For the most part Atheist and Religious people fundamentally think differently
[u][b]Atheist thought process vs Faithful thought process[/b][/u]
I was just curious if everyone understands that whichever side your on both sides fundamentally think differently. [i][u]Keep in mind this is a generalization it is not absolute.[/u][/i]
The traits below are not qualities you acquire by having the belief rather people that believe these things tend to have these qualities.
[b]Atheist[/b] - Logical, needs proof to accept something, thinks scientifically, questions everything to every detail.
[b]Faith[/b] - doesn't need anything but faith, scripture and God/Gods (depending on your faith). Anything outside an individuals faith is essentially false information. (So technically you aren't supposed to question your faith or look outward)
They way both sides think contradict each other therefor the other sides point will always be invalid. Thus, leading to the endless debates that go in circles.
[b]Would you guys say you agree? [/b]
[b]Side Note: This thread isn't here to debate beliefs[/b]

2 RepliesI disagree completely. They have much more in common than they realize. It's like when Catholics and Protestants argue over faith or works even though as the Orthodox Christian looking in, I can recognize that both of them are more similar than they think in that they share the same presuppositional Anselmian view of Salvation as a mere acquittal verdict and Penal Substitutionary Atonement. They are two sides to the same shared coin. That said, Atheism is an outgrowth of Western Christianity. It cannot exist except in a society shaped by Western Christianity and its ideals of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. The entire notion itself of religion as an affirmation of belief is the product of Calvinism. Again, the same coin. To a Hindu or even an Orthodox Christian looking in, the differences between atheists and the religious--Western Christians--aren't so evident, and you actually identify more similarities between them than anything else. It's about presuppositions and preliminary worldviews that people of the same region often share without realizing it.
