How do you define atheism?
For some religious folk, atheists are anything from immoral hedonists to simple unbelievers. And while some atheists use the same extremist rhetoric they hate to hear from the religious, others seek to give it a new definition.
According to USA Today, that definition is this: “Care for one’s community and fellow human beings, love of country and cherished American principles, the pursuit and expansion of knowledge…’positive atheism.’”
Atheist Margaret Downey (founder of the Anti-Discrimination Support Network) has fought prayer in school in the past. Today, she’s fighting the negative image of atheism. She wants to call a unity-building meeting in 2011 for non-believers, to emphasize the positive parts of atheism.
Read USA Today’s full article. What do you think? Is atheism healthy? Hideous? Will it end up with the same good and bad attributes of religion, thereby taking on the face of its opposite? Leave us your comments.
