What godless means

[loverofhumanity]

I need to define what godless means first :
godless means to believe in nothing. To believe life is meaningless. That this life is just pleasure, instinct, and that the fittest shall prevail.
Many atheists believe in something, which can be wisdom, art, creativity, fairness, cooperation, knowledge, justice, peace.
They pursue these things, and their life is filled with meaning.

But godlessness is the rejection of all the positive values theists associate with deities. And trust me, there are theists who are godless, because they think religion is just a cultural figment.

So godless doesn't mean necessarily atheist.

Some of the most ‘godless societies’ are countries like Iran and Afghanistan where religious fanatics rule the country and oppress women and girls. They claim to be ‘religious’ but they are the cruelest people on earth. Atheists are saints compared to them.

Most university graduates in Iran are women. If anyone is getting short end of the stick in Iran, it's men.

Sounds like the religious fanatics running Florida, or Texas, or Wyoming or Oklahoma or Kansas, etc.

Atheists are saints compared to them.

Atheists run the gamut of behaviors just like every one else.
