+++agnosticism+++
PS Atheism just says that there’s an absence of belief in God - whoever made this response to the dumbed-down atheist’s opinion on theism is completely neglecting the agnostic nature of most atheists and chalking their lack of belief or even their belief in the lack of a god up to a belief that without a god there must have been no other way, natural or supernatural to spark some sort of cosmic momentum. God is a name and term glazed with conflict by people’s particular opinions of it - so some people become atheistic because they reject those opinions they hold to be objective.
There is no objective take on god, but for practical purposes atheism is usually in rejection to the christian idea of god or Abrahamic God. Atheism is not an assertion that the universe began with nothing nor is it an assertion that all things we might consider to be supernatural are bullshit. It just means that there was no deliberate intention set out to create the Universe. Mono-theism believes that there was one and poly-theism believes there were many.
I try not to concern myself with what the original intention of the Universe may have been or whether or not there was one, I just believe in at least a god because there is an emphasis in my mind in the order that exists in the universe, and I just can’t bring myself to believe that the order wasn’t designed or intended purposefully. :D
