is implicit atheism actually ''atheism''?

[leibowde84]

Atheism is certainly a declarative position regarding a single proposition (read: "At least one divine being exists"). That declarative position probably runs something like "I'm not convinced."

That's it. It's no more complicated than refusing to buy whatever garbage the snake oil salesman is hawking on your doorstep. Or are you arguing that refusing to buy snake oil is somehow a worldview?

Good point. The only declaration prescribed by the term "atheism" is "I'm not convinced".

Is implicit atheism actually ''atheism''? Is there implicit theism? Can you have implicit atheism without implicit theism? If atheism essentially has no meaning ie not a declarative position, then how can you have the same word describe a declarative stance, an implicit stance, yet also be used without a signifier? That makes no sense, without the signifier, it means nothing.


have a nice day!

Implicit atheism is atheism die to the absence of any declaration regarding the existence of God.
