Religion. Atheism is a single position on a single issue. Without religion there is no position to reject and therefore no reason to identify oneself as an Atheist. 'A' being not and theism basically meaning religion. I.E. nonreligious.

The question as posed can mean any of several things. Keeping in mind that atheists have no uniting positions except the absence of a deity, potential answers include:

  • Atheism is the original state of human society before mankind invented gods and religion
  • Modern atheism results from rational thought and a disenchantment with religion
  • Atheist feel the human race rose from evolutionary pressures from earlier life forms
  • Atheists feel the "ego" or self is a result from our brain structure
  • The Universe arose from the "Big Bang"
  • Life arose from natural process
  • There is no meaning to lifr other than the continuation of the species

Most atheists (including myself) believe in evolution; i.e. that we evolved from past organisms over millions of years.

If you are thinking of The Bible verses which explain the creation of Adam and Eve, it is worth noting that some people interpret them literally (i.e. those events really happened), while other people interpret them figuratively (i.e. the events didn't really happen and are a metaphor for something else).

Atheist means "Without a theist belief".

It simply means that an Atheist has no belief in a deity (God, Allah, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Buddha, etc.)
