Improving introduction

I have two suggestions for the introduction: 1) explain the difference between Atheism and Agnosticism; 2) add summaries about causal factors, historical events, and effects, instead of "will be addressed" and "will also be covered". Missionary 12:14, 22 February 2015 (EST)

There are many causal factors to atheism so I linked to this article in the introduction: Causes of atheism.

Second, I don't want to do too much in the introduction so keeping it the way it is. However, I did just add a link to the article definition of atheism fairly early in the article. Conservative 20:58, 21 April 2015 (EDT)

The effects and some of the historical events related to atheism is covered in the second paragraph of this atheism article. There is a sentence in the second paragraph which reads: "Atheism has been examined by many disciplines in terms of its effects on individuals and society and these effects will be covered shortly." When you click on the words "of its effects" in that sentence, the article will take you to the Atheism statistics article which covers some of the effects/history of atheism. Plus, the "Atheism statistics" article links to Conservapedia's History of atheism article and articles related to the history of atheism. Conservative 14:23, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Missionary, I partly implemented your first suggestion today and did it in a concise way that keeps the flow of the article going. I linked to the Definition of atheism article within the second sentence which explains things further.

In addition, fairly soon in the article, resources on the agnosticism/atheism issue is now given. Conservative (talk) 19:42, 22 September 2015 (EDT)
