When men stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe in anything.
I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life I absented myself from Christian assemblies.
I believe in nothing.
People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.
When belief in a god dies, the god dies.
I'd describe myself as a Christian who doesn't believe in God.
It's not any huge secret that I'm an atheist.
I am not the opposite of theism. I am right in the middle of those non-believers and believers. It's not even about being agnostic or nastik. Why would I take a name given to me by my opposition? I am just a rationalist.
I don't myself need that role for God. My view is that creation itself, the universe itself, is the most wonderful thing deserving awe and respect. And that satisfies me as my substitute for God.
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
The fact that I don't have any particular need for religion doesn't mean that I have a need to cast religion aside the way some of my colleagues do.
An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God.
If you're going to be unreligious, it's likely going to be due to reflecting on it and finding some things that are hard to believe.
The word 'Antichrist', to me, is the collective disbelief in god.
I don't believe in a personal God, no. And I don't believe in resurrection as it is in the New Testament.
I am surprised that anyone can profess to be an atheist.
Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all.
Anyone familiar with my work knows that I am extremely critical of all religious faiths.
I have no beliefs of a religious kind.
I am not into any religions. I have been mostly influenced by Eastern religions - Taoism, the essence of Hinduism and Buddhism. But my belief is not having any beliefs.
I do not have, and never had, any interest in either the Bible or religion.
The atheist proposition is the following - most of the time - it may not be said that there is no god; it may be said that there is no reason to think that there is one.
I believe in nature instead of God.
Atheism is the lack of belief in a god (or gods). It makes no claim. It merely rejects the claim that a god (or gods) exists. Nothing more.
I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism.
