What do atheists believe in? I know what you don't believe in.?

Question

You constantly jump on the Christians for not practicing the love that the bible teaches. What do you believe in so we can tell you when you're not practicing what you preach.

Answer 1

We don't have a club with bylaws and rules. We can act independently and individually.

Answer 2

Reality, for the most part. But everyone is part atheist, even christians. Atheism is the lack of belief in gods, and since christians only believe in one of the gods that many others believe in, they are atheist toward the other gods. If you want to let me know when I'm not practicing what I preach, well, you can call me out anytime you hear me say that Jesus is my personal lord and savior without qualifying it with the appropriate *no religious belief implied* disclaimer in the sources section.

Answer 3

Well....as a Christian...the Bilble tells me that we should show all people, the love of Jesus Christ. The same love that was shown for us through the cross. The Bible also tells us that we are only humans and that we sinful by our nature. God doesn't call for us to perfect because he knows that on our own we cannot!, he only ask that we believe and that ask him to give us heart that passionately follows him. In a story an Atheist once asked,"What proof do you have that there is God?".Some one turned to him and said him,"What proof do you have that there isn't a God?"

Answer 4

We actually use are brains... We are rational people and can think for ourselves.. We can be either follower or leader, doesn't matter because we do what we do. If we follow what are told, then we can use our brains and think, what if I don't do it, consquenses etc.
We don't go by a book of make belief and do it. No one is actually doing it anyways, you own slaves? Woman still just baby makers and nothing more? No.... So, we're not following the Bible anyways..

Answer 5

I don't believe in anything at all.

Either I have evidence of a thing, and thus a certain confidence level in knowing it, or I do not form an opinion at all.

I do not utilize faith or belief in my life.

As far as my moral structure, I employ a calculus of human potential, which is a combination of aspects of deontology, utilitarianism, and ethical egoism.

Simplified:
Whatever increases human potential with no cost is morally required.
Whatever increates human potential more than it costs is morally permitted.
Whatever reduces human potential more than it benefits is morally questionable.
Whatever reduces human potential without any benefit at all is morally forbidden.

Answer 6

I am a Christian and i do not understand if you folow Jesus then why do you post questions in this manner your question is a form of attack Atheists are good people with different beliefs why cant people live tolerance with one another

Answer 7

We aren't an organized group with a shared belief system.

I personally try very hard to behave in a way according to my moral structure. I really dislike hypocrites.

Answer 8

Personally I believe reality is based on ( actually is ) mathematics.

Mathematics doesn't care whether one believes in it or not. Mathematics doesn't send people to Hell. Mathematics doesn't order its followers to kill others who follow different mathematics.

The problem with god believers is they seem to feel their gods hate the same people they do. Mathematics believers know Mathematics is incapable of such bigotry.

Answer 9

The only thing that atheists agree upon is that there are no Gods. Everything else is different.

Answer 10

LOL, could it be, by not following the contradictory creed from 4,000 years ago of a nonexistent god, we a less likely to be caught in hypocrisies?
