If this be the case as you have made it compulsory everybody must believe in something then I have a couple of things I can list out.

I believe in the beauty and goodness in the world
I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mum and dad
I believe in friends
I believe in my girl friend

many things

What thing in the afore-listed is not something?

I'm only searching for knowledge and don't consider porting cos i ve witnsed God's factor in my life so ,i believe in him.
I was once like you until I realized that god factor you talking about is really the unknown which I prolly think you searching for,don't worry in due time you'd understand and for you to understand don't search for knowledge because you have it already embedded in you just fight the power with the embedded knowledge In you,until then your destiny is written in the pages of the bible.

The god factors are just events of providence and chance she just choose to attribute to a God, you can as well attribute it to the flying pink unicorn and it becomes the unicorn factor and help root your conviction in the belief of the flying unicorn . . . Its quite funny !!!

This is where religious folks get it wrong: the believe that everyone must believe in something.
Atheism is not a dogma, there's no 'believe' in it.

The same way you reject all other gods apart from yours is the same way other religion reject all other gods (including yours) except theirs.

johnydon22:
[b]I have been reading answers here and only aaronson seem to give an answer others were just attacking atheists or laying misconcepted notions about atheism and atheist instead of answering the question, let me give it from my own point of view.

We are in planet earth where people wish for magical way out of problems and circumstances thereby playing the victim's card, but a critical look at things will show you that nothing will solve your problems unless you put an effort into it yourself and if it works it is sorely your doing.

If you do not move that cup nothing will move it for you it will remain stationary until you move it, if you don't work on your circumstances nothing will do that for you.

I am an atheist and I don't wait around for anything or deity to solve my problems for me because as you know I don't believe or think they exist. any deity should be able to say "hi" first before solving problems.

So I am responsible for my circumstances and conditions . I take full responsibility for all my actions and I try to solve my problems myself, help from other people are also a huge plus because people are real
[/b]

Successful people are in every dimension of varying ideologies it has nothing to do with atheism or theism. speaking of myself I live a very exciting and spontaneous life free from any psychological depency on abstract concepts like deities to solve my problems. so successful or not successful is all my responsibility.

about the diabolical uncle stuff, most of us are not superstitious so we do not share that you idea of uncles or anyone affecting your life through any nonsensical diobolical means. we live our lives without such stupendous fears of something that isn't there.

about sins; we do not share the religious idea of sins because what religion consider sin most times have no moral weight on that action.
what I consider good or bad is how you treat people and the world around you so I try to live my life in a way that I don't hurt anyone.
and when I offend anybody I apologize to them instead of a deity
Gbam! cool

Re: Wat Do Atheists Believe In by cold(m): 10:37pm On Jul 26, 2015
It's simple,there is no god. No ifs,buts or maybes. Like others have alluded to,when we have problems,rather than talking to ourselves in the guise of prayers to some skydaddy, we take matters into our hands and deal with it head on. Funny enough,theists still try to solve their problems themselves after endless cycles of prayers. The tag it 'faith without work is dead'. It begs the question,if you still have to physically solve your problem,what then is the purpose of faith and recycled prayers? Why not just go ahead and deal with the problem?
Truth is people pray not because prayer works but it's just a placebo which gives the prayee a psychological benefit of taking the yoke of his shoulders and handing it over to a superior being. It has no physiological nor therapeutic effect. When you're done dissipating your energy supplicating to your skydaddy,your problems will still be there waiting for you to get off your knees and getting down to the real task of actually solving them.

I am not in anyway ridiculing your beliefs please, i very much understand that position because i have been there. . . it's not in anyway ridicule, i respect that.

Same way you have your conviction is exactly same way a muslim have his own conviction in Allah and a hindu in Brahma, am sure everyone thinks just like you that it works for them that is the delusion in belief, attributing mundane and everyday events to the mythical God each worships.

You pray i witness what? I have been a theist before my dear enough to see the delusion and implausibility of it all, i do not in anyway attribute acts of providence, chance and the results of others hard work and mine to any mythical being, i give the credit to the people who actually made it happen.

At your age, you can't distinguish facts from fiction. You are scammer's best customer.

You obviously have not read the bible. The downfall of man is one of his numerous mistakes and Noah's flood is a result of irrational anger

You are still repeating what they taught you 15years ago at Sunday school.
You mean your Bible doesnt contain where he killed people instantly for minor offences, destroyed the earth with water?
Compassionate you say? Too bad old Moses couldnt enter the promise land after all he had helped accomplish. A lot of yall are gonno burn in hell forever and ever because you held a grudge.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the one true merciful and compassionate God. Period.

Everything is an illusion....

Create your illusions yourself and believe in yourself. Don't relegate yourself to the level of a programmed robot.

You're a master mind. You're unique.

My goodness..... LIFE'S SO GOOD.
