The Atheistic Delusion has been one of my oustanding writeup concerning human belief system.
Philosophically and theologically, it primarily serves as a response to one of Darkin's book titled "The God delusion," where he made several wrong accusations and claims.
Personally, am presenting this on Nairaland religious section. as a virtual and religious platform

I will write very abridged with high order of accuracy. Presenting my claims in form of arguements which will allow proper justification and concequent (conclusion).



I will hereby start with Richard Darwkin's claims and responses from popular theologian.

In The God Delusion, Dawkins
contends that a supernatural
creator almost certainly does
not exist and that belief in a
personal god qualifies as a
delusion, which he defines as a
persistent false belief held in
the face of strong
contradictory evidence.

He is
sympathetic to Robert Pirsig's
statement in Lila (1991) that
"when one person suffers from
a delusion it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from
a delusion it is called
religion."

Dawkin also claim that the theory of the universe made without a creator is preferred to the theory of the universe made with a creator.


As a christian, i personally find Dawkin's documentations very interesting not until i discovered that Dawkin was once a christian.

Philosophically, there are two questions to be asked:

1- Why did Dawkin leaves religion?

2- Why did he amalgamate with atheism?


Solution to questions in the next post.

However, in response to dawkinian's theory of existence and life embryonic origin, Oxford theologian Alister
McGrath (author of The
Dawkins Delusion? and
Dawkins' God) argues that

Dawkins is ignorant of Christian
theology, and therefore unable
to engage religion and faith
intelligently.

Dawkins was unable to endure the commandments and standards that God or religion set for living.
And as a result, left religion for religion.

Why religion for religion and not religion for atheism?

The simple answer to that will be provided in the next post.

Yes! It is because Atheism is a religion if only it ever exist. Because the last time i checked my bible, i was still unable to highlight an atheist.
That is presently not our focus now as i will be talking about that in my coming post.

Atheism is a religion because believing in a supernatural God is a belief system and disbelieving in it still remains a belief system.
What makes up a religion is not just the presence of an external or mytheological being but including the presence of man's abstract and intangible components in which the greatest of it is faith (used for engaging a belief system).

However, the occurence of man's intellectual capacity and the presence of man (who the bible figuratively called god) qualifies atheism for religion.


If truly atheism is a religion, the prompting question is to precisely define atheism in order to provide an hypothesis and justify concequent.

This will be provided in the next post.

Atheism is like unto mathema where mathematics is the language of science, technology and industry.
Atheism in the order hand is also a religion of science, technology and industry but including some special aspescts like education, invention (not innovation) and research.



Statistics...
On earth, atheism is the leading religion and mostly practiced in developed countries.

It dominated the earth but does'nt qualifies one for eternity and immortality.

The above assertations are so wrong, so bleeped up that I don't even want to start debunking it.



I trust others, more eloquent and more patient than I am, will educate the OP.





Meanwhile, who has seen fuel??

Now that you take atheism as a religion, shouldnt it be judged like every other religion?! It could be the only elusive true religion afterall! Also it could be displacing Christianity's place in Western civilization.
