I recently had a conversation regarding Atheism with an old Athiest friend who is a 67 year old engineer and a mathematic wiz.
I asked him whether Atheism has any beliefs which are unique to Atheism? - before making any comments remember the question pertains to "unique beliefs".
His aswer was "we do not believe in a God or Supernatural being".
I responded : Well that is not a belief, that is a dis-belief of someone elses belief.
So I ask again, what beliefs are unique to Atheism?
His next answer "We accept Evolution as fact"
My response: Well you dont have to be an athiest to hold that belief, religious, agnostics anyone can hold that belief, it is not unique to Atheism.
So I ask you all:
1. Does Atheism has any beliefs which are unique to Atheism?
2. Is the so called "freedom" of Atheism just the illusion given by an endless empty space that traps and imprisions the intellect?
