Atheism and Objectivism

[KeinMitleid]

Do you feel that Atheism is a false objectivism, just as God is?

[Aviator]

Atheists claim that they know for sure that no religion is true, thus, they are taking a leap of faith just like a religious person does.

I agree. But I see your religious views are listed as agnostic. So in other words you base your spirituality on unsurity.

I'm not an atheist but your argument is the equivalent of saying I'm taking a leap of faith when I say Zeus and the other ancient Greek gods don't exist. There has to be either evidence or a logical argument for a belief not to be tossed away as nonsense.

Basically, I just admit that mankind currently has no possible way to prove or disprove the existence of a divine being or an afterlife.

But you are, in a sense. There is no such thing as absolute truth or value.

Obviously. But that doesn't mean we can completely rule out something similar from being true. Besides, Greek mythology has just as much evidence for it as any other religion.

Yes but we can neither disprove the existence of anything that we haven't seen.Isn't it a stupid argument?

Kind of, yeah. Which is why discussions over such matters are trivial, and should be put on the back burner.

Might as well believe in the existence of smurfs.

Which is none.
