🔒 Closed Do atheists understand that there will never be proof of God, therefore they just have to trust?

Answer #1:

Do atheists understand that there will never be proof of God

Well, yeah. If something probably doesn’t exist, then there likely isn’t going to be evidence that it does.

therefore they just have to trust?

No, I don’t. Furthermore, I reject the notion outright.
I actually think it’s a moral imperative to reject claims that lack supporting evidence.
The stronger the claim, the stronger the evidence needs to be for me to consider it valid.
And the reason is dead simple. Literally.

Each one of those corpses was once a person that “just had trust” in Jim Jones.

Answer #2:
Finally we have someone prepared to admit there’s no evidence for God.
That leaves us with why, if that’s the case, anyone should believe he’s real.
I’m not going to “trust” in anything there’s no evidence for.
I could trust anything and everything if that’s the case.
Totally irrational.

Jonestown is a good example on why religious teaching should not be a matter of "trust" in the context of loyalty towards the teacher, or any made up superstitious being like gods, saints or aliens.

In short it should not be a belief system, but instead promoted as philosophical ideas.
