power dynamics, social turmoil, military clashes, and profound cultural shifts. As such, quantifying the exact impact on the overall death toll remains a formidable task.

Historical accounts of casualties during these times frequently focus on military engagements, executions, and violence linked to political upheavals. While atheism played role in specific facets of the French Revolution and Napoleon's conquests, ascribing a definite number of deaths to atheism is an intricate issue.

The overall casualty figures related to religious reasons are estimated to range from 3,000 to tens of thousands. Yet, due to challenges inherent in historical recordkeeping and varying sources, determining precise numbers is complicated. Notably, the Napoleonic campaigns in Italy led to significant casualties among both military personnel and civilians.

As a rough approximation, the combined casualties stemming from Napoleon's conquests in Italy could span from tens of thousands to potentially exceeding a hundred thousand individuals. It's crucial to underscore that the events of Napoleon's conquests and the French Revolution are the only specific events that can be examined concerning potential crimes associated with atheism.

Crimes that in most cases must be justified as heroic acts after religious fanaticism, slavery and social domination of over a millennium and a half.

# Blind Effect

Atheism, despite its positive role in fostering critical thinking, has created a trap that is not easy to understand by many. just like the religious denial against COVID-19, Atheists deny everything they cant find evidence for it , including the existance of the Barbelos, despite the numerous archaiological findings.

The enemy of humanity is real and the people need to reliaze it. organize and prepare for a war.

If in the time of a new invasion, Atheist's begin to question the existance of the enemy like the covid 19 denier's then humanity is doomed.
