4 Facts About Atheism That People

 Don't Really Know

1. Atheism is about cleaning up the cobwebs

Yes, atheism is negative in that it cleans up the cobwebs
religions have planted in our minds. When you clean up the
house you have to sweep the dirt, dust and grime, and throw
away the rubbish.

That's exactly what atheism does to a mind filled with a lot
of religion's dangerous garbage, especially supernaturalism
which is a primitive and childish belief in the existence of
imaginary worlds and supernatural beings.

Atheism leans on reality. Atheism is innocence lost. And atheism
is genuine enlightenment. That is all there is to real atheism.

Theist -- Your atheism is mere negation.
Atheist -- Not so, except as the affirmation of any truth negates
the falsehood it contradicts.
-- Charles Bradlaugh - A Theist and an Atheist

Atheism is part of the growing up process. You grow up and grow
out of religions -- just like with fairy tales. Atheism is innocence lost
and maturity gained.

 

2. Atheism is in your face, and unavoidable

There's no getting away from atheism. That is simply because you
cannot get away from reality no matter how hard you try. Only the
dead can afford to do so. The living are forced to face the facts of
life whether they like it or not.

Nature does not allow imaginary creatures and their shenanigans to
mess around in the serious business of life. Nature is no respecter
of religions.

Small wonder then that spook worshipers turn to various mind tricks,
such as self-deception, paying lip service and going through the
motions to hang on to their superstitions.

3. Atheism sets you free from superstition

Since atheism is the affirmation and recognition of reality that is the
natural world, there's nothing in atheism that conflicts with reality, truth
and facts. 

Atheists simply turn to science to learn about our world while at the
same time laughing off the stupid, childish and silly fairy tales that the
godfellas try to foist upon them.

Thus, atheism liberates your mind from superstitious beliefs and forces
you to look at reality in the face. Atheism also frees you from the fetters
of religion, unchains your reason, and enables you to think outside the
box.

4. More people are choosing to face the truth

Through the ages, man has ignored warnings from his saner self about
the lies and deceptions of the gurus of religions. But then he couldn't do
anything about it since he was a prisoner of a way of life imposed upon
him by his parents. And, incidentally, that is how religions mainly bolster
their numbers -- through procreation.

But times and values have changed and more and more people have
gained their hard-won rights to free themselves from the shackles of a
primitive, lying and deceiving culture and way of life called religion
-- even if that means facing unpleasant consequences.

And even the "men of God" are abandoning their boogeyman in droves
now, at least in the West. Surely, conscience has caught up with the
guru's spin doctors. No more lying, deceiving and defrauding the sheeples
by the shepherds any more. They want to make an honest living for a change.

The winds of freedom from superstitions are now blowing across the world.
The powerful genie of atheism is out of the bottle and there's no way to put
it back in.

Contrary to our regular intuition, intelligence and stupidity are not really mutually
exclusive. How's that, one may ask.

Simple. Because intelligence is about the head and higher faculties while senseless
and irrational behavior is about the heart and it's feelings and emotions -- something 
not always reconcilable.  

A truly intelligent person gives free expression to his higher and realistic faculties while trying
to rein in his undesirable feelings and emotions. (Me)
