Xcircle Atheist Social Network and Networking site in a broad sense is the platform for people who have a rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, as in atheism we specifically position ourselves to the fact that there are no deities. Most inclusively, we reject the belief that any deities exist. As atheists we contrast with theism, which in its most general form has the misguided notion of the belief that at least one deity exists.
We reject the gods worshiped by the larger society and embrace atheism as free thinkers and as people with free thought, skeptical by inquiry of deities, and with real logical criticism of religion and the myth, superstition and application it has on humanity. As atheists we tend to lean toward skepticism regarding supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence.
We offer many rationales for not believing in any gods. These include the problem of evil, the argument from inconsistent revelations, and the argument from non belief. Other arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to the social to the historical. There is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which we as atheists adhere to but with one thing in common we do not worship the unseen.
