what Atheism is.

"Nor does it seek truth" your statement there, quite inaccurate. Atheists most frequently, (more than theists) as for evidence to prove any and all assertions about a deity. Believers, it turns out, seldom ask, nor wish to have any such evidence shown to them, one way or the other. Atheists, by contrast, constantly ask.

"Atheism is simply a disbelief in god(s). It doesn't require any technique, let alone a scientific technique"

Obviously,you have not grasped what Atheisim does and does not do. You seem to have made up another kind of anti-theism based upon your own fantasies. Don't worry, most theists do the same thing about both theism and anti-theism. They make it all up, never bother with the facts, and just go on from there to post hundreds of thousands of posts on a message board, being sure to keep their eyes and ears closed to any reality that might leak in.


Atheism is simply a lack of belief, based upon the absence of logical and factual evidence. Just as a scientist might not believe in angels turning ice to water, without any evidence or logic for that happening, the same simple scientific principle of looking for evidence applies for both scientists and atheists.

Sorry you are so misinformed about Atheism. Do you still think Atheism is a system of belief similar to religion? Do you still think science needs to bow down to your religious beliefs, too? Unfortunately, all that fantastic dreamy thinking has nothing to do with Atheism, and is regrettably very misinformed and wrong.
