Line 27: − + − They brainwash their children, so as to not have to deal with the fact of life, death is inherent and unavoidable, get over it. − you dont need a god to live you're life, or be a good person, i see more atrocities performed in the name of this "God" than i do any other cause. − relax, you are not a special or unique snowflake, you are the same decaying organic material as everything else. now was that really so hard?+ − from tailbone to appendix, evolution is right in front of you, they are called evolutionary markers, did you, for instance, know that at one point in the womb you have gills? yes, gills, like fish, because thats where we originated, and the tailbone, a throwback to out primate ancestors, we were all once single celled organisms, so dont tell me we came through thousands of years of evolution to reach this, religion. − − but i suppose that wont matter to you, this will be deleted, most likely without being read, because the truth is just too dangerous. i hope, somehow, someone reads this and thinks, perhaps not agrees, but thinks beyond what they have bee force-fed their entire lives, − The writer of the Book of Psalms knew of atheists and atheism and registered disapproval in Psalm 14: "The Fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." I, The Militant Atheist, Say it loud and clear because, knowing the truth in evolution, i can feel safe in the knowledge that religious idiots wont be around too long. − − (respect to my man Charles Darwin) − − Cypher

the route of religion lies in the pathetic need to feel special, that, unlike all other organic creatures, we do not die and rot, we are taken to a special place, by a non-existant father figure, because relious followers are weak and fear death, fear abandonment, fear the truth.
It is difficult to trace the origins of atheism as a result of the incomplete historic record. It is known that ancient Greece produced a theory of materialism as early as the 5th century BC. Materialism is a philosophical position that the material is all that exists. Therefore, it automatically excludes immaterial beings. In addition to materialism the Greeks also considered Spiritualism, in which the material world is an illusion and only spirit exists, as well as dualism, in which both the material and the spiritual exist (e.g. Christianity). It is important to note that while many atheists are strict materialists, some are not. As an example, some philosophical systems generally regarded as religions (i.e. Buddhism) lack deities and thus could be regarded as "atheistic faiths," or forms of non-materialistic atheism. In any case, it is likely impossible to determine the true origins of atheism as it was presumably the default belief of most humans prior to the development of religion.
The writer of the Book of Psalms knew of atheists and atheism and registered disapproval in Psalm 14: "The Fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." The book of Psalms precedes the 5th century BC by hundreds of years {{fact}}.
