Atheist.  Converting to the others would be like going from the frying pan into the fire.

See, that's the point... all of the answers are provided for them.  There is no reason to think.  Do you really believe that people who use logic would fall for all this religious crap?

because they are lost\n\nThe Atheist position is indeed hopeless. The believer has hope. If there is a God and there is life after death then the believer wins. If there is no God or no life after death the believer loses nothing. On the other hand, the Atheist loses badly if he wakes up to discover himself in the afterlife. In sum, if there is no afterlife both the believer and the Atheist are safe. But if there is an afterlife then the Atheist loses. The only one who can possibly lose is the Atheist.

Atheists don't believe in deities, so they cannot be "believers" in that sense.\n\nI'm an atheist who is a "believer" in love, hope, humanity, etc.

It would be more correct to say that atheists do not think God is real.

You are right, you are confused about atheists, you also have a very funny idea about what belief entails... \n\nAtheists have belief in evidenced things with proof, however blind faith of the religious kind requires no proof or evidence that is why it is called faith, if there was evidence for God it wouldn't require faith to believe in God. \n\nOne of the problems with blind faith is that you can believe almost anything through it, God, The Celestial Teapot, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, Vanilla Flavoured Fairies or anything that cannot be proved or disproved, this invalidates blind faith as a tool of knowledge.\n\nThe onus is always on the person or organisation making a claim to provide proof or evidence for it. When there is no way to test the truth of the claim because of a lack of proof or evidence it is called unfalsifiable.\n\nI have no beliefs about God I simply do not share the theists belief in the existence of God/Gods, I have no reason to think that a God exists and it is not hypocritical for me as an atheist to say so. Hope this explains it a bit better for you.

The atheist believes there is no god. ("God does not exist." / "There is no God.")\nThe agnostic believes that one cannot prove whether God exists or does not exist. ("We can't know if God exists or not.")\n\nThe dictionary says this about agnosticism   \n         1. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.\n         2. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.\n   2. One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.\n\nI followed definition 1. I guess uncertainty falls under definition 2.\n\nSUMMARY:\nATHEIST -- "THERE IS NO GOD."\nAGNOSTIC -- 2 KINDS: \nA. "WE CAN'T KNOW IF GOD EXISTS OR NOT." (THIS IS MORE DEFINITE. THERE IS CERTAINTY. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW.)\nB. "I'M NOT SURE IF GOD EXISTS. I'M NOT SURE IF GOD DOESN'T EXIST." (THIS IS REALLY UNCERTAIN.)

Yes. You are right. There is nothing scientific about atheism or any other religion for that matter, because there is no way (and never will be, until you die) to prove or disprove its claims. Atheists often think that they are better than religious people, because they aren't bogged down by dogma. What they don't realize is that they are making a claim just as outrageous as any religious person. They can't claim to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that their is no God any more than anyone else can claim to know that there is one. That's what faith is for. Athiests put just as much faith in what they believe as anyone else does. That's why so many scientists are not athiest, but are agnostic. They acknowledge the possiblility of God without making any any claims that they know more than they do. Agnostics realize that they don't have all the answers, so they rarely engage in religious arguments (unless someone is saying something truly wrong). Many athiests actually meant to be agnostic. They seen the many flaws with the current major religions, so they turn to atheism thinking that it's their only other option. But agnosticism rejects the current major religions without eliminating the possiblility of a God. Agnostics also are very tollerant of other religions (unlike atheists), because for all they know, they could be right. Agnosticism is the only belief that can't be proven wrong, because it doesn't make any claims except that we don't really know anything for sure.

I wish someone would define just exactly what an atheists is or believes or thinks or etc.

The atheists that I have sparred with on YA do not lie. I think atheists are just naturally tied to the physical world that they can confirm with their senses. The living God dwells in eternity which is beyond the physical. He has revealed Himself in scripture, but if you read with the attitude of not caring to find Him, He will not reveal Himself. It is very difficult for the atheist to accept the idea of God, so science is their key to understanding. Unfortunately, like all things physical... it will come to an end. And therein lies the rub. They must come up with a doctrine to explain the hereafter, and that can be quite disquieting.

True\n\nScrew theists...

Yes. Among other things, atheists believe in the scientific method, they believe in the material world, they believe only in what they know through their senses, they believe in their own happiness and in societal values (whatever they may be), and they believe religiously in the atheistic article of faith that there is no God.

Sigh...this is the sort of thing that makes me twitch.  Okay, here goes:\n\nAn atheist believes that there is a logical contradiction inherent in the idea of a/the God.  Because it is otherwise impossible to prove that something doesn't exist (for example, try to prove that there is now or never was any such thing as a unicorn), atheists hold that the idea of God is logically impossible.  Atheism is usually opposed to the traditional omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent God of monotheists.  In other words, atheists find it impossible to believe that a being can be all-knowing, all-powerful and all good at the same time.  They usually cite something like the problem of pain.  (If God is all-good and all-powerful, how can He let bad things happen?)\n\nI realize that there are atheists that are complete materialists and reject the idea of anything that can't be perceived through the senses.  However, usual usage of the term "atheist" is one who doesn't believe in the Christian/Muslim/Jewish God.  (Let's be honest:  how often do you see atheists and Hindus duking it out?)\n\nAs for agnostics, there are two kinds:  1) those who think that it is impossible to know if God exists and 2) those who think it is possible, but aren't convinced one way or the other.\n\nHere is an example to clarify.  You're walking down the road, and a big light from the sky suddenly shines on you.  You hear your name and are told to repent.  Would you acknowledge the possibility that you had just witnessed a miracle, or would you immediately assume that you've done one too many acid trips?\n\nThe 2) kind of agnostic would believe that it is possible and that it might even be the proof they were looking for.  The 1) kind of agnostic would lay off the drugs for a while; he doesn't believe that a God, even if He/She/It exists, can interfere in such a way in human affairs.\n\nI realize that this might not be the simple answer you were looking for.\n\nThe quick answer is that atheists say no and that agnostics say maybe.\n\nSome agnostics are convinceable, and some are not.

I doubt they would have planned anything, or even think it will happen.....being atheists an all.

I think Atheists have a right to believe as they do, and I do not think they are stupid for their beliefs.  The lifestyles of different Atheists vary, so it is hard to comment on an Atheist "Lifestyle."  In my opinion, Atheists could benefit from certain practices that are usually associated with religion, but do not necessarily have to be.  For example, daily affirmations of what is good in life, and daily reflections on how to live the best life, and meditation to strengthen one's qualities and so on.  \n\nYes, they have a place in heaven, if there is a heaven.
