Is atheism a conclusion?
Atheism is not a conclusion, it is a lack of a conclusion. It is a state of not being convinced by the presently available data. Give better evidence and many atheists would accept theism.
What is spirituality in simple terms?
Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.
Is there such a thing as a spiritual atheist?
In such cases, it is unlikely that you could find an atheist who is “spiritual” because there is a real contradiction between living a “God-centered” life while not believing in the existence of any gods. This is not, however, the only way the concept of “spirituality” can be used.
Is the debate between atheism and theism just another argument?
Instead, the theist may argue that the debate between atheism and theism is not simply an argument about whether “one more thing” exists in the world. In fact, God is not to be understood as an entity in the world at all; any such entity would by definition not be God.
Can an argument for God’s existence provide some evidence for its existence?
It is of course possible that an argument for God’s existence could provide some evidence for God’s existence, in the sense that the argument increases the probability or plausibility of the claim that God exists, even if the argument does not provide enough support by itself for full-fledged belief that God exists.
How can we challenge the presumption of atheism?
A second way to challenge the presumption of atheism is to question an implicit assumption made by those who defend such a presumption, which is that belief in God is epistemologically more risky than unbelief.
