This paper discusses the eternal religious debate of whether or not there is a God. The paper presents the basic tenets of atheism, the main one being the total lack of belief in any form of theism or deity. The paper contends that atheism is more of a perspective than a philosophy of non-religion. The paper examines the opinion that all organized religions were created by man, thereby confirming the belief that God does not exist.
From the Paper:
"The suggestion that atheism is a credible non-belief system points to the idea that it has some basis in fact; to say that the atheist is right is to suggest that Christians may be wrong which further leads to the suggestion that faith is an unreliable guide to knowing that God does exist. Therefore, if faith is unreliable then every single aspect of Christianity or some other major religion must be examined through the use of logic and reason which no doubt terrifies the believer by totally upsetting his/her belief systems. Thus, as Vincent P. Miceli relates, "when reason is liberated from the shackles of faith, it will claim sovereignty over every sphere of knowledge. . . and thus force believers to question the existence of God by subjecting His alleged divine revelations to critical analysis" (18)."
