Atheism

When you die, your heart ceases to beat, your brain stops functioning, and eventually your body will decay. This happens to all people, regardless of belief.

You, in words, will cease to exist. It is impossible for anyone to grasp this concept entirely because the 'experience' itself is an entire lack of experience. The concept of nonexistence can be compared to the lack of existence of a human before being conceived or brought into the world - The universe was here before you were born and will continue when you are gone.

It cannot be ruled out, that when approaching death, you may experience "dreams" your own conscience has created. So before death, it is indeed possible to enter a sort of heaven, and that being your final experience, may set a certain mood or feeling before your total annihilation of 'being'; which will come without preexisting knowledge.

Whatever personal belief you hold will dictate what you think will happen to yourself or others - but what we do know to be fact is that we do not know what happens after death. We may think we know (in the form of theories, practices, beliefs, etc) but we do not really know, since you are alive, and whatever you believe will happen, might only happen after your death. (So, hence, you do not know what will happen until you die.)This doesn't mean you shouldn't believe in your faith, or necessarily that your faith is wrong; it only means that we, as flawed beings, cannot be certain as to what awaits us after death.

Yes, Creativity of the World Church of the Creator, now known as The Creativity Movement is a legal religion. Usually a religion is regarded as "legal" if the organization is promoting it, and such is the case with Creativity. Not only is it legal, but it's also a protected religion and recognized by the U.S. Armed Forces as a religion on the same grounds as Wicca and Scientology are recognized.

Second Answer

Creativity is the name of a racial religious creed that was founded by Ben Klassen in 1973 with the publication of the book Nature's Eternal Religion. Klassen is a well known individual having been the inventor of the electric can-opener, founder of a city in Nevada, as well as being a one time, Florida State Legislator.

Adherents of the religion believe that their race is their religion, meaning that White people are their main focus. Some religions focus on rocks, and some on the moon, and others on their version of a deity, theirs on the White Race. They also believe that the White Race is Nature's Finest, which they state has a psychological and factual basis as White people have accomplished far more than the other races put together. They also believe that loving and being loyal to their race is good and call it "racial loyalty," and that not being loyal to their race is bad. They also believe that what is good for White people is Good and what is bad for White people is Bad, and anything which helps White people survive, expand and advance is good.

The below is also correct: China is Communist, and Communism is based on Marxism. Marx called religion "the opium of the people", and his philosophy was atheist. It was, however, dogmatic in its own way, and one could very well say that Maoism and Stalinism are as dogmatic as religion is. A modern philosopher could well remark that: "Communism is the opium of the people".

Thus: China is atheist because the state doesn't want competition other dogmas. Especially (if you consider Christianity) ones which are, essentially, communist.

Although below is correct in that many Chinese "religions" aren't theistic the real reason is because China is officially an atheist state because it is officially communist.

None of the religions originally present in China (Taoism, Buddhism, or Confucianism) are especially theistic as such matters are viewed in the west. Falun Gong has roots only as far back as 1992 and it too is has a non-western view of deities. The imported religions (Islam and Christian) are theistic in the western sence but constitute a small minority position.

The question then is whether the motivation to forbid religions is to enforce atheism or that religions, in general, offer an alternate view or appraoch to the states edicts. This is especially true of Islam and Christianity which propose an over riding instruction to their followers to put religious viewpoints and rules (God-made law) ahead of state-made law.

to say the existence of God is acquired through human experience, is to denied the existence of anything else other then human experience.

people are born with out human experience,yet right and wrong is ingrain in their existence that can't be denied, or hasn't yet being explore to make any confirmation as to a child having made a choice as to believe or not believe in a deity. the mare fact of one being born does not make one an atheist, to say that a child is born atheist is to say there is nothing before human experience yet we know there is just the mare fact the the child is born 'no through human experience' but through something humans are unaware of; and experience doesn't account for that creation of the one being born; testifies to the existence of something else(God),beyond human experience.

Answer:

Science indicates that people are born with a capacity for superstitious belief. This behavior had some evolutionary survival value in that taught us to avoid places that we feared had large carnivores. If we were right we lived, if we were wrong very little harm was done.

This does not however make us theists. The advantage of being mentally driven beings rather than slaves to our instincts is that we can analyze our instincts and overcome those which interfere with the good workings of society. As an example we have an instinct to eat, but avoid chowing down at the supermarket until we can't move.

With regard to religion, there is no instinct to be religious, it ai an opportunistic advantage taken by some to profit from the instinct to be superstitious. It diverts our efforts to nonproductive ends.

So yes we are born with a capacity to believe in magic and superstition, but not an instinct to be theists. That implies we are born as atheists.

Answer: No, we are not. No one is ever born an atheist regardless of where they stand in life now. To say anyone is born atheist is truly simplifying (or dumbing down) logic, usually for the sake of winning an argument. (i.e., not believing in God or any gods means to be atheist; when we are born we aren't believing in God or any gods. That equals born atheist, and therefore, I win.) This so called "logic" is misleading. Though we are not necessarily born theists, one must remember, Atheismis the disbelief in God or any gods (or a belief that there is no God or gods). We do nothave the capacity to form any beliefsor dis-beliefs when we are born and a few years that follow. This states that while we are bornunaware, once we become consciously aware, we make the choice to believe in God or not. We are not simply born into either side.

Answer

Yes, people are born atheists. It is that simple and that logical. Religious beliefs are learned behavior. Most religious families indoctrinate their children from birth. Those children have no choice because a religious life is all they know. Many become atheists after they leave home. Any person who believes they could recite their religious rhetoric if it was never taught to them or invent elaborate religious dogma on their own is being self deceptive and illogical.
