Atheism Information

Why is there so much misinformation about atheism? Because there are powerful religions that don't like the idea that there are people who don't believe in their doctrines and who can't be controlled by them. Religions are set up to control their followers and tell them what to believe. It's been going on like that since religions were developed. You have to believe in the religions teachings and god or gods or something bad will happen. Atheists don't believe in all of that. They believe there are no gods. So, naturally religious people or people who have a vested interested in a particular religion, especially people who make money from it, are threatened by someone who might topple their house of cards. There's a lot of misinformation about atheists and atheism because there are powerful people and organizations who stand to lose. That's all there is to it.

A lot of people, especially people who practice a religion, have a vested interest in making sure other people don't know what being an atheist is. So, here's a the meaning of being an atheist: An atheist is a person who doesn't believe in a god or gods. The meaning of being an atheist is just that you're a person who doesn't believe when people say there is a god. That's it! There's nothing else to it. No complicated explanations about theory, doctrine, dogma, or propaganda, just a person who doesn't believe in god.
