Aethism or Atheism is the non belief, disbelief, or lack of belief in a G-d or at the very minimum the disbelief in a G-d that has direct control over an individual humans life.
An atheist is often described as a philosophical believer in advanced concepts of G-d; however, this is not necessarily true. It is often a violation of religious freedoms and expression of thought to describe an atheist as an advanced theologian or seminarian, often without a university or college degree to document their advanced level of knowledge.
Where this misconception comes from, is due to the fact that between 1987 and 1992 nearly most of the USA identified as a Christian or from a Christian household and only around five percent of the USA identified as not belonging to a church.
Atheism began to have steady increases in popularity around 1995 and reached conversions of nearly twenty percent of the population in 2005. Before that, being agnostic or atheists was a rare admission and could result in deprivation of economic activity, isolation, and restrictions from dating including assault or harassment of a love interest. For example, restricting them from working until they were back on government services and then forcing them to relocate to an area where government services were more readily available.
These types of behaviors resulted in accusations of all kinds of civil violations including violation of freedom of movement, right to travel, medical privacy rights, marital privacy rights, bedroom privacy rights, and violations of economic participation rights including the refusal to print money for any activities that were not Christian based or Church oriented.
Apologetics, Dogma, knowledge of civil rights, and excellent budgeting were often requirements to obtain freedom of religion rights; many atheist were initially well versed in the Christian bible during this time which lead to further accusations that atheism meant an advanced theologian or theist, meaning a person who studies deities.
Often, it is identified as anti theist.
There are approximately 95 million to 115 million atheists in the USA as of 2025 and that number is likely growing due to similar reasons that caused it to reach its numbers from 2005 to 2012. Many of the philosophical debates are based on based on the amount of human suffering and sadism in the United States.
Sadism is the desire to humiliate others so that pleasure can be derived from observation of the humiliating activities. In Christianity, this is described as long-suffering and a requirement of achieving salvation.
Behaviors that are often described as sadistic include things that can be summarized as financial humiliation, forcing people to move from place to place, invasion of privacy, and destruction of property that is incompatible with Christianity.
Atheists often give many Bible verses on non harassment to Christians in order to assert their right to not participate in their religion:
- Judge not
- Dust your feet
- Don’t cast your pearls
- Free will
- Love your enemies
- Treat others
- Slap your cheek
- G-d gives good things
- Philosophies on Hatred
- Covetousness
- Vengeance is mine
- Lot and Job
- The Judgement seat
This has added to the theist philosophy but atheists often don’t believe in G-d or don’t believe that G-d has direct control over their lives. Normally, the second case would be considered more of an agnostic where they are unsure if their is a G-d or not.
Often times, harassment is a claim that is given in courts regarding religious freedom violations when a conversation, debate or dialogue or non participation in a religion turns into a never ending invitation to attend Church services.
Although Congress can make no law respecting an establishment of religion, things like restraining orders, trespassing, harassment, and privacy rights pertain to everyone and apply equally to people engaged in certain behaviors.
Atheists have certain traits that makes their religion desirable and even though their is a lack of religion, it falls under first amendment rights that a person’s religion can be the religion of denying the existence of G-d.
Some of these traits include the following:
- Law abiding or legalism
- Voting, makes it possible to make majority behaviors non-illegal and Ex-post facto laws prevent existing behaviors from becoming illegal in a persons lifetime.
- Scientific and Analytical
- Questioning things, seeking answers, experimenting with non illegal behaviors and observing results; often circulating those results for further experimentation or observation by others, who can then vote on the behaviors.
- Healthy and Hygienic
- Being analytical often leads to examination of a persons own body, thoughts, philosophies, behaviors, interactions, and responses to environmental stimuli. This often leads to making decisions that lead to more positive hormone release, healthier thought processes, and more hygienic lifelong habits.
- Educated and Well Mannered
- Many behaviors build on other behaviors; being analytical can lead to further thought exploration, which might result in additional reading, studying, contemplating, and expressing. More recently studying might include listening or watching content with visual examples, auditory explanations, and static simulations documented as a visual recording. Being law abiding and hygienic can lead to more human interactions which require good manners to form friendships that are healthy and beneficial to human development.
Jobs that are popular with atheists can be anything today and religion is often covered by privacy rights meaning its up to each person how much or how little they want to reveal or share about their religion to another person.
Initially, atheists had jobs that required non biased behaviors, self examination of prejudice, discrimination, and non inclusiveness as well as considerations for non participation and focusing on self expression and examination of responses to environmental interactions.
These jobs were often roles such as non religiously biased policy maker, scientist, legal examiner, doctors, nurses, computer professionals, accountants, and surprisingly humanitarian assistance workers.
After 2012, many religions that had lack of a belief in G-d or that G-d had any direct control over their lives were desired to be consolidated into atheism, this was to ease government administration requirements and to test atheists level of inclusiveness.
Because of concerns with misrepresentation and upsetting the status quo some religions had to make changes, adjustments, or decide atheism didn’t really fit with their religion after all.
Of important note is the Buddhist concept of Aura and the Hindu philosophy of Chakras which are part of the physical body and can be scientifically examined as being detectable through neurological processes or the central nervous system.
There are also considerations in spirits, dimensions, wormholes, blackholes, particle physics, and space/time parameters that are part of these conversations. The goal is not to prove or disprove the existence of G-d but to examine our environment and to document how it responds to human interactions.
The religions for consideration:
- New Age – this is thought philosophy mostly based on atheism, agnostic, free will or liberal interpretation of Christianity. More recently, they veer towards non Christian and identify as definitely not anti-authoritarian but definite desire of non participation with Abrahamic religions.
- Mindfulness – literally an awareness of how humans interact with each other and how the environment responds to our interactions, movements, behaviors, and hormones. Often seeks to create or participate in a world where social interactions are peaceful, non-aggressive, mutually agreeable, and based mostly on common goals and objectives with venues to discuss new or alternate activities.
- Spiritualism – focusing on psychology, neurology, and sensory system responses to environmental stimuli. Examines hormone release and reactions by other humans and how those reactions and responses affect social norms and spiritual awareness; including modification of behaviors to restore equilibrium and balance to the spirit.
- Yoga – stretches, poses, chanting, and chakras; most religious details and requirements have been removed or modified for use in the Western Hemisphere.
- Tai Chi – stretches, poses, meditation, aura, and balance within a human environment and confidence building for human interaction.
- Karate – mostly confidence building, meditation, and energy building, or energy release.
Most atheists are non violent, usually because its not necessary in a law abiding geographical area with good forums for examination and discussion of behaviors. Some atheists do have jobs that require violence or restraining people and they often add self defense to their regular behaviors and exercises; however, they usually refrain from talking about those behaviors outside of work or with a qualified professional.
Diet – examination of human behaviors and social interactions has led to a high level of participation in vegan diets and nutritional developments from atheists. However, atheists are not officially or unofficially restricted by a specific diet. This means that persons moving into predominantly atheist areas are able to obtain at least some of the foods that they are accustomed to while a nutritionist exams area diets and disparities or missing nutrients that a person requires for optimal health. Overall, atheist areas have food availability that is based on supply and demand, and majority consent. There are often specific areas that will have specialty foods as needed.
People assimilate with atheists for various reasons such as exploring non-religion, enjoying their living environment, not being aware that it is an atheist area, and fitting into an area because they are able to follow the expected conduct in that area. Some also don’t want to identify or share their religion with others, or don’t want to practice or participate in their religion outside of private areas such as a home, friend, or significant others house.
Overall, atheism works well for many people because it is analytical, logical, scientific and examines questions that they or other humans have rather than accepting answers from previously examined contexts as a universal truth.
