Are atheists 'spiritual'?

Question

and how? Ty!

sorry eduard i didnt see that Q

Answer 1

This was asked just a few minutes ago. And the answer is yes, they can. How? Well, is religion the ONLY source for your spirituality? Can't you get it from art, feelings, thinking, philosophy, your family...?

Answer 2

Yes, everyone is spiritual, some just not spiritually alive... Jesus said that until a person is born from God's spirit, they are outside the kingdom of life. He excluded all other leaders also when He stated that He is the way, the truth and the life... NO person comes to the Father of Lights except through Him. Either He was a deluded egomaniac, a liar and deceiver, or He was who he said He was! Who else has ever walked on the water, healed the sick, gave the blind their eyesight back, made the deaf to hear and brought the dead back to life on the scale that Jesus did??? NO ONE! So I think if one wants to be spiritually alive they should go to the Creator of Life, believe what He says and forget the rest.

Answer 3

Atheists, while more often equated with realists, existentialists, and sometimes mistakenly with nihilists, can be quite spiritual. That's to say that while the basic concept for labeling one's self as a disbeliever in God seems all encompassing, it does not necessarily mean that they fail to believe in the supernatural entirely. It simply means that they have a different view of how super-nature might be constructed and whether or not that construct specifically includes an overseer, an infinitive entity both conscious and all-powerful. For instance, disbelieving in a deity would not discount some atheists from believing in souls, luck, mysteries, happiness, love, things greater than the self, things unseen, inspiration, goodness, muses, meaning, life, afterlife, and so on. In fact, some people get labeled as atheists, either by themselves or by others, simply because their actual belief in God is far more developed than a traditional interpretation and subsequently fails to fit a religious construct.

Answer 4

Atheist are a bunch of non-believers in the existence of GOD and supernatural. They rational the existence of this world and universe through scientific argument and logic.

The term atheism has been used as an accusation against all who attack established orthodoxy, as in the trial of Socrates. There were few avowed atheists from classical times until the 19th cent., when popular belief in a conflict between religion and science brought forth preachers of the gospel of atheism, such as Robert G. Ingersoll. There are today many individuals and groups professing atheism. The 20th cent. has seen many individuals and groups professing atheism, including Bertrand Russell and Madalyn Murry O'Hair.

Answer 5

some are some aren't...it's not like we have this rigid ideology. the only thing that unites us is the lack of belief in a deity...any deity.

I personally am not a spiritual person...i don't believe in the "life force" or the great interconnectedness of all things...except metaphorically and poetically.

I have met atheists who do have other weird mystical alternative beliefs, but generally not too many of us do, as we are usually fairly rational and logical about all things...horoscopes as well as gods.

Answer 6
