Like you, I too was born as an Atheist

Every one of us, when we are born, fresh out of the uterus, is an atheist. All babies are born atheist: free from religion. No baby is born as a Catholic, or a Muslim, or a Jew, or a Baptist, or a Hindu. We are all born free and then indoctrinated. When we attain the age of intellectual discretion - we repudiate that indoctrination. That is how we become in the truest sense of the term- BORN-AGAINST ATHEIST. We are back to the purity of our beginning before any of this dreadful theistic philosophy was put into our receptive, but undiscriminating, little minds. Conscience is no inner voice from God. Conscience is merely the combined product of evolution and education. If one were to follow one’s conscience rather than reason, what follows is not only confusion, but also delusion. Atheism Atheism is the world of reason, reality, and freedom. Atheism is human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind cannot begin to understand. And yet it is much more. Atheism is not an old religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and never has been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in its simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world gone mad. Atheism rises above divinity and puts humanity upon every one else. There are no 'chosen people' in the Atheist philosophy. There are no bended knees in Atheism; No supplications, no prayers; no doctrines; No sacrificial redemptions, no eternal promises; No 'divine' revelations, no sacred writings; No washing in the blood of the lamb; No crusades, no massacres, no holy wars; No inquisition; no dogma, hogma, or pigma. No heaven, no hell, no purgatory, no limbo; No silly rewards, no vindictive punishments; No Christ, and no saviors; no I am who am; No burning bush, no talking donkey; No devils, no ghosts and no gods; No fear of silly divinity, only the courage to work for the good of humanity and to struggle only for the spread of human decency. Globally. YES, I AM AN ATHEIST AND PROUD TO BE ONE. I WAS BORN AN ATHEIST AND I SHALL DIE AN ATHEIST. There are no other options. No other choices. It is impossible to believe in God while coming out of mother’s womb. It is equally impossible to believe in God when one is already dead, buried, and gone out of this world. Poch Suzara
