😉
it doesnt mean you reject it - just means you wont go purely on beleif
Atheists is "I don't believe there is a God", agnostic is "I do not believe you can even know if there is a God or not"
Basically, My general belief is "I don't know if there is a god, but it's not that god over there, that's for damn sure."
They answer two different questions
Atheism means you reject it,
If you don't know cuz you don't believe, you're agnostic
Atheism is actively saying "theres no proof, so i dont think there is one"
No.
One is if they exist, the other is if that can be known for sure
its just "I dont have proof" ... and stops there
and that you thus don't believe there is one
If you have no proof but still believe there is one, you're just an average theist
You can simply not believe in any god, and be an atheist.
to say "there is absolutely no god" means you beleive that to be true... therefore you cannot be without belief
Anyone here agree with the term/concept Anti-theist?
Yes
and if you don't believe that,
Then you don't know, hence you are categorised as Agnostic
without beleif means you dont believe either way
I would say I'm an Anti-theist.
its more like you dont really care
Not caring is Atheistic yes.
You can believe in God and believe that the proof of his existance is beyond human understanding.
Nihilist are atheistic as well.
Generally.
Anti-theist according to Christopher Hitchens, the rejection of god, AND that you wish there isn't one even if there actually is one
Aka "you just believe"
Let's break down etymology here...
A~theism is 'Without Theism' or Without theology.
@RyeNorth Correct I think that belief in god is a negative in the world.
yeah I would say theres
theist: 100% believe its real
Anti-theist = 100% believe its false
Atheist - 100% dont care either way
that last one is Agnostic
Anti-theist are a sub category of Atheists.
A~gnostic means 'Without Knowledge'
or rather 100% dont beleive either .. because you are "without belief"
Anti-theists appose theism
Right
But are a subcategory of atheist
Yes
Anti would mean in opposition
It's where you get your militant athiests who seem hell bent on attacking the followers of a religion as well as the relation.
