Is atheism a blief as dogmatic as christianity?

It seems that the real stance to take from the perspective of being honest is to be neither atheist or theist because both revolve around the concept of god existing when in reality we know nothing of any god.

Is atheism a belief for is it the true perspective behind belief?

  • "we know nothing of any god"

    That's cos 'HE' DOESN'T EXIST !

    Theism... belief in 'gods'.

    A-theism... NO belief in 'gods'.

    That sounds pretty simple to me... obviously I'm stupid.

    ‘Gods’ and magic are the most simplistic excuses ignorant primitives have ever imagined explaining anything.

    We could just as well suggest Prince Wayne and Princess Caroline, with or without the assistance of the local Pixies wearing hard hats, did it cos there’s the same amount of evidence... NONE.

  • Atheism is a lack of belief in a God, by definition.

    While anyone can get preachy, obviously it is not dogmatic to not believe in God, just as it is not dogmatic to not believe in the tooth fairy.

    If an atheist is honest in saying "I don't believe there is a God" then how is that dishonest?

    Maybe it is you who are the dogmatic one? Since you seem to presume what others do/should believe based on your own understandings of the universe?

  • "... we know nothing of any god. " This is the crux of the matter, we look where people claim a god has acted and see nothing other than subjective interpretation of natural events. We read and can predict the evidence that we should find, and yet, we find evidence to the contrary. We sift through millions of data point ranging over various branches of science and we do not see the hand of any sort of god.

    Atheism is simply a lack of belief, nothing more.

  • Atheism is a position that has facts to back it up. Christianity only has beliefs, fact distortion, and wishful thinking. Thus, it is far more dogmatic.

  • Atheism is a lack of belief in god(s). That is all.

  • No, we're not dogmatic. If God was ever found to be real, all atheists would convert.

  • it's just a lack of belief and it is no way dogmatic.

  • there is NO belief in Atheism

  • Not a belief it is a lack if belief.

    Key word is lack.

  • Oh yeah. They also proselytize a lot.
