I saw this on another website and just had to reproduce it.

As I write this in the year 2089, the majority of the US population are atheists. Only around 17% claim to be non-atheistic and tend to be doubtful of the view that nature is all that exists. I am part of this minority of skeptics and clearthinkers. Thankfully a movement known as New Theism is gaining in popularity, as many new theistic books have made the best seller list recently. The fact that these books are best sellers shows that people are getting tired of naturalistic atheism, and perhaps suggests that new theists are the silent majority. It's time for us to get organized and question the respect that naturalism and atheism usually get. Why should we respect beliefs that can't be proven?

If atheists were born in India, they'd be Hindu or Muslim, and they'd reject the view that nature is all there is. It's only because they were born in a nation that is predominantly atheistic that they are the way they are. How can they claim that their view is true when it's merely the product of their upbrining and culture? That's ridiculous.

And atheists always ask us "what if you're wrong?" But we should simply ask them in return: what if you're wrong? There are many different interpretations of atheism and naturalism, and it seems rare for any two atheists or naturalists to agree on a common definition of their view or common ontological commitments. There are pagan atheists, Buddhist atheists, Secular Humanists, new age atheists, weak atheists, strong atheists, nihilists, brights, anti-theists, methodological naturalists, metaphysical naturalists, etc. Do they really think that, out of all the different forms of atheism, they just happened to pick the correct one? We clearthinkers are just one less of an atheist than they are.

There is no way to use the scientific method to prove that reality is entirely composed of natural, physical objects -- just as there is no way to use the scientific method to prove other falsehoods, such as that the moon is made entirely of cheese and santa claus visits every home during christmas. I don't believe in atheism for the same reason I don't believe in a cheese moon and santa claus.

Atheologians have throughout the last few decades offered what they think is "evidence" for their views. Probably the most common is the "argument from evil". But all of these atheologians should be dismissed, since they are just arguing semantics and using atheism-of-the-gaps reasoning. Just because non-atheists don't yet have an explanation for evil, that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. As anti-atheist Gerald Rocker says in his bestselling new book The Atheism Hoax, "we're working on it!"

In the name of logic, science, progress, and rationality, it is time for clearthinkers everywhere to speak out against those who seek to destroy our civilization with their superstious explanations and unscientific posturing.
