Atheism is usually defined as a lack of belief in any god. That’s it, it has nothing to do with any kind of some definitive proof.

Usually, an agnostic is defined by a belief, that existence of god cannot be proven or disproven by our methods. Using this definition, it is clear, that the two are not the same, not even categorically, and that you can be both agnostic atheist and agnostic theist.

I didn't knw this, thanks for the information.
The point is if that there is no proof that gods exists, i don't see the reason to be a declaired atheist and stop searching for evdences of the truth, unless you are not interested in that

You’re welcome. Certainly, claiming to know there are no gods, if there’s no proof of their nonexistence is an extremely irrational position, but I don’t think, I’ve ever met an atheist like that (although I’m pretty sure they do exist). As we’ve established earlier, atheism is a broader category than just this extreme view.

One can believe whatever supernatural stuff and still be an atheist, as long as the said stuff does not include a deity. In fact, most atheists are not usually pure physicalists.

To the OP.

No one can really prove anything, if God exists or not. The difference is that Theists will believe that there is a God and Atheists won't.

Atheism doesn't really stands for "I don't think there is any God, and I can prove that" more like "I don't think/belive in God, but I can't prove it".

No, I don’t believe there exists anything actually ‘supernatural’. That being said, there seem to be a huge amount of genuine reports of various phenomena not explainable by our current science, but I believe, there ultimately is a natural explanation for them.

I'm Agnostic, which stands for "I don't know if there is a God or not, someone who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god"

I do however agree or share some principles with some Believers, other with some Agnostics and with some Atheists.

Most atheist are agnostics, but are tempted to label themselves atheists when they hear stupid or bigoted arguments from overty religious people.

Agnosto is the Greek world for unknown. I think it is healthy to question things. Can anyone know 100% there is a God? Every reasonable person has questioned Gods existance - or - non existance at some point of his life.

Most of us have to follow our gut feeling, existing evidence (NDE’s), or simply what reasonates best with us.

Atheists reject dogma and spirituality, however, tend to have unrealistic conceptions of social-morality and how belief-systems affect larger populations of people.

Then there is the problem of merely defining the gods.

Interesting observation.

People who think that they are that important that there is even a God that cares for them individually or claims that the cosmos was created with them specifically in mind are perfectly mentally balanced... People who are egocentric enough to not feel small and "insignificant" given the tremendous scope of the universe are the ones who are mentally sane.

That's not the physiologic profile of a psychopath at all...

One crucial thing, some people apparently do not realize is, that as there are many definitions of terms we're using, agnosticism and atheism have either a huge overlap, no overlap at all or they are qualitatively different categories, depending solely on our definitions. If we'd define atheism simply as a lack of conviction, that there's a deity and agnosticism in the most general and inclusive way possible, i.e. something in a matter of 'the view, that the existence or nonexistence of any deities is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable (although I don't exclude this possibility)', clearly, every agnostic can be either theist or atheist. An atheist, who isn't one hundred percent convinced that the statement 'there is a deity' is false, but isn't convinced there is one, would fall into the 'agnostic atheist' category. Similarly, every christian (or any other theist), who isn't one hundred percent convinced there's a god, would fall into 'agnostic theist' category. Clearly, both non-agnostic atheist and non-agnostic theist views are rather fringe. Even people like Richard Dawkins would fit the definition of 'agnostic atheist', as presented here.

Right the difference between the two that is while a donkey is a living thing u can see and touch, god is a supernatural power which is created by peoples imagination as long as someone can't prove it's material existence which we are far from considering what modern science knows today. I just wanted to show the similarity of the statements, that the image of god/gods and the intention to believe it, from various reasons, are with humans from the beginning of times. While blue donkey obviously doesn't exists anyway, but there are a lot of thing someone could believe in, the only thing the idea of god differs from the blue donkey is it's universality on this level.

Humans are important and there is no egocentrism in thinking that humans are special, it is just the reality, no other being can be compared to humans, except gods, if they exists.
Humans are rational and complex.
Atheists seens like psychopats because they don't want to accept that humans are the center of universe and many of them assume that irrational animals and the nature are superior than humans, which is of course not true. The animals and the nature exists to serve the humans, not the other way around.

Marx was making a structural functionalism argument about religion, and particularly about organized religion Marx believed that religion had certain practical functions in society that were similar to the function of opium in a sick or injured person: it reduced people's immediate suffering and provided them with pleasant illusions which gave them the strength to carry on. Marx also saw religion as harmful, as it prevents people from seeing the class structure and oppression around them, thus religion can prevent the necessary revolution

I said doesn't exist absolute negative proofs. It is like put someone behind the jails and obligate him to prove his innocense, you turn everybody guilty til prove their innocence, while the correct is the presumption of innocence. If you accuse someone of commit a crime, you should show the proofs of this crime, not he proves that he does't commited.

NO PROOF, NO CRIME
NO PROOF, NO GOD

It is different because god created us and he does not need to be understood by our science.

Atheists don't do an affirmation, but a negation!

No. Atheist affirms god don't exists but they will have to prove it

"Doesn't" isn't affirmation, it is a negation. Doesn't exist proof for absolute negations, then atheist shall not prove nothing. You should study rhetoric, logic and some basics of law school.

No. You are the one that should study Theology and the Bible, then you will see that God exists. If you are not sure, you cannot continue with your Idea. It is smallmindedness.

I will repeat again, before 1900 99% of christians were illiterate, read bible or not doesn't make someone christian and be illiterate isn't synonym of atheist.

Doesn't matter, you cannot be a true Christian if you cannot read the Bible. OK, maybe you can but only if the Saint Spirit touch your heart.

You don't need read the bible, remember the thief beside Jesus during crucification, Jesus said he would be together with him in paradise, that thief never did read the bible, because the bible still didn't exist. He wasn't even baptized or had communion...

We have no solid proof as to what someone else really thinks but many Atheists seem to believe what they say and give no signs of engaging in deceit. We can say they exist as comfortably as we can say people holding any other belief system exist. Nothing to do with if they're right or wrong.

The real question of Jolsonabo is if is possible be atheist even with the impossibility to prove the inexistence of god(s). However be an atheist is not know if god(s) exist(s) or not, but believe if god(s) exist(s) or not.

Then agnosticism (know if god(s) exist(s) or not) should be the natural condition of human being, except for ignostics...

They don't exist because we cannot say that some thing that we don't have proof don't exist. Atheism literaly means "negation of god", then they don't exist because it impossible and contradiotry

...It sounds like christians don't exist because they aren't capable to prove their god exists.

Be atheist isn't be capable to prove if god exists or not, but believe that god doesn't exist, independently if he has the proof or not.

Is some christian here capable to prove that Odin doesn't exist?

Even if Christians are not capable to proof that their God exists, that doesn't mean that they don't exists because religion is made mainly by faith and in fact,
faith in the unprobable is one of the fundaments of Christianity, because acording to the Bible, the Christian gets the salvation because of faith.

"The just shall live by faith", Habakkuk 2:4

Yet, if atheists choose to believe in something that they have no proof, it means that they are religious and that "atheism" don't exists in fact.

And about Odin, that doesn't matter because religion are not all equal. So i cannot say anthing about him if i am Christian and have no knowledge about the Nordic mythology.

no no you got it backwards, atheism is lack of believe or faith in a god, so they don't believe in any shite, alla, odin, yawe, thus not theist.

the burden of proof is on theist not on atheists that deny everything you say cause of no proof. it's like saying Santa is real. He works in mysterious ways, and does not give gifts to wrong doers. where's da proofa?

Back when I made myself this very question, I stumbled upon Ignosticism, which pretty much summed up my views on the topic

For Ignosticism, gods and any theological concepts don't have any coherent definition and can't be falsifiable, therefore, making any matter of debate meaningless
We deem atheism just as irrational as theism

Ignosticism is also (sometimes) equaled to Theological Noncognitivism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theological_noncognitivism).

Yes.

Everyone knows there is a God. Atheists are afraid of God judging them for their perversion so they pretend he doesn't exist. Never trust an atheist. They're already trying to hide from God.
