So what does atheism stand for?

Unmovable claim:
“The facts of atheism cannot be proven. How do we know that God does not exist? The fact is that atheism is a belief that concludes the available evidence. ” (Alister McGrath, Scientist, Oxford)
It is basically almost impossible to claim and prove that something does NOT exist. In the case of God, this would mean that we have thoroughly examined the whole Universe and all reality outside the Universe in all conceivable ways for all conceivable forms of existence, and we have found nothing – and only then could we claim: GOD DOES NOT REALLY EXIST!

Therefore, most people of “non-theistic orientation” remain (even at the cost of ignoring the facts) in the position of “agnosticism,” i.e., “I am sorry, but I cannot comment on this question”…  So why, atheism?
“I had reasoned not to want this world to make any sense, so I finally decided that it really didn’t have it … For me, and no doubt in most of my contemporaries, the nonsense philosophy was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we longed for was both liberations from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We had reservations about this morality because it hindered our sexual freedom. ” (Aldous Huxley)

“Leaving aside some exceptions, rationalist atheism no longer has the dogmatic form it generally had in the 19th century. Few followers believe that humanity could live only according to the laws of reason, and that reason could create the conditions for universal happiness and peace. Most of them are agnostic rather than atheistic. They do not claim that there is no supernatural order of God, but they are satisfied with the claim that they see no evidence of their existence anywhere.

Among the thinkers and writers who preach rationalist atheism, we chose biologist, Jean Rostand. In his very nice book, which bears the strange title “What do I believe?”, Rostand admits that his rationalist beliefs are also faith. “I admit that it would be difficult for me to logically justify some of my views, even though they are views that matter to me a lot.” (Ignác Lepp, psychologist)

“I am an atheist emotionally. I have no facts to prove that God does not exist, but I suspect so strongly that I do not want to waste time. “
(Isaac Asimov, author of SCI-FI) The fact is, as Rostand suggests, or Huxley puts it to the fullest, that atheism in practice is based largely on EMOTIONAL REASONS: I don’t want God to exist – it’s “important” for me not to exist. Therefore, I state an APRIORIAL1 CLAIM: “God does not exist!”

From this predetermined point of view, I am only interpreting things to suit my statement: I choose “atheistic,” albeit less probable and much more skillful “explanations” of the observed phenomena, and where this is not possible, or I ignore the facts, or I reject and deny, or accuse those who testify to something that I do not think (must not!) exist, of psychological deviation and hallucinations2, deception and deception, etc.…
For example: “Unlike Voltaire, who considered Christianity to be false but influential, Nietzsche has no interest in whether Christianity is true or false. He is neither a rationalist nor an indirect student of encyclopedists. The truth, in my eyes, only makes as much sense as it is effective. He does not hesitate to lie to deception and pretense if they are more effective than the truth. “What do we care about God today, faith in God? Today, God is nothing but a faded word, not even a concept. ” (Ignác Lepp, psychologist, a former atheist

In other words, the average atheist in the area of ​​his faith usually fails common sense. The logical and rational practices he routinely uses in other areas of life fall in his faith — and what he would find absurd in another realm seem “rational” to him in his faith because he firmly believes that the very idea of ​​God is and must be a priori irrational and therefore anything contrary to God’s existence and religion is so a priori “rational” and done…
For example:
– Hi, you say you have Grandma?
– Yes, I saw her and I met her!
– Has anyone other than you seen her?
– Well, yes, mom, dad, my sister,…
– But we didn’t see her! We only believe what we see! If it exists, show it to us!
– Well, that’s not possible – she lives in Vladivostok.
– You see? You already have a problem! It is only a product of your imagination because you see what others do not see and, therefore, do not exist!
– But she does!
– Then show us!
– Well, go to Vladivostok, and if she is there, you might see her…
– You’re fogging! You set the conditions! If it exists, show it to us here and now. If you can’t do it, then it doesn’t exist!
– So where did my mom come from if she wasn’t born to my grandmother, huh?
– It is not necessary to resort to “creation by a grandmother.” There is a theory of vacuum energy fluctuations that could explain this. Your mom emerged as a result of such a fluctuation. It is doubtful – but possible! And say for yourself: This scientific theory of TV origin is not my mother much more fascinating and exciting than the primitive concept of “being born of a grandmother”?
In the “ordinary” world, such an argument would make such laughter.
But when it comes to God and religion, a similar argument suddenly seems extremely rational to an atheist!
And another “fictional feature”:
When we talk to atheists, we find that: Most of them have in mind some very naive notion of Christianity (especially Catholicism), which usually has as much in common with Christianity (Catholicism) as astrology and astronomy. With this naive idea, they passionately discuss, refute it, and are convinced that they refute true Christianity…
… And for that world, they cannot be told, not even from Christians, that what they refute does not really exist at all. They believe it, and that’s it. If they think that their idea of ​​Christianity is Christianity, then it is, and all Christians should accept it (and perhaps change disciplined to match it…)
So NO FACTS!
Only clear and pure faith (and they still have the audacity to be called “infidel,” i.e., “unbelievers” !)…
… In a tangible unsubstantiated IDEOLOGY OF ATHEISM, …
… Which itself is in clear conflict with the facts and objective reality…
… And all this only because this ideology SUITS THEM…
CONCLUSION: “Atheistic religion” and “atheistic mythology”?
– AN ATHEIST IS NOT AN AGNOSTIC, BUT IS AN ATHEIST – that is, his statement is, “GOD DOESN’T EXIST.” Absolutely, unquestionably, never, nowhere, and in no way. Not the statement “I have not met God, and I have no reason to think it exists,” as the agnostic would say, but a positive statement: “NO GOD ABSOLUTELY EXISTS!”
– But how does our atheist know? Is it somehow proven, confirmed? Of course not, as one of them says: “Only an idiot requires proof of the absolute unconditional non-existence of something” – because it is inherently impossible. We all agree on that.
– So the atheist ONLY BELIEVES that God does not exist. So what could he believe in something like that?
