atheist beliefs
Inb4 definition circlefap
A multitude of overly specific definitions can seem like egotism (or "special snowflake"), but maybe it's actually a natural consequence of abandoning an entrenched idea...
More and more people are saying "Hey, maybe *all* organized religions are a farce instead of all-1". But in response they're challenged (by others, but also themselves) to clarify what they *do* believe in. So they're encouraged to reach for new ideas, like transhumanism or extropianism, and clarify whether they actively disbelieve or simply lack belief, and what exactly they lack belief in...
The two most important definitions are, if I recall correctly from back when I cared a lot:
Agnostic: One who lacks belief in any god
Atheist: One who is currently convinced there are no gods
We could go on and on about what constitutes a "god", but it's mostly self evident. For most nonbelievers, a God is an all-powerful being who actively governs the world. Many people believe in a guiding force who (in the present day) takes no quantifiable action but provides comfort and conscience. Most "Easter Christians", for example. Such people are basically agnostic already.
But they still call themselves Christians or whichever, because society requires us to label ourselves. Even, or especially, nonbelievers. But nonbelievers aren't a unified group, which is why there are so many specific and overlapping subgroups.
Fakedit: Yeah, Dawkins is kinda a jerk. I used to watch videos of him just to feel better about my nonbelief. He makes good arguments, but he's also very sensationalist and probably not good to recommend for a believer.
Actual Edit: I do agree with Dawkins that religion is fundamentally bad for humanity, even though obsolete social instincts compel us to seek it out.
