Comments on: What atheists have in common http://atheology.com/2007/07/14/what-atheists-have-in-common/ n. against God or gods, anti-theology, the defense of naturalism Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:08:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gabriel Edilberto Cruz y Lumanlan http://atheology.com/2007/07/14/what-atheists-have-in-common/comment-page-1/#comment-322 Gabriel Edilberto Cruz y Lumanlan Sat, 27 Jun 2009 06:53:36 +0000 http://atheology.com/2007/07/14/what-atheists-have-in-common/#comment-322 I belive in God. He sets my values. He gives me his reality. He taught me to read the Bible and interprets it. He gives me foos and shelter. And I see him each night. You know who it is? - ITS ME!!!! I am an Autodeist, practically an Atheist, because i believe that man is an alien phlegm spat into the world without meaning. The question is how is he going to be happy? Simple, he observes the world and makes his values which are compatible to his realm and be himself and makes a difference. The God he worships, as he do not know, is himself because he's also the one fulfilling his miracles. Anyone who has the same belief with me, SAY I!!! I belive in God. He sets my values. He gives me his reality. He taught me to read the Bible and interprets it. He gives me foos and shelter. And I see him each night. You know who it is? – ITS ME!!!!

To follow Sydney Hook, science is knowldedge but theology begs the question of being knowledge such that they do not equate:, the fallacy of equivocation.

But if we exclude people who become atheist for its shock value, theists in transition to atheism who are still clinging to elements of their old worldview, and atheist Buddhists, what remains are those who have embraced the naturalism implied by science. These last make up the great majority of modern atheists. There is even an effort to give the name "Brights" to those who adopt the naturalistic worldview. You're right in one sense, I will admit. Many atheists are too timid to embrace naturalism as "true." After all, naturalism is only the "working theory" of science. Of course evolution is also only a working theory, but very few atheists refuse to embrace evolution as true (and then only for semantic reasons). I think its misguided and inconsistent not to embrace naturalism as well. There are exceptions, of course.

The other two are, as you say, incorrect. But there is no "natural worldview" which all atheists share. “The only thing atheists have in common is what they disbelieve” is correct.
