ATHEOLOGY
The study of the rejection of God
Atheology consist of arguments and debates against God and the defense of Science and reason. The practice of using logical thinking and rationality to answer human kinds most important questions.
Atheism can be
either the rejection of theism, or the position that deitiesdo not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in
the existence of deities.
In
English however the phrase “denier of God,” is correspondes better.
The term atheism originated
from the Greek (atheos),
which was derogatively applied to anyone thought to believe in false gods, no
gods, or doctrines that stood in conflict with established religions.
Atheos in is also recognized as
meaning: Godless
A, meaning
“without”
Theos, meaning
“deity”
Therefore atheism would mean:
A, meaning
“without”
Theist, “without
one or many deities”
An Atheist is one who follows the
rejection of theism or the
position that deitiesdo not exist.
There
are two types of known Atheism.
1.Strong Atheist and this term are also known
as Positive Atheism and also Implicit Atheist.
2.Weak Atheist also known as Negative or
explicit Atheist.
Strong atheism is a
term generally used to describe atheists who accept as true the proposition "gods do not exist".
Weak atheism refers
to any other type of non-theism.
"Positive"
atheism refers to the specific belief that gods do not exist, and
"negative" atheism refers merely to an absence of belief in gods.
What is Agnosticism
(Greek: a- a-, without + gnosis, knowledge; after Gnosticism)
is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of deities, spiritual beings, or even ultimate reality — are unknown or, in some forms of agnosticism, unknowable. It is not a religious declaration in itself, and an agnostic may also be a theist or an atheist.
What is Humanism
Humanism is a perspective common to a wide range of ethical stances that attaches importance to human dignity, concerns, and capabilities, particularly rationality. Although the word has many senses, its meaning comes into focus when contrasted to the supernatural or to appeals to authority.
