It is defined as a disbelief or the lack of belief in Gods or God.
I propose that there is no such thing as atheism. Here is my reasoning:
In order to be an atheist, you must know how to define a God or Gods. Therefore, if you can define a God or Gods, then you are denying what you are defining. In conclusion, atheists have to deny an exisistence of what they believe exists.
Take for instance, I am told that apples don't exist. My friend, the theist, tells me that they do exist. He describes them to me in great detail. They grow in trees and orchards. They come in red or green. They have an outer skin which can be peeled. You can eat them.
The atheist listens to this and has to acknowledge this in order to deny there are no apples. In other words, I understand what you describe to me is an apple, therefore I have to believe what is believed to be an apple in order to say there is no such thing as an apple.
So, now I ask. Is atheism real?
