Bryanderthal replied to Jennie's discussion the defintion of atheism & closet atheists in the group The OUT Campaign
"When I'm asked to define "atheism" I usually spout off the dictionary definition, "one who does not believe in a god or gods." Theists often turn this into "so, you believe there is no God," which is a subtle…"

"Yep. Call me a rationalist, a freethinker, a person of reason. They all work. If I am an atheist, it is because I have no need to consider the supernatural as anything other than imaginary."
Joey replied to Jennie's discussion the defintion of atheism & closet atheists in the group The OUT Campaign
"I agree 100%. That's kinda what I was getting at too.
With the gnostic atheist thing, it's usually not a belief there is no god at all...Typically atheists that claim to know about the lack of existenc e for a certain god are basing it on…"

"Let me add that, as Smith implies, it's a mistake to define "atheism" as "a lack of belief." That particular characterization, found in many dictionaries, is one created by theists.
The word "lack" suggests want.…"
Don replied to Jennie's discussion the defintion of atheism & closet atheists in the group The OUT Campaign
"The point I'm trying to make here is that "atheism" is the broader term in the sense that its basic meaning is "without theistic belief," a description that applies to the agnostic as well as to the atheist. There are, of…"
Joey replied to Jennie's discussion the defintion of atheism & closet atheists in the group The OUT Campaign
"I always thought agnosticism meant your approach to your theism/atheism. (A = without, gnostic = knowledge)
So an agnostic atheist would mean they didn't know and didn't believe.
Agnostic theist would be someone that believed, but…"
Don replied to Jennie's discussion the defintion of atheism & closet atheists in the group The OUT Campaign
"In its most basic sense, "atheism" is the absence of theistic belief. That is the word's fundamental meaning. In this basic sense, then, an agnostic is also an atheist.
In this persuasive vein, consider the following excerpts from…"
Angie Jackson replied to Jennie's discussion the defintion of atheism & closet atheists in the group The OUT Campaign
"My physicist brother bounces between theism, agnosticism, and atheism about every six months (it used to really depress me when I was a xtian, but now I don't worship a fuck-head god that would send him to hell, so it's okay!) He jokingly…"
Jennie joined DieHappy's group
Physicists
Many questions are more important then the expected number of gods in the Universe. We deal with the laws and phenomena of Nature.
Jennie joined Dr. Terence Meaden's group
ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
We debate origins of the Universe, life, Earth, humans, religion, atheism, using common sense, evolution, cosmology, geology, archaeology, and other sciences, to repel biblical creationism and other religious beliefs.
Jennie added a discussion to the group The OUT Campaign
the defintion of atheism & closet atheists
Okay, first things first. We all know that atheism is basically a lack of belief in God or gods. Have you ever met someone who says, "But I'm an agnostic, not an atheist!"? Being agnostic, as coined by Thomas Huxley, means that you don't know either way if God or gods exist. So, yes, that tells me about what you know. But what do you believe?Ask a Christian what it means to believe in God. He or she will most likely tell you that it's an all or nothing type of deal. You can't sort of believe in…See More

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… - Greetings, Jennie! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus in a year. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Reality Activist said… - Thank you for being here. You are a gem.
I don't agree with your all of your viewpoint on atheism vs agnosticism.
I'm a gnostic atheist. Gravity does exist and so does Evolution as we know it.
Reality confirms what we know and what we don't.
