Atheists in a Conformist Society

With rise in population, particularly in the third world, people have more problems and have to be more busy than they used to be earlier some 30 years back. Now they have no time to think on new ideas or in non-conventional ways. This has resulted in their becoming conformists. In-spite of more of educated persons in the society and their better lifestyles, they no more question views and opinions poured on them and accept whatever is told to them. It does not mean that they follow whatever is told to them, they simply say 'yes' to all to get rid of the non-conventional thoughts and ideas.


In all conformist societies, theism is found to be omnipresent in the life and blood of people, not because they pondered over this issue and accepted it as their choice, but because it was forced on them by some cunning persons to serve their own vested interests. Theism was preached for the first time about 2400 years ago in a well organized way and since then the preachings have been very regular and organized by the vested interests. During this period, theists of the world have remained thinly scattered and passive. This makes human societies composed of mostly theists. Many such societies have never heard of atheism even as a possibility. Atheism has been an extra-human word to them.


Who are atheists now? Recent researches in psychology have proved that atheists are more intelligent tan the theists in general. This is naturally proved by the fact that only a thinking person can be an atheist in the theist societies, and thinking is an exercise of intellect.


Theism is a business spread all over the world while atheism is no body's business. Therefore, theism is preached and propagated by those in business of God, religions and spirituality etc.Its wings have multiple dimensions like astrology, religious festivities and many such rituals spanning from birth to death of persons.


Atheism need no preachings because it is a concept of non-existence which neither can be proved nor need support. It is an escape from theism through logical thinking and so is naturally available to all species of life at the time of birth. Only human minds get corrupted by theism in the childhood itself. So only atheism is pure humanism.
