Wikijunior talk:World Religions/Atheism

What are the main beliefs of atheism?
Although I took a stab at that section, I'm very dissatisfied with the result. On one hand, although some of it ought to be covered, it goes into a lot of dry detail (not well-suited to the Wikijunior target audience). On the other hand, there are positive beliefs that atheists commonly hold, such as (just for example) the value of skepticism and science; I'm thinking about contacting someone with the Skeptical Student Alliance for suggestions about possible material for inclusion, and possible sources for it.

There is material I don't even know what section to put under, but that should go somewhere, about stuff like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 12:43, 20 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I've tried to improve that section some. Still needs significant improvement.  It's still heavy on the technical classifications of disbelief, which should be more streamlined, and at the same time the important issue of what one means by "god(s)" isn't even mentioned.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:34, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, further improved. I added secular humanism &mdash;with a nice picture, yay!&mdash; and spoof religion, and isolated the discussion of different kinds of atheism in a subsection and somewhat compressed it.  At this moment, I'm reasonably pleased with how the section is looking.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 02:34, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

What texts does atheism hold sacred?
I've tried to fill this out some, but I've a feeling we can do much better by the subject than my rambling paragraph about books by Dawkins. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 04:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Agnostic perhaps?
Do not forget the Agnostic counter-argument to many Atheistic arguments. I consider Agnostics also reasonable skeptics about Atheist, and their "inherited" bias...? Skeptics are expected, yet how are Atheist certain beyond reasonable doubts?

I do not know more than some Philosophic debates between Atheist and skeptic, people doubtful of the certainty of "Atheist." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peyton09 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)


 * There's some mention of the term agnostic on the page, and discussion of weak atheism versus strong atheism. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:42, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
