there is a new category of atheist, and that is the anti-theist. Those atheists who are tired of the two thousand year dominance of theism, and actively work to promote the life of living without a God. I am not one, but I am an atheist.
We have worked so hard to loosen the grip of religion, that the prospect of going back to Wahabist Arabia, or Puritan America/Geneva, is not at all appealing. Indeed I hope you aren’t yearning for a return to that medievalism?
I think it is necessary to be a materialist if you are an atheist, and as atheists have no mythical, magical, creation myths, we must necessarily adopt a materialist answer; hence evolution.
‘Scientism’, fits within this definition, I am a proud scientismist, if such a term exists. And your ‘Darwinist’ badge also fits; not sure about the multi-verse, but as it is just as plausible as God, why not? |
Jesus, rvb8, there are so many problems with this. Ugh. linky
