OPINION: Overview on Atheism
Atheism generally is not a belief or a belief system. More specifically it’s not some kind of demon worshiping, Satanist, or anti-christ movement. Belief is a certain state of being and a system in which a person or a group of people believe in supernatural phenomenons, superstitions and deities. Atheism basically has no beliefs and more specifically doesn’t believe in any deity, they only attribute everything on nature and the theory of evolution and. Obviously they won’t be convinced by the concept of intelligent design. There are still a lot of misconceptions about atheism as of today which makes them look really bad in society.
In some cases, several atheists can be called anti-christs since some of them thinks Christianity is preposterous and narrow. Some of them also influence people to stop believing in God(s) and Jesus Christ. In that sense, they can be called anti-christs. Another factor that must be considered in understanding why some of them eventually became Antichrists is when christians criticize them about their choices and way of thinking; of course they really tend to criticize back in order to defend their own opinions.
Overall, I can confidently say that they are not Satanists or demon worshipers because satanism is clearly a sign of belief. Atheists are neutral minded people and are very practical in some sense. Most of them came from different religious groups but later on became neutral or free thinkers due to the impractical things they see and experience in religion. They also shouldn’t be labeled or associated with negative things because they too have their own ways of keeping their morals. In fact most of them pick their moral lessons from the bible and other religious sectors and belief systems.
Atheism isn’t really that bad after all if we just try to observe things neutrally in a higher perspective. Being religious is a choice and atheists also have the right to choose what to believe in to. Everyone might be unique and different, but everyone’s just the same too. Everyone should respect their choices and decisions too as long they’re being fair to everyone and does not hurt anybody.

True. Some people thought that being an atheist means they hate God.
@originalworks
Siguro, there are atheist who are open to an intelligent designer if given the grand facts to support a grand claim (That's the burden If there is an evidence). But like Christians (and people from other religions) there are also extremist, non-thinking atheists who will say no no matter what evidence you have.
Btw, have you read Richard Dawkins' God Delusion? Very fascinating, right?
I see your point sir. Pero in my most basic understanding of the word, it simply denotes the act of rejecting the idea about the existence of any diety. Meaning if one is still open about the idea of the existence of a deity, one is simply standing in between the fine lines of believing and and doubting its own thoughts. However, the word you might be looking for could be "weak atheism". In my own analysis, this could be the fall back for atheists who felt empty with the absence of belief and romance (since hardcore atheism lacks romantic affiliations, in my opinion). In conclusion, doubt and the absence of conviction is a clear sign of crisis.
I haven't read or hear about that yet. Sarry. Hehehehe.
I appreciate your comnent sir. Made me think really hard for the first time in a long time. Hahahaha.
Unta daghan patag discussions nga ingon-ani sa umaabot. Btw, if you don't mind me asking, unsay orientation sa imong pagtuo sa Divine?
Hahahaha. Kaau sir.
Generaly I'm a believer but my idea of the divine is subjective. I'm convinced byvthe concept of intelligent design but to me, the the creator is the great unknown. Kind of agnostic and skeptical though. Hahahahaha. Nonetheless, I convict that everything is a creation, meaning someone or a group of entities created the universe and everything in parallel.
