Answer 2

Wrong. Taking these questions one at a time. The historicity of Jesus is very much in doubt because his life is not well documented. There is no description of him, that we can say with certainty, was written by any of his contemporaries. No reliable image of him, no tomb, nothing he ever wrote with his own hand and nothing he ever owned. He thus falls into the same historical category as King Arthur or William Tell. Supposed historical figures about which all evidence is hearsay or anecdotal. Thus the historicity of Jesus is questionable. On balance, however, I do think Jesus was a real historical figure and the reason may surprise you. It is clear from the Gospels that Jesus was a Nazarene. This conflicts with the prophesy of the Messiah's birth place in the old testament. So a contrived story of his birth - with a Roman census of which there is no historical documentation - is created so that he can be born in the "right" place. If you were simply going to make-up this story why not simply make him a Judean? Yes, I do accept the historicity of Aristotle as his life and works are well documented. I think you meant to use the example of Socrates. Yes, I do doubt the historicity of Socrates because we have only two contemporary accounts of him and these accounts differ markedly. I think the Socrates described by Plato is largely Plato's invention. Lastly, I need to say that accepting the existence of Jesus is not the same thing as accepting he is a god. As a contemporary example I accept that Son Myung Moon is a real person that does not mean I accept his other claims of divinity. In the words of David Hume "Which is the more likely: that the whole natural order is suspended or that a Jewish minx should tell a lie" Peace.

Answer 3

Atheism has regularly been defined as the denial of the existence of a deity. Under such a definition—one that implies a positive, dogmatic assertion of antitheism—the role of atheism in American history (and in most other histories) would be limited. It is important to note, however, the existence of some unabashedly atheistic individuals and organizations in America, such as the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism (founded in 1925). A more capacious definition of atheism is available, however, one in which the stress is on a lack of belief or even a sheer lack of philosophical interest, in God, rather than on a positive denial of God's existence. Such an atheism, grounded in Enlightenment rationalism and supported by a scientific paradigm insisting that the matter of the physical world represents reality in its entirety, was bolstered (albeit in different ways) by the nineteenth-century attempts of Feuerbach, Marx, and Nietzsche to offer naturalistic accounts of religion, and by a positivist current within twentieth-century philosophy in which any and all questions about the existence of God were dismissed as unintelligible. While these intellectual movements derived much of their energy and personnel from Europe, they have intersected dynamically with the broader tradition of American free thought. Individuals such as Clarence Darrow, John Dewey, Robert G. Ingersoll, Abner Kneeland, and Joseph Lewis (some of whom can be defined as atheists; others, not) have all helped to define the varieties of atheism, antitheism, and agnosticism. An important contribution to the history of atheism has been the recent effort, beginning with those of the American Atheists organization, founded by the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair, to comprehend and protect atheism within the terms of the First Amendment and Jefferson's wall of separation between church and state. The 1963 Supreme Court decision on school prayer in Murray v. Curlett marked the beginning of a strenuous effort to defend the civil rights of atheists through the court.
