Atheism is a belief (Why Atheists don't believe part 2)

"Soft Atheism" (What I call true atheism) - No belief in God / A non-belief in God. Not a belief system."Hard Atheism" (What I can non-true atheism; I think the proper term would be anti-theism) - A belief there is no God. A belief system."Ambiguistic Atheism" - Belief in no God. A wording that blurs the division between soft and hard atheism. If you read such to be "Belief in no God", it is hard atheism. If you read such without stressing the "no God", it is soft atheism.MooseAdded by edit: I think there is also a softer version of "Hard Atheism". Perhaps a variety of agnosticism involving binary logic. That is, one can believe that there is no God, because one has no reason to believe the is a God. A belief because of non-belief? This belief system is not actively "anti-theistic". Kind of like the difference between a militant and a non-militent "anti-theist".Edited by Minnemooseus, : See above. Also fixed a spelling error.Edited by Minnemooseus, : Fixed spelling error in previous "added by edit".

A mixed admin mode / non-admin mode message.This topic will soon be closed. Of course, there probably will be yet another sequel topic. I suggest someone try to pick out a specific point to discuss, rather than having another broad based "Atheism" topic. - End of admin mode input. So riVeRrat, were you born with a belief in God? If not, and I think such was the case, then you were born an atheist (soft variety - "No belief in God").Moose
