Atheism Information

In spite of what most religions and religious people might say, it's okay to be an atheist. There's absolutely nothing wrong with not believing in a god or gods. Then why is there a stigma against atheists? In an ideal world, it would be normal not to believe in a god. We would learn about the universe through science, use our brains to make decisions, value life here on Earth, and we'd all let each other do our thing. Unfortunately, organized religions have control much of the social narrative because they have a lot to lose if people don't believe in what they profess. Religions have self-appointed themselves exclusive distributors of comfort about death and moral righteousness.

Atheism explained by atheists, what a great concept! Here's our explanation: Atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods. It's a single answer to a single question, "Is there a god?" We say, "No." This is a major source of discomfort for religions and religious people who have everything invested in believing in their particular god or gods. Atheists just say, "We don't believe in gods," and it drives religious people crazy because, if there is no god or gods, then they've wasted their entire lives believing something that doesn't even exist.  Atheists don't have to worry about that. We simply don't believe god exists. That's it. We can then move on with our lives and enjoy our time on earth instead of trying to make stuff up about supernatural beings that control everything. The atheist world is full of wonder and discovery because we're open to going wherever the evidence leads us and enjoying the ride.
