Misconceptions about atheist are common everywhere. Trust me, you don't have to dig too much to find one. So without further of do, let's analyze the misconceptions of atheism

The Misconceptions About Atheism

1. "Atheism is a belief system that the universe was caused by the an explosion in space, we all evolved from an bacteria, there is no afterlife,and that there is no god."

The first thing we need to do to ensure that we're on the same page is to define what exactly an atheist is: "disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods."

That's it. It's a lack of belief in a God. There isn't anything else we really share. So technically any religious person that doesn't believe in a god, well they're an atheist.

2. "Atheist are all left wingers and pro choice."

This is actually something I got once. What? I don't get people. Referring to point one, atheist are simply people that lack a belief in a god. That's it. We don't share much of anything at all.

3. "Atheist are atheist because they hate god and want to sin."

Look, atheist just don't believe in the existence of a god. We don't hate god because we don't think he exist. We might criticize the morality of the bible, but we don't hate him simply because we don't think he exist.

As for sinning, is the only reason of being moral just to avoid eternal punishment? Well let me put it this way. If you woke up one morning and learned that there isn't a god or an afterlife, would you go kill and rob everyone you meet? Of course not. It feels wrong, which is exactly why we don't murder and rob everyone we see.

Closing Statement:

Look, atheist aren't some sort of aberration. They're people, like everyone else. They're not constantly trying to rob or kill all people . So the sooner people can understand that, the better place the world would be.
