Atheism
Atheism isn’t another blind faith which can’t be backed up by any facts.
It’s more of a collection of people who call themselves atheists.
The atheists are the people who aren’t gullible enough to believe in any faith; some may say that we think too much to be fooled with the promise of an eternal torment of a soul.
Anyway I am currently an atheist my religious journey went something which isn’t too dissimilar to this;
My life in religions
0-8 about I naively believed in god
As I didn’t know you couldn’t, we only ever went to church on religious occasions like Christmas and even then only with school, alas I forget, probably as I have never remembered, my christening which was my first altercation with any religion.
8-12 about I was unsure/agnostic/I believed in The Triforce, Din, Nayru and Farore.
So within this section of four years of my life I was unsure about all of the uncertain factors that religion was created of, probably as I started thinking and I had, very basic, knowledge of other religions and a couple of similarities and the differences between them, like the Christian church states that there is only one God that does everything, then what is mother nature? if not some kind of deity.
12-Present I am now an atheist,
I am an atheist now because I have studied all of the data that I was given at younger ages and I reached the decision that if I was to believe in a God it wouldn’t be one that is as spiteful and glorified as the Christian one, and I would rather believe in a much older religion like the Egyptian one but even that isn’t old enough to go all of the way back to show some correlation with the Dinosaurs. So I know they came extinct at some point BC but if there was a God it would surely turn up about then or earlier alongside with the first one cell creatures (or potentially smaller) to have come to this planet.
If you’d like to search on the internet (google) what atheism is you should find all of this;
