Atheism: Confidence Is Not Arrogance

Atheism is a Belief (Lies Christians Tell # 2)

The lie is that atheism is a belief.

The truth is that atheism is an absence of belief in any gods.

Christians tell this lie to try to shift the burden of proof from theism to atheism.

Misrepresenting Atheism

A look at how atheists and atheism are being misrepresented through intellectually dishonest and bias definitions of "atheist" and "atheism" courtesy of well-known and supposedly reputable dictionaries, i.e. Merriam-Webster, and educational websites, as well as religious groups and others.

Correct definition:
• Atheist (n.): one without a belief in, or one who lacks belief in, the existence of god or gods.
