His purpose for writing this particular article was to inform other people as to why he believes that “atheism is a much more comfortable belief than theism and why theists should be miserable because they are theists.” I believe that everyone has the right to believe whatever they so desire and that everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

After reviewing McCloskey’s article it is clear to say that he wanted to truly appeal to an atheist audience. McCloskey refers to the arguments as "proofs"‚ which means that he is trying to insinuate that these arguments are not scientifically proven and are not based on facts. A proof is a statement that is unquestionable and lead to an end. He also implies that the arguments cannot definitely establish the case for God‚ so therefore they should be abandoned because this way he can use that term

When I was getting older‚ I’ve always had my doubt about religion. I have a question that how people have and choose their religion. Even though Korea have provided a background for Confucianism for many thousands of years‚ most of people believe in the Christian religion and very popular with it. There are also lots of pseudo-religions that are trying to cheat other people in order to get money.

and white standards conceived by the extremist agenda have extinguished unity in addressing issues important to the progression of American society. As illustrated by Sarah Jones in "Why the Right is Obsessed with the Sutherland Springs Shooter’s Atheism‚" the denial of religious tolerance by the dominant evangelical right allows ill-intentioned interests to manifest and in effect change the topic when serious national issues are brought to the forefront. Essentially‚ religious extremists deny truth

Last fall‚ we went on tour debating the topic "Is Religion Good For The World?" Our arguments were captured on film for a new documentary‚ Collison. Are our morals dictated to us by a supreme entity or do discoveries made by science and reason‚ make Atheism a natural conclusion? You decide.

Lewis Vs. Freud: Does God Exist? C.S. Lewis makes a far more convincing argument for the existence of God in Mere Christianity than does Sigmund Freud in The Future of an Illusion. Both works reflect on what religion really is; Lewis stands for the view that religion is about truth and attempts to prove that God must exist‚ whereas Freud claims that religion is actually about idiocy and is created by humans as a form of wishful thinking. He describes it as an illusion‚ a made up social construct

As a result of some discussions with my friends‚ (if my claim to friendship is not uncalled for) I have realised that after having known me for a little time only‚ some of them have reached a kind of hasty conclusion about me that my atheism is my foolishness and that it is the outcome of my vanity. Even then it is a serious problem. I do not boast of being above these human follies. I am‚ after all‚ a human being and nothing more. And no one can claim to be more than that. I have a weakness
