Line 1:
Line 1: − − Atheism is popularly divided into Strong and Weak Atheism: Strong Atheism can be defined as a dogma in itself: The assertion that there absolutely is no God, despite the fact that the existence of the supernatural cannot be disproven. Some people calling themselves Atheists acknowledge that God can not be disproven, and while this does not suggest that there *is* a god (no more than the fact that we cannot disprove leprechauns suggests that they exist) it would nonetheless be unscientific to declare a God or godlike being impossible. These people are actually Agnostics.
Removed erroneous classification of atheism
Atheism, in common usage, means "lack of belief in [[God]] or any [[gods]]". In practice, Atheists discounts supernatural phenomena such as the afterlife, divine revelation, ghosts as well as God.
