A Bit about Atheism...What is Atheism Anyways ?

There are many people who may have already heard of the word Atheist, but what does it mean actually ?

As per what it says in Wikipedia : Atheism can be either the rejection of theism,[1] or the position that deities do not exist.[2] In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.[3]

"Hehehehe!! Copy N Paste again?? yup I know I'm lazy but...Anyways, back to the subject..."

To the layman, the above description may sound too scientific and too hard to be deciphered. So in the layman's sense, an atheist is someone who does not have any belief in God. Now there are many atheists around the world nowadays, some would even go as far to say that those who do not believe in god is those who believe in the devil. Well as far as most Intellectual atheist's go, I don't think they are all Satanic or Devil worshipers actually. They merely are all more of a Rationalist, where they believe in scientific evidence and realistic explanations for everything. They believe in the Logical and Factual explanation for everything and not relying on anything mystical, spiritual or in superstitions.

Now I don't think that its wrong if one does not believe in God, thats highly your own personal beliefs but there are some irresponsible ones out there who goes out to criticize religion and God. Now these are the people with problems. If you dont like something, but its something that's not wrong, no use going around telling people that everyone else should reject this.

There are also some who believes in Teachings of Saints or Holy Men/Prophets and these people do not believe in Religion. Now here comes the argument, Are they also considered Atheist ?? Some of these people do not believe in God, but they believe in a spiritual energy of righteousness surrounding men. They are taught doctrines on how to become a good human being, giving in to devotion to helping humanity and in non-violence.
