Could atheism ever be considered a culture like being Hindu, Muslim or Jewish?

Answer 1

No, it's (generally) not a cohesive community. Most atheists are free-thinkers. (This does not including what I call "disgruntled theists," who are often confused for and call themselves atheists.)

True atheists also have no central canon for moral behavior. For the most part, they have their own unique views on life. This, of course, does not mean they don't share ideas or influence one another. However, the lack of cohesiveness makes it impossible to define atheism as a culture.

Answer 2

Atheism has been a culture for many years in Cuba. It is better to call it dialectical materialism. It was imported from the Soviet Union. It is a very impractical form of socialism, as it puts no value on spirit, art, beauty, etc. Children now days seem to think they invented, or discovered atheism. They just don't know how many wars have been fought against the godless hoard they emulate. People forget that revolution was spread word wide by atheists, not religious folks. Today' neo-commies, and neo-nazis are comical relief. Except for a very few on this site, atheists are a joke, and not very funny either (ok, I do have to laugh at some of the questions).

Answer 3

Any belief that is held by a large group of people in a geographical region is considered a culture. So yes, it would be a culture.

Since you listed only religions, however, I'll also answer for religion. A religion, by definition, is centered on faith, or belief in something that either has not been proved or cannot be proved. The existence of God has not been proved, so all current religions are based around faith.

Atheism is the belief that there is no God. There has been no proof that there isn't a God. Therefore Atheism is a religion based around faith in the idea that there is no God.

Answer 4

Yes Atheism can make a culture. Culture is founded by a communitu, society with common beliefs and lifestyles in same kind of environment/ country.
A group of society believe in some cult or some organization say like Falun Gong and the followers form their own society and the result of it is called a sub-culture.

Answer 5

No, because atheism does not permeate life like religions do. A religion explains life, organizes it and makes sure that there is a social bond between its believers by using ceremonies and rituals. Most religions have a religious authority and hierarchy that determines how life is to be lived through rules, norms and sanctions.
Atheism is just an intellectual choice.

Answer 6

It's possible, but it's not likely. I firmly believe that the world will outgrow religion someday, but there will still be many different cultures by then, and their defining characteristsics will be something other than their religion (since religion will be dead).


Furthermore, you can be from any culture and be an atheist. Being of a certain religion probably slants you toward a particular culture, though.

What does God call it? Preach love too you? Lets see what God says, to do with you.

You have unbeliever's. Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a scoffer. The WORD of God, clearly tells you the filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according too God Himself. Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Paslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble? The same Bible atheist scholars quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the "way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're ungodly ways.

God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what they are by His own words.

They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name categorically.

God's Word said it. By God's definition. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss the means of your sciptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I guess. I dunno.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Ever try to herd cats? It's called Freethinking for a reason. Also Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color.

Answer 10

A few more centuries of evolution and atheists and agnostics will be the only ones left. For some reason some people still think the earth is flat....err I mean they believe in Resurrection.
