The Basics
Lets start with the basics, Here are some key terms and definitions you will need to know:
•Atheist - someone who “denies” the existence of god.
-That’s it, that all an atheist is someone who denies the existence of a god, any god. That mean unless you accept the existence of every god you are in turn an atheist too. You’re probably atheistic towards many gods.
• Deny- to state that (something declared or believed to be true) is not true: to deny an accusation.
-when the word deny is used it is not meant as an absolute. It is impractical and foolish to accept any absolutes without evidence.
• Atheism- in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. [1] In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. [2] Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. [3] Atheism is contrasted with theism, [4] which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.
•God- a. A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.
b. The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.
-2. A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality
