Atheism died with the demise of the brutal, atheist regimes of the 20th century.
Atheism proved to be the most horrendous, barbaric, murderous and criminal ideology the world has ever experienced. Many millions suffered and died at the hands of this hideous ideology, they must not be forgotten.
Who, but a complete idiot would want to resurrect such a monstrous, no-hope philosophy?
The so-called 'new' (improved) atheists try to disassociate themselves from the disaster of the world's first, official, atheist states of the great, 20th century, atheist experiment. but there is no other example to go by.
The atheist experiment has been tried and, from beginning to end, it was a diabolical failure. The new atheists may say: it's nothing to do with us gov.
But who wants to risk such devastation again, by giving atheism another chance?
However, it was only to be expected and could easily have been predicted beforehand, that the inevitable result of atheism's lack of an absolute ethical or moral yardstick would be to wreak havoc on the world - and that is exactly what it did.
Atheism hasn't changed at all in that respect, because it can't. The ephemeral values, moral relativism and situational ethics of atheism is the ideal recipe for abuse.
We can see from the aggressive, rabble rousing rhetoric of today's militant, atheist dogmatists, that the leopard hasn't changed its spots.
Let no one doubt it - atheism has a hideous, barbaric history, ... we must never let it happen again.
There is no moral or rational defence for atheism, past or present.
..If people would only think for themselves - there would be no atheists.
Atheism is anti-logic ......
Atheism = NOTHING created Everything, for NO REASON.
Makes perfect sense .... NOT!
www.peterkreeft.com/topics-more/20_arguments-gods-existen...
Atheism is the rejection of one of the only 2 origins options.
The only two options are:
1. An uncaused, supernatural first cause.
2. An uncaused, natural first cause.
Atheists categorically reject option one, therefore they believe in option two - by default.
Option two (an uncaused, natural first cause) is impossible according to logic, natural laws and the scientific method.
Every natural event/effect/entity has to have an adequate cause.
All material/natural entities/events are contingent, they rely on preceding causes.
A natural first cause, cannot be a very FIRST cause because something (which didn't need a cause) must have caused it.
A natural first cause also cannot be the very first cause of the universe because it is woefully inadequate for the effect. An effect cannot be greater than its cause.
So atheism is a set of beliefs which violate the scientific method, ignores logic and defies natural laws.
Atheism is a religion because it credits matter/energy with similar creative powers and attributes as those applied to a creator God, which is really just a more sophisticated version of pagan naturalism, which imbued natural entities such as Mother Nature, The Sun or Moon god etc. with creative and magical powers.

To clarify further:
If there are only 2 options and one is ruled out as 'impossible' by logic, natural law and the scientific method, then it is safe, indeed sensible, to deduce that the other option is the only possible, and likely one.
Anyone who believes in science should know - that the basis of the scientific method is looking for adequate causes for every natural event/effect.
An 'uncaused' natural event is an anathema to science, it cannot even contemplate such a prospect.
If someone was to propose a natural first cause of everything, science would have to ask - what caused it? You cannot claim it was uncaused - that defies the scientific method.
However, if it was caused - if it had a preceding cause, ... then it cannot be the FIRST cause. Because FIRST means FIRST, not second or third.
So the very first cause of everything must be UNCAUSED ... which means, according to science, it CANNOT be a NATURAL cause.
In other words ... it cannot be a contingent entity, it can only be an eternally self-existent, self-reliant, autonomous, infinite, omnipotent entity which is entirely independent of causes, and the limitations that causes impose.
Furthermore, the first cause also has to be completely adequate for the effect, the effect cannot be greater than the cause ... so the first cause has to have adequate powers, properties and potentiality to create the entirety of the universe, i.e. nothing in the universe can be superior in any respect to the first cause.
That means the first cause must embody, or be able to create, every property and quality that exists, which includes: natural laws, information, life, intelligence, consciousness, self-awareness, design, skill, moral values, sense of beauty, justice etc.
All proposed, natural first causes - Big Bang's, Singularities, quantum mechanics etc. are not only ruled out because, as contingent events, they cannot be uncaused, they are also grossly inferior to the effect, which definitively rules them all out as credible first causes.
To put it more simply ... all effects/events/entities are the result of a combination of numerous, preceding causes, but the very first cause is unique, inasmuch as it is a lone cause of everything.
Everything can be traced back to that single cause, it is responsible for every other cause, entity and effect that follows it. Unlike other lesser or subsequent causes it has to account for the totality of everything that exists. So it cannot be inferior in any respect to any particular property, entity, event, effect, or to the totality of them all.
If we have intelligence then, that which ultimately caused us cannot be non-intelligent.
Atheists assume that we are greater in that respect than that which caused us .... that is ridiculous and it defies logic and natural law.
What about infinite time?
Time is simply a chronology of natural events. Time began with the origin of the material realm. No natural events ...means - no time. All natural entities, events/effects are contingent, they cannot be self-existent, they rely on causes and the limitations that causes impose. they are not autonomous entities, to propose that is anti-science.
Atheists often say: you can’t fill gaps in knowledge with a supernatural first cause.
But we are not talking about filling gaps, we are talking about a fundamental issue ... the origin of everything in the material realm.
The first cause is not a gap, it is the beginning - and many of the greatest scientists in the history of science had no problem whatsoever with the logic that - a natural, first cause was impossible, and the only possible option was a supernatural creator.
Why do atheists have such a problem with it?
Atheists seem to think that to explain the origin of the universe without a God, simply involves explaining what triggered it, as though its formation from that point on, just happens automatically.
This has been compared by some as similar to lighting the blue touch paper of a firework. They think that if they can propose such a naturalistic trigger, then God is made redundant.
That may sound plausible to some members of the public, who take such pronouncements at face value, and are somewhat in awe of anything that is claimed to be 'scientific'.
But it is obvious to anyone who thinks seriously about it, that a mere trigger is not necessarily an adequate cause.
A trigger presupposes that there is some sort of a mechanism/blueprint/plan already existing which is ready to spring into action if it is provided with an appropriate trigger. There has to be an existing, inherent potential for future development and everything that follows the trigger. So a trigger is not a sole cause, or a first cause, it is merely one contributing cause.
Natural things do only what they are programmed to do, i.e. they obey natural laws and behave only within the limits dictated by the potential of their pre-ordained properties, composition or structure.
Lighting blue touch paper achieves absolutely nothing, unless there is a carefully designed and manufactured firework already attached to it.
Atheists invent all sorts of bizarre myths to explain the origin of the universe and matter/energy.
Such as it arising from nothing of its own volition, for no reason.
Or even the utterly, ludicrous notion - of the universe creating itself from nothing. Obviously for something to create itself, it would need to pre-exist its own creation, in order to do the creating.
Incredible!

Evolution has not accounted for other complex differences involved. Embryos in fish and amphibian eggs release their wastes in the surrounding water as soluble urea. But urea within the shelled eggs of reptiles would kill the embryos. So, in the shelled egg a major chemical change is made: The wastes, insoluble uric acid, are stored within the allantois membrane. Consider this also: The egg yolk is food for the growing reptile embryo, enabling it to develop fully before emerging from the shell—unlike amphibians, which do not hatch in the adult form. And to get out of the shell, the embryo is distinctive in having an egg tooth, to help it break out of its prison.
The Master Hosier's house, which is now the home of the Wigston Framework Knitters Museum. THis wall shows clearly how the house evolved over the centuries. The museum seems to have at least two websites. To quote from one of them:
"The Master Framework Knitters House & Workshop at 42-44 Bushloe End, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18 2BA is of the late 17th century, thought to have been built in 1695, probably as a farmhouse. It came into framework knitting in 1764 and continued as such until it closed finally in 1948/9.
It is the only working frameshop left with, its frames in situ, in the County and that has National recognition. 42-44 Bushloe End is a Grade II* listed building, originally purchased by the Borough of Oadby & Wigston in 1986 to ensure its preservation. In 2006, The Borough Council agreed to 'Gift' the premises to the Oadby & Wigston Buildings Preservation Trust, who have had responsibility for the up-keep of the museum and buildings since 1986. The gifting was a part of an agreement with The Heritage Lottery Fund to enable grant aid to be provided both for repairs and the building of an interpretation centre. (The Yarn Room).
An external inspection of the buildings show quite clearly the stages of development. The random stone plinth, visible to the front and east side of the house, may indicate that an earlier building stood upon the site. Interestingly to be noted is the brick decoration to the house front, both in flashed headers and diaper work. This is consistent with the period and other examples can be seen in villages around. The 1695 structure was of two floors, the second floor being of later date, probably around 1780 and prior to 1784 when the 'Brick Tax' was introduced and the narrow 'Tudor' brick gave way to bricks of 3 inch thickness. The East and West side elevations of the house show quite clearly the building up for the second floor.
The house interior is left in its late 19th century mode except in the kitchen where some acknowledgement to the early 20th century has been made.
Not only is this site important in terms of industrial archaeology, it also brings to life a part of the sociological scene throughout the 19th century and following the hardships created by the 'Enclosures Act' of 1766. Hand-Frame knitting dates from 1589, the date of invention by William Lee of the stocking frame. However, the frame was first introduced to Leicesteshire c1640.
The two storey frame-shop, across the yard from the house, contains eight knitting-frames and a demonstration frame. Built in 1890, this brick building with its typical long windows affording natural light to both sides of the workshop at ground and first floor level is the real gem of the museum."
