... Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of
belief in the existence of deities. In a
narrower sense, atheism is specifically the
position that there are no deities.
Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of
belief that any deities exist.
Atheism is contrasted with theism , which
in its most general form is the belief that at
least one deity exists.
The term atheism originated from the Greek
(atheos ), meaning "without god(s)",
used as a pejorative term applied to those
thought to reject the gods worshipped by the
larger society. With the spread of freethought ,
skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in
criticism of religion, application of the term
narrowed in scope. The first individuals to
identify themselves using the word "atheist"
lived in the 18th century.
Arguments for atheism range from the
philosophical to social and historical
approaches. Rationales for not believing in
any supernatural deity include the lack of
empirical evidenc,the problem of evil,
the argument from inconsistent revelations,
rejection of concepts which cannot be falsified ,
and the argument from nonbelief.
