"Atheism"
Atheism = A worldview that excludes the existence of or need for the supernatural
This viewpoint leads to the following:
1. No ultimate good.
2. No ultimate purpose.
3. No ultimate morality.
4. No ultimate meaning.
5. No ultimate truth.
Why don't atheists believe in the supernatural?
#1 Human suffering
#2 Religious hypocrisy
"In society as a whole, the number of those who profess no belief in God (the nones) more than doubled between 2007 and 2014."
—Michael Lipka (Pew Research Center)
Practical Atheists = People whose stated beliefs and behaviors are in contradiction to one another
