My argument is as follows: atheism seeks the truth, which is
in one perspective admirable and combats faith (the latter represented in Judeo
Christian or modern religion) with evidence. But in my opinion it is a petty ‘ego’
battle – evidence v faith. What benefit does this have on human-outlook-
morality? To implicitly outline that we are merely animals and implicitly
outline that there is no meaning in life –devoid of god (which is however ‘true’)-
‘truth’ can however thus ensue nihilism. Simply, atheists create a ‘void’ which
needs filling. This is where I sound like I’m imitating and admiring Nietzsche-
because the ‘death of god’ (i.e the lack of evidence for religion and the fact
that scientific evidence/ developments since around the 19th century
undermines God’s existence) gives us the chance to do away with the Judeo/modern
religions and create or value a ‘life affirming’ religion, or set of values such
as paganism/odalism (soil and blood) – in opposition to the inherent nihilism
of the atheists and the ‘otherworldliness’ of the Judeo/mod religions.
