That we have to have faith to be an atheist. Complete nonsense, of course.

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Faith and belief are the root of all evil.

It is obvious if you look at the core definitions:

  • belief is the uncritical acceptance of a premise when no evidence for or against it exists or is immediately available.
  • faith is the uncritical acceptance of a premise despite the existence of evidence that invalidates it.

Both of these are used to make people ignore reality in favour of fantasies and lies. Because if something was a verifiable fact grounded in reality, it would require neither faith nor belief.
