Argument from beauty (view source)
Revision as of 04:06, November 28, 2015
, 04:06, November 28, 2015→Atheism has a poor track record in terms of creating art/music
Ritualistic atheists find beauty in certain religious traditions, symbols or rituals.<ref>[http://www.christianpost.com/news/researchers-ritual-atheists-and-agnostics-could-be-sitting-next-to-you-in-church-99373/ Researchers: 'Ritual' Atheists and Agnostics Could Be Sitting Next to You in Church]</ref> See also: [[American atheists and church attendance]]]]

Despite [[atheism]] being around since at least [[ancient Greece]], there has not been a strong tradition of creating musical and artistic works related to atheism. Musical/artistic talent can be enhanced through practice and the atheist creed of "there is no God" is not an inspiring creed that produces a significant amount of music/art. For example, despite [[Wikipedia]] being founded by an atheist and an agnostic, there are no articles specifically devoted to the topics of atheist music or atheist art at Wikipedia, but Wikipedia does have articles devoted specifically to [[Christian art]] and [[Christian music]].

Atheism is an unnecessarily limiting view and intellectually ungratifying/uninteresting (see: [[Uninterestingness of atheism]]). Such a worldview is not a worldview which inspires great art/music.
