It is quite simple, we need evidence for our beliefs. That is it in a nutshell.

Hi,
I'll give you the same response that I gave my friend.

My philosophy of life is grounded in a scientific understanding of the universe. Like most scientists, I think that the universe is around 14 billion years old and guided by physical laws. I believe that all of the species on this planet evolved over billions of years through natural selection, and that humans have only recently emerged on this planet.

At first glance, a philosophy based on science may seem negative. By accepting physical law and the gradual evolution of life, I reject the idea that the universe was created by any personal intelligence (god). As a result, I hold no concept of religion or an afterlife, and I do not believe that the universe was designed for any meaningful purpose. But on the bright side, I do not subscribe to religions that validate murder, misogyny, and authoritarianism, or inhibit my understanding of the world and my freedom to direct my life as I please.

I think that my philosophy of the universe and human life can be positive and even life-affirming. The improvement of science has shown us that the world is more beautiful, complex, and extraordinary than any prior belief system could have ever imagined. Einstein once said that you can live your life as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is. Take one example of a miracle, the fact that we exist. The chances against it were astronomical: billions of collisions of stardust, the slow evolution of life on this planet, and endless genetic permutations within our species. And humans do not merely exist: We are able to understand our existence, derive meaning from our lives, manipulate nature to our advantage, and find a place within the world.

My personal philosophy on life is equally positive. I believe that living is a gift of nature, and I try not to waste it on nihilism, violence, or pessimism. Life is precious, and we only have a short time to enjoy it, to help others, to understand the world, and to aid the progression of humanity. We've already reaped some of the benefits: Medicine has doubled the number of years we live as compared to our ancestors, and the Internet has given me the ability to hear from you, someone who lives thousands of miles away.

In short, I think that our lives have value because we give them value. I want to make the best of my life and to help humans who are less fortunate than I am, especially those who suffer from tyranny, violence, disease, poverty, and malnutrition. With enough reason, morality, and compassion, I believe that the human species will be able to explore its amazing potential.

This is my philosophy. This is how I see life. Glad you asked.

Atheist is spelled a-t-h-e-i-s-t. I am a non-believer and consider atheists those who do not believe in any spiritual 'otherworld'. I see duality in everything-male/female, bad/good, etc. Therefore, the idea of a singular, male deity is not realistic. That, and, it does not make sense that a perfect being create anything.
There are many different religions, philosophies. Buddhism, Wiccan, Hindu, Judaism, Islam, Mormon, and plenty of others not mentioned. There are books and courses on different religions.

Atheists are judged harshly and dealt with by many Christians as though they have the plague because of fact many Christians fail to comprehend that as a fashion to truly be a Christian, they ought to love others, even people who're no longer the comparable as them or have self assurance the comparable way they do. Any Christian who tells somebody, "Oh, you're an Athiest! you are going to hell!" isn't a sort and loving man or woman and that they are no longer residing a existence alluring to their God. the fast answer is they're slender-minded and don't realise their own faith.
