Is it necessary for an atheist to define God before God can be denied? Can an atheist deny God without having some exposure to the concept of God?

I'll speak for myself:
I do not believe in any religious god-- be it Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu, etc.
There may or may not be a creator-- or creators-- we cannot categorically say.
I am agnostic to the idea of a creator, but atheist to the religious creators (gods).

Apatheist: I'll speak for myself:
I do not believe in any religious god-- be it Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu, etc.
There may or may not be a creator-- or creators-- we cannot categorically say.
I am agnostic to the idea of a creator, but atheist to the religious creators (gods).

Then you are probably a deist. Your views are similar to Deism.

Atheism isn't "denial" per se, atheism is a disbelief in god(s).

Very well said, if you're in doubt about the existence of a creator, is it not then
wise to live one's life as if there is a creator and die only to discover there is none than live as if there is no creator and die only to discover there is indeed a creator who isn't happy with your denial of his existence while you were alive. What say you.

So what creator should I believe?
The Hindus alone have 33 million gods That is the religion of people in India alone. How many gods do you think there are? more than 50 million then!
And what if you believe in the wrong god?


All those beliefs can't be right, can they?
Ever thought if you're wrong?

I guess it's a mixture of Atheism and Agnostic Deism.

I see no reason why you cant "slaughter " him based on this stance. Nobody has all the answers thus every stance can be refuted and/or debated.

So please go ahead and "slaughter". Show us the violence your god taught you.

It is unwise to discuss God with religious folks, it is a topic they are experts in, they will simply slaughter you. best leave them to their folly
