I've been seeing posts about "fundamental atheism." How can there be such a thing. Atheism is not a religion, its a lack of religion. If there are no fundamentals how can there be fundamentalism?

Do people really not understand what atheism is?

"The belief that the tenets of atheism are literally true, and that the belief is based on logic and rational thinking after reviewing the applicable evidence."

I've never heard of it before, I had to look it up.

Atheism qualifies as a belief system in much the same way religions do, so I suppose fundamentalist atheists are technically possible, though the phrase seems to have started as retaliation from Christian fundamentalists who are apparently offended by the term.

Fundamental means basic.
Religion menas belief.

Fundamental atheism=basic belief (that God does not exist)

Do you not really understand what atheism is?

Some of the questions from some of the people that have chosen their beliefs (I won't name any names) seem to think that if you don't believe in God after you've heard about God, then you are intentionally denying him (I'm so not Christian and so gritting me teeth at just having said that). So if you choose not to believe, you're siding with the devil. So to answer your question, yeah, people really do not understand.

Atheism is not a religion?
Guy, I think it is.
They believe in no god. They preach it, they teach it, they worship the idea of having no one to account to.
Of course, their beliefs have no salvation.
And sure atheism is idealogical, it has no beginning or end, and it's empty teachings of men, --------but it is a religion. Thanks. Hope you can use some of this answer.

This might be a reference to how rigid and unwilling to change certain atheists are in attitude. I'm sure atheists vary but I'm sure there are some more than others that gain a greater measure of personal identity by thinking of themselves as atheists.

the explanation why the "gimmick" grew to alter into extra well-known to visitors exchange into because of the fact of his heel turn, undeniable and easy. It exchange into in 2009 while he made the turn and it exchange into Jeff Hardy who helped CM Punk make that transition into making the "gimmick" stand out extra. bear in mind, Jeff Hardy has a history of medicine, so as that they capitalized on the "gimmick" on Jeff Hardy, which made experience. It exchange into the heel turn that made CM Punk extra less complicated to particular the character in a snobbish, smug way in accepted heel style. CM Punk, as a face while he spoke exchange into good, even with the undeniable fact that it wasn't something that would rather grab your interest. With all of this heading into 2010, bear in mind, he exchange into in a feud with Rey Mysterio, (comparable to Jeff) who's between the main liked wrestlers interior the WWE. The faction of the as we communicate side Society exchange into to characteristic extra to his heel character. It wasn't WWE occurring any form of marketing campaign going against drugs or something like that. They have been merely pushing CM Punk and including layers to his character. BQ: Punk being as we communicate side isn't a gimmick, this is his real existence type. The CM Punk character you notice now could be certainly the comparable CM Punk from in the past his time interior the WWE, yet merely toned down somewhat. BQ2: That has no longer something to do with the which ability of as we communicate side. BQ3: this is a possibility. he isn't any doubt one in all the main known wrestler good now in as we communicate's industry and that they shouldn't kill the momentum. i'm predicting he's going to have the identify as much as Wrestlemania or possibly even somewhat longer than that.

The lack of God _is_ fundamental - as in basic, pure, central, unaltered... It's one of the universe's fundamental truths, in fact.

FudamentalIST? No sir. That it is not.

It's a parody of the commonly-seen critique of fundamentalist Christians.

It comes from Funny Bible Thumpers trying to pretend they are smart.
