The outsiders discussion

I don't believe in any god or anything religious, and from what I've heard and learned that you're a atheist then. so I guess I am xD seems like I'm the only one...

I'm an atheist becasue I don't know any other answer. If I find something later in life, thats a possiblity.

then we seems to be two :)

Oh thank goodness. I thought I was the only christian in this discussion :P Lol

LOL XD Well, you're not :)

To be fair feeling alone as a religious person in a discussion set up for athiests isn't really necessary :P

There are 5 now by the way.


Cat I would say that the only thing you might have gotten wrong there is that Atheism isn't specifically the active rejection of religion, it's simply the absence of it. Yes, many athiests actively reject it and many people who may or may not be athiests may not categorize themselves as such if they DON'T speak out against religions like the more vocal athiests do.

But in the end I think just taking a sort of "none of the above" stance with religion makes you atheistic since, to use an example by definition, being asexual means not reproducing by sex; it doesn't mean rejecting sex.

For myself I'm not certain if I could be considered truly atheistic, I do MOSTLY believe many things exist that we couldn't possibly explain and quite possibly in that; a higher power. I do not, however, believe in gods or demons, I definitely do not believe in creationism. I think I believe there is SOMETHING after death but I don't believe it's heaven or hell.

I'm honestly quite happy to believe in the things I can confirm with logic and science and accept the mysteries in life for what they are. Someday I'll die and then I'll discover what happens afterward, until then I see no need to speculate.

@Samantha: Exactly.

I'm an atheist, but I was told as a little kid that I was strictly Christian because I celebrate Christmas.
That is not true.

I spent many years believing I was some abnormal Christian who never went to church and didn't believe in God.
