I'm wondering about the unknown. I'm wondering what would happen if say... Paganism was the dominant religion in America. Would atheism be as great in number? Would they be more accepting of that or would they be as hardcore as they are toward Christianity?
Aahh. Since everyone is redining defintions, some people equate their athiesm with lack of belief in abrahamic gods but a leave way just in case another God moves through.
If what I said is true, Id say yes to your question. That is, if atheism is only tied to christianity...which to people it seems to be.
Paganism, traditionally, is a folk practices around the world that could be polytheistic, monotheistic, etc. Not all are nature oriented. That said, a person who lacks belief in Any deity (an atheist) would not believe in paganism and other faiths where deities are more than concepts but entities.
Also,nit depends on theist defintions to. Atheist isnt a root word so whatever the theist believes (maybeba racoon flying) someone can disbelieve it, theyd be an atheist.
Not necesarrily christianity though it sure does seem that way.
