It is crucial that i write this article, because it is essential that we help one another develop. If there is one thing i have noticed, humans are victims of language. Most individuals use words but have absolutely no idea what it means. They simply follow a pattern of indoctrinated behavior, influenced by misinformation and disinformation. They are educated illiterate.
WHAT IS ATHEISM?
Atheism is the absence of belief in the existence of God. Individuals who are of this view are know as atheists.
Atheists may reject the concept of God for various reasons, including a lack of evidence, logical inconsistencies in religious claims, or a reliance on natural explanations for phenomena traditionally attributed to divine beings.
Atheism differs from agnosticism, which is the view that the existence or non-existence of God is unknown or unknowable. However, some people identify as both atheists and agnostics, indicating they do not believe in God but acknowledge uncertainty about their existence.
THE REAL QUESTION IS, WHAT IS GOD?
I have written a well detailed explanation of God. Read more below; https://dcreativewriter.art.blog/2024/04/21/existential-whole-life-death/
If you’ve read from the links above, you will have come to understand the concept of God. Atheism is the byproduct of misrepresentation of religion or deities with God.
MOST ATHEISTS ARE EDUCATED ILLITERATES
According to Francis Bacon, a 16th-17th century English philosopher and statesman. In his work The Advancement of Learning (1605), Bacon states:
“A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.”
Bacon suggests that superficial understanding of philosophy may lead to skepticism or atheism, but a deeper and more comprehensive engagement with philosophy ultimately leads one to recognize the divine or spiritual truths.
I am of the view that, half knowledge of philosophy pulls one aways from God, but deep understanding of philosophy brings one closer to God. God is the source of creation, and everything is attributed to God. God is Truth. Read more below; https://dcreativewriter.art.blog/2024/06/08/building-a-life-we-do-not-need-to-escape-from/
Atheists are the most dangerous set of individuals, because they are either deliberately blind to the truth or completely ignorant. They are on peers with the religious extremists in every way.

The truth is, a lot of individuals lack understanding. They think they know, but in reality they don’t. They are simply educated illiterate, and i do not mean it as an insult.

I see it is indeed. Its frustrating to be honest. Do you use other social media as well? I am curious because I only post on wordpress and do not use social media but I was thinking about using TickTock perhaps or other platforms to promote my art and my blog. I have been staying away from all that because I felt it was just a distraction in life but maybe I was wrong? Do you recommend any sites or have recommendations in general?

Just use the social media you feel most comfortable with. One most of your friends use would be better, so it doesn’t get too boring i guess.

I respect the depth of thought in this piece, but I see it from a different angle. It feels like the critique of atheism overlooks the fact that, just like belief in God, atheism often comes from personal experiences, reflections, or even struggles. People don’t always reject or accept ideas out of ignorance—sometimes, it’s the result of deep questioning or a search for meaning that led them there. Every belief, whether in God or in the absence of one, carries a story behind it. Instead of labeling one as misguided, maybe the real conversation lies in understanding the reasons that shape each perspective.

Thank you for taking your time to comment your thoughts. However your review doesn’t debunk my post. If anything, it further affirms it. The question is what is God?
At the end of the day, either due to experience or personal reflections, atheism is still from a place of ignorance. Atheism discredits creation, which also means they discredit their own existence, does that mean they don’t exist?
The truth is God exists independent of our thoughts and perception, which means God also doesn’t need our beliefs to function. God exists outside our subjective perception, and ideas, so man’s shortsightedness or ignorance of God doesn’t erase its existence.
Atheism is the lack of belief in God. But to not belief in God is to first establish its existence, so the question is, what is that thing that atheists do not belief in the first place?

Thank you for your thoughtful response, Victor. I think there’s an interesting common ground here that often gets overlooked—both belief in God and disbelief in God require a form of belief. One believes in the existence of a higher power, while the other believes against it. In both cases, it’s a stance shaped by reflections, experiences, and sometimes even deep questioning.
The conversation isn’t always about ignorance or knowledge but about where individuals place their belief. An atheist isn’t necessarily denying existence itself but rather approaching it through a different lens—one that doesn’t attribute it to a divine source.
At the heart of it, both believers and atheists are searching for meaning. One finds it in God; the other looks for it in existence itself. Maybe the bridge between these views isn’t in proving or disproving God but in understanding why we all feel compelled to seek answers in the first place.

And that is why i said humans are victims of language. The question is what is God?
Maybe when you answer that question, you might see why i am of the view that atheism is from a place of ignorance.
You keep affirming my view. If i am not mistaken, your comment just established that atheists in their quest to disprove the existence of God, they established God.

That’s a fascinating point, Victor—language really does shape how we think and frame these questions. The very act of trying to define or disprove God pulls the concept into existence within the conversation itself. It’s like how discussing the idea of infinity doesn’t make it any more or less real, but it forces us to engage with it intellectually.
When you say atheism might stem from ignorance, I see where you’re coming from—if the question starts with “What is God?” then denying it without full understanding could seem like an incomplete stance. But I also wonder if atheism isn’t always about disproof, but rather about withholding belief until something feels convincing enough.
In a way, both believers and atheists might be caught in the same web of language—trying to define or undefine something that, if it exists beyond our perception, is probably bigger than any word or idea we can attach to it.

If so, then it is agnosticism you speak of, and not atheism.
My point still stands. In fact as they progress in their personal discoveries, almost all atheists later end up becoming agnostics, while the rest ends up a believer. At the end of the day, uncertainty means lack of knowledge, which is ignorance. The question is, what is God?
If you read my article, I started that atheism is from a place of misrepresenting religion or deities with God. God is actually not a religion, so God doesn’t need our belief to be true, or function.
