Atheism, Rationality and Religions

All religions fail on rational scrutiny so they disallow it and blame the scientific community, and particularly the atheists, to interfere in their matters of faith. But they never provide justification why even the faith should not be scrutinized. What is rational may be, many times, circumstantial and subjective, but this too does not mean that we allow anything irrational or be like this in our behavior and actions. From atheism point of view, however, there may always be a need to improve upon considerations of rationality.


What all religions flourish on is the terror of not remembering God and other Divinities, thus is a promotion of theism through negative feelings in the minds of people. Religious preachers often remind the people of the day of judgment after their respective deaths to terrify people and make them surrender to the imagination called God through the religions and religious agents. This has become a flourishing business all over the world with concentration in the developing and the under-developed world.


Absolute truth is always the only one and if God is the absolute truth, there can not be different ways to promote Him. This means existence of a single religion on the earth and that is 'humanism' mutilated, damaged and destroyed by multiple religions with vested interests.


The only logic for faith put forward by the theist is that 'seeing something is not necessary for believing in existence of that, it could be through information from those who had seen the thing'. But such a belief must be verifiable through actually seeing or through derivation by the subject if need be. Has anybody claiming to see the God shown it to anybody else? Such so-called divine souls simply play psychological games to make fool of the innocent people and thus misguide them to serve their vested interests.


Another school of thought which has come up to bypass rational scrutiny is 'fideism' which completely forbids rational scrutiny of faith. Indeed it is no thought in any way but just the empiricism.


Whole Nature is transient by its nature itself and this fact has been misused by the theist to preach the search of something stable and they call it God - just an imagination. How and why the stable God will create everything transient?

Another argument put forward by theists is the infinite universe which, they say, must have a creator. They forget and make others to forget that the Nature evolves through its transitory nature, and the whole creation is the result of this evolution. Nothing has been created in a moment but everything has evolved through cause-and-effect principle of Nature.
