Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

Atheists believe that there is no corresponding reality to the theist's god-concept. It is a belief, and it is a world-view. Unfortunately, being God-less, honesty is not the atheist's strong suit.

What a silly claim. As if people define their world views based on what they DON'T believe in. That would mean that YOUR wold view is based on your lack of belief in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and magical unicorns,as well as the long list of all the other things you DON'T believe in. How absurd.

Clearly being God-full doesn't help much with your ability to think rationally.

Atheism isn't about spreading a "truth". It's about not believing what theists are arguing for.

What is it you think I'm trying to prove?

Most of the atheists I know also value critical thinking. Their reasons for being atheists tend to be a natural consequence of that value. Most of them don't feel they have been shown good, reliable, predictable evidence for god.

Yet they don't think about Atheism critically, and take it on belief, please.

The biggest positive reason i can think of is the absolutely humungus lack of evidence for gods.
So much so gods are the most un-evidenced human concept in the history of humanity.
Now that is 100% truthful argument.

Atheists have reasons for their views like anyone else. Positive/negative, that's kind of a personal opinion call whether you want to judge those reasons as positive or negative.

Yet , they have never given any reasonable proofs/evidences and reasons and arguments, this make them a blind-faith. Right, please?

I disagree. The theist starts the conversation by claiming that there is a god. The atheist uses critical thinking by disagreeing with the theist when the theist cannot provide any good evidence for a god.

@paarsurrey , sometimes I can't help but wonder.

You lend atheism a lot more significance than most atheists do. Do you realize that?

Atheism is not an active force that prevents people from realizing the truth of the existence of God. Typically it is instead just a serene realization that there is in fact no reason to worry about deities.

There are Atheism activists, one among them is Christopher Hitchens, please.
