Not all of these people were necessarily atheist, but I think it is safe to say they were non-believers. (Some are deists or pantheists, or had ideas too complex to hang a dingle word on, but most didn't believe in a personal God at all, much less the Abrahamic God.)
@starscreamdakmo wtf fuck you dude.. i'm not stupid and i'm catholic you fucking bigoted little prick.. you think i'm stupid? explain how im in University.. explain how i have designed an alternate power source which will never stop and never run out of energy, and once i have gotten enough copper wire i am going to build to prove atheists wrong about religious people being stupid.. then i'll make their brains implode and they'll just sit there looking at a wall for the rest of their lives
oi man fuck you i youve obvs seen nothing at all in life to do with spirits and so you dont beleive in it farenof i used to be like you but fuck you dont try to stick your beleifs in other peoples faces your not rational your a fucking dickhead who doesnt know shit and haznt seen shit there is another fukn world out there
You suck to the fullest. 1. Disrespect of Jesus. 2. Disrespect other's people's faith & mocking God. 3.Taking a good movie as well as Ray Parker Jr song and turning it in to crap. I will be the one to say this, I don't hate Athest, I fill sorry for them. Being a Atheist means the dis belive of God & the unseen,I disagree, Atheist do belive in God and Jesus, why. Cuse if you don't belive in God then why do you try so hard to get rid of Him & his word? God bless you all. Amen
@JDMURDERERS what would i come under? coz i believe in religion but also believe in science and apparently i'm the only one who does and can.. also i have multiple drawn up designs of alternate energy sources which should be easy to build and a new kind of rocket engine.. also got a bible but meh its a small one.. also i kinda like science and no matter what won't give up my faith.. as i like being the only one like me
Agnostic is a word atheist sometimes use to prevent an argument with theists. See If I say religion is mythology a theist in all there childish zeal and altruism will have a knee jerk reaction and accuse a rational person like my self of being close minded for not believing in mythology but If I say "I don't know I'm agnostic" .
Carl Sagan believes in the possibility of a deity, he just chose not to actually believe in one until evidence was presented. He wrote an entire book about this.
In The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God, he writes "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
Youtube wont let me put the link for the origonal quote, but its in a story called Worlds Away by Joel Achenbach on The Washington Post's website.
ok fine maybe you are right but it's probably more of a dispute of what terminology we use.
The word atheist generally means "The doctrine that no gods exist" But until Carl Sagan starts praying and proclaims beliefs in the supernatural he is an atheist since he doesn't believe in the existence of gods.
You obviously don't know what agnositc means. Being a ration thinking atheist IS being agnostic, because you are never saying "god does not exist" you are saying "the evidence points to this, but i cannot be 100% sure because i do not know everything". This is the same way your medicine works, your mechanical engineering, nuclear power, and basically everything else know as fact. These men no more believed in God than any other free thinking rational being.
Um, believing in the possiblity of a deity, means you don't believe in a deity. Which makes him an atheist. Disregard if you're agreeing with me and i misunderstood your post.
@roaminGMADNESS What sort of logic is that? "believing in the possiblity of a deity = you don't believe in a deity", that's clearly wrong, sagan was agnostic, he would never out right claim that any sort of god does not exist.

Agnostic - not sure so must hedge bets. Afterall no one knows everything. There could be a god or gods. Who knows how many universes there are?
This is where it gets interesting. To be correct we must write agnostic. But Realistically NO ONE lives by this rule. There could be a monster in the cupboard when I open it.

I like the word Atheist. It says a lot in 7 letters.
Maher is an agnostic yes, but he's definatly an atheist in regards to the judeo-christian God. His agnosticism seems to come from some kind of vague belief in a divine force in the universe or whatever it is (the typical "my-own-defenition-of-God" thing).
no he only says he's an agnostic because he has to be because believers will always claim that strong atheism is bias but an agnostic is seen as somewhat neutral .
He is a hardcore atheist I use to call myself an agnostic to avoid attention but now I don't care . i started an atheist club in high school and ever since then I don't care I tell priest I'm an atheist and my mind is made
I wont even try to look for evidence of god because i know there is none.

Atheist is most commonly referred to someone who doesn't believe in a god that partakes in everyday affairs.
einstein openly admitted he didn't believe in a personal god that cared about human affairs and he used "god" in a metaphorical form in that he referred to material nature as being "god" and empirical science as being a tool to understand nature/ god .einstein didn't bow down to idols and prayLikeChristianityDo. MeBeingAnAtheist ICouldPoeticallyStateTo christiansScience ismy"God"
I dunno...I object to Maher being in there. I mean, he's technically an atheist, but he calls himself an agnostic and he's anti-science when it comes to medicine.
Like I said...he's an atheist who calls himself agnostic. I'm not arguing that. I said he's anti-science when it comes to medicine, and when it comes to medicine, he's outright moronic. To include him in the ranks of Darwin, Sagan, Dawkins, Tyson, hell, even Hugh Laurie...it just seems to diminish the rest of them.
people call themselves agnostic because believers won't allow people to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence that all religion is no different than mythology.
Honestly there is no God any more than there are invisible unicorns and leprechauns but us thinkers have to acknowledge that we can't prove that unicorn and leprechauns are fake so we call our selfs agnostics.
i wasn't saying anything about that you said hes (technically) an atheist and i was simply setting it straight either you believe in a magical space daddy (theist) or you don't (atheist)
anti science medicine? lol the only anti science medicine is faith healing . lol thats why when you go to the hospital you see a doctor to save your life and when people are about to die they see a priest . When people are told it's all in gods hands that usually means you going to die lol
he says he doesn't believe in god and pokes fun at every aspect of religion. Maher is a hardcore atheist .He only says he's an agnostic because believers always expect the atheist to prove there is no god which is impossible as proving there is no zeus or apollo. so he say "i dunno" can you prove god does exist?
I'm an atheist and I tell people I'm an "agnostic" so I don't have to put up with the forced conversion and have people tell me I have to believe or I'll be consider a fool..
Who is the elder African American gentleman? This interest me b/c there are just so few of us with our cultural background and ethnic identity that are atheist.
Epicurus' claim was not that there were no gods. He merely asserted that if they were real, they were disinterested in human affairs and took no interest in punishing or rewarding human behavior. He rejected fear of death not because of a percieved punishment or cessation of all existence, but because death was an entirely alien and inscrutable condtion which the living cannot fruitfully place in their terms.
It's pretty funny that you've got Albert Einstein in a montage of prominent atheists.
"You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth."
Altho Carl Sagan was an Agnostic, he did try to prove science and influenced many people to think rational about science and the meaning of it's purpose.
when i die i am going to beat the crap out of god for bad spelling/writing.... then i am having a TE party with the devil while we listen to AC/DC "Highway to hell".... yay me

Atheism is a unique religion because it can be described as parastic. It only gets its purpose in life by chiding other religious beliefs. This blank belief, or belief in a disbelief is perpetuated only by chiding other beliefs and putting itself on a false pedestal that is unwittingly an inverted pedestal.
Haekel, you are wrong on so many levels. Atheism is a LACK of belief in a god or gods. Your atheistic about zeus, thor, amon ra, and a thousand others im guessing. We just take it one step further. Atheism is as much a religion is as collecting garbage is practicing theoretical physics. You have been misled, and are only seeing the shadows on the cave wall, my deluded friend.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You've been conditioned to believe such. An atheist is confined to BELIEVE God doesn't exist. Saying someone has a "lack of belief" is like saying someone has zero brainwave activity. Additionally, atheists can arguably be the most religious people there are. It's always emotionally charged arguments, rather than logic, and it is observed that atheism can't stand on its own without criticism of other religious beliefs.
Ok Haekel, you are just wrong. Sure, there are atheists who will say "god doesnt exist", emphatically. I am not one. Your attempting to use a wide brush on atheists. I may as well say "all christians are catholic". I'd be wrong, like you are. We state, for the most part, "I see no evidence, therefore I do not know, nor do i believe", not "I know god exists" like a theist. And your statement about us being the most religious: you need a dictionary.
That's why I'm Agnostic, the best of both worlds. I'm not religious but not atheist either. :) I believe God may or may not exist, but even if he/she or it does exist, we don't have the language or knowledge to describe it.
Atheism is not a religion. It is an unbelief. Please don't classify a non beleif in this way. I respect my fellow man in his belief system. However as an atheist it is a proclamation of a non beleif in a deity. That's all.
The only time we ever hear about something having a "non belief" is concerning atheism. Atheism is a religion primarily because an atheist is constrained by only BELIEVING that God doesn't exist. This isn't disrespect.
Still don't agree with. I am an atheist in my proclamation of not beleiving in fairies, trolls, father christmas etc. How can that be defined as a religion. I don't follow any doctrine, book or deity so it is not religion. Thanks for your interesting points. Have a great day!
Religion - a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
I'm putting that down as one of my favorite quotes. Folks, you can believe in not believing.
I mean forget NOT collecting stamps. This is basically like saying collecting stamps is not NOT collecting stamps which doesn't collect stamps like stamp collectors, so its a hobby.
Exactly how much crack to you sniff before coming to youtube?
So the bald as a hair color has been replaced by a non stamp collector analogy? Well, at least you guys are trying to find an analogy that works. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
So exactly how much sarcasm does it take to formulate an actual response?
You could've added the names of each person as so many of the faces are unfamiliar. That way we could research on our own to verify each person's beliefs.
How fucking dare someone use this theme and the Ghostbusters to portray a view on religion! The Ghostbusters is a comedy move, not a fucking religious tool. I don't care what ANYONE believes.. I don't force my views down their throat. Ya know the phrase bustin' makes me feel good? Well this video makes me feel like a piece of shit.
of course i understood your post. i know it was incredibly deep, but i think most people figured it out. i think its kind of stupid for you to get your panties in a knot over what song he used to accompany his video. if you dont like it, close the page.
Jamie: "I actually before this didn't know that much about the skeptics society and I guess Adam and our producer were a lot more up on it and were more enthusiastic about it, but once I got into it, I became aware that unknowingly, I mean, I'm actually pretty adamant about the whole God thing. And it seems that skeptics are by and large atheists or something approaching that, which I strongly identify with, and so it turned out to be a good thing and I've become enthusiastically a part of it."
As an objectivist I'm pleased to see rand mentioned however I feel she would be gravely disappointed with the state of atheism as most atheists seem to be sacrificing one form of control God for another form of control the state
Einstein was pantheist. Very similar

einstein openly admitted he didn't believe in a personal god that cared about human affairs and he used "god" in a metaphorical form in that he referred to material nature as being "god" and empirical science as being a tool to understand nature/ god .einstein didn't bow down to idols and prayLikeChristianityDo.

I dunno...I object to Maher being in there. I mean, he's technically an atheist, but he calls himself an agnostic and he's anti-science when it comes to medicine.
MrMythnam 2 years ago
what gives you the idea that Maher is anti science when it comes to religion? That is incorrect.
He also states that he doesnt know about there being a god and is open to the notion...he is anti RELIGION.

Like I said...he's an atheist who calls himself agnostic. I'm not arguing that. I said he's anti-science when it comes to medicine, and when it comes to medicine, he's outright moronic. To include him in the ranks of Darwin, Sagan, Dawkins, Tyson, hell, even Hugh Laurie...it just seems to diminish the rest of them.
MrMythnam 2 years ago
people call themselves agnostic because believers won't allow people to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence that all religion is no different than mythology.
Honestly there is no God any more than there are invisible unicorns and leprechauns but us thinkers have to acknowledge that we can't prove that unicorn and leprechauns are fake so we call our selfs agnostics.
Science= religion becoming mythology

anti science medicine? lol the only anti science medicine is faith healing . lol thats why when you go to the hospital you see a doctor to save your life and when people are about to die they see a priest . When people are told it's all in gods hands that usually means you going to die lol
religion= fantasy
I don't need fantasy to deal with reality.
jjason55740 2 years ago
Faith healing is not the only anti-science medicine. Complementary and alternative medicine are also almost entirely anti-science.
BoredInfidel 2 years ago
he says he doesn't believe in god and pokes fun at every aspect of religion. Maher is a hardcore atheist .He only says he's an agnostic because believers always expect the atheist to prove there is no god which is impossible as proving there is no zeus or apollo. so he say "i dunno" can you prove god does exist?
I'm an atheist and I tell people I'm an "agnostic" so I don't have to put up with the forced conversion and have people tell me I have to believe or I'll be consider a fool..

Many inaccurate or debateable examples.
Epicurus' claim was not that there were no gods. He merely asserted that if they were real, they were disinterested in human affairs and took no interest in punishing or rewarding human behavior. He rejected fear of death not because of a percieved punishment or cessation of all existence, but because death was an entirely alien and inscrutable condtion which the living cannot fruitfully place in their terms.

It's pretty funny that you've got Albert Einstein in a montage of prominent atheists.

Atheism is a unique religion because it can be described as parastic. It only gets its purpose in life by chiding other religious beliefs. This blank belief, or belief in a disbelief is perpetuated only by chiding other beliefs and putting itself on a false pedestal that is unwittingly an inverted pedestal.
Haekel68 2 years ago
Haekel, you are wrong on so many levels. Atheism is a LACK of belief in a god or gods. Your atheistic about zeus, thor, amon ra, and a thousand others im guessing. We just take it one step further. Atheism is as much a religion is as collecting garbage is practicing theoretical physics. You have been misled, and are only seeing the shadows on the cave wall, my deluded friend.

You've been conditioned to believe such. An atheist is confined to BELIEVE God doesn't exist. Saying someone has a "lack of belief" is like saying someone has zero brainwave activity. Additionally, atheists can arguably be the most religious people there are. It's always emotionally charged arguments, rather than logic, and it is observed that atheism can't stand on its own without criticism of other religious beliefs.
Haekel68 2 years ago
Ok Haekel, you are just wrong. Sure, there are atheists who will say "god doesnt exist", emphatically. I am not one. Your attempting to use a wide brush on atheists. I may as well say "all christians are catholic". I'd be wrong, like you are. We state, for the most part, "I see no evidence, therefore I do not know, nor do i believe", not "I know god exists" like a theist. And your statement about us being the most religious: you need a dictionary.
sakar181 2 years ago
That's why I'm Agnostic, the best of both worlds. I'm not religious but not atheist either. :) I believe God may or may not exist, but even if he/she or it does exist, we don't have the language or knowledge to describe it.
Alimistar 2 years ago
Atheism is not a religion. It is an unbelief. Please don't classify a non beleif in this way. I respect my fellow man in his belief system. However as an atheist it is a proclamation of a non beleif in a deity. That's all.
flyingfisbeefilms 2 years ago 2
The only time we ever hear about something having a "non belief" is concerning atheism. Atheism is a religion primarily because an atheist is constrained by only BELIEVING that God doesn't exist. This isn't disrespect.
Haekel68 2 years ago
Still don't agree with. I am an atheist in my proclamation of not beleiving in fairies, trolls, father christmas etc. How can that be defined as a religion. I don't follow any doctrine, book or deity so it is not religion. Thanks for your interesting points. Have a great day!

Religion - a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
No, Atheism is not a religion.

"This belief in disbelief".
I'm putting that down as one of my favorite quotes. Folks, you can believe in not believing.

Jamie: "I actually before this didn't know that much about the skeptics society and I guess Adam and our producer were a lot more up on it and were more enthusiastic about it, but once I got into it, I became aware that unknowingly, I mean, I'm actually pretty adamant about the whole God thing. And it seems that skeptics are by and large atheists or something approaching that, which I strongly identify with, and so it turned out to be a good thing and I've become enthusiastically a part of it."
