Apparently, like any other philosophy, some atheists may be convinced that their philosophy is superior to other philosophies. I‘ve noticed a tendency in certain atheist views to be focused on large or cosmic catastrophes that are mostly far beyond our control and always mean our total annihilation. Like a gamma ray burst hitting our planet and transforming our atmosphere into mostly nitrogen dioxide. Or the activity of dark matter or some sub-atomic particles ripping our universe apart or making it collapse, destroying all matter in this process. Or the hysteria about various diseases in far away countries with actually very low mortality rates. What is the good in focusing on catastrophes you mostly cannot prevent? The only effect I see is setting people into permanent panic mode. And what is the solution to this panic mode? Voidism? Consuming more and more?
I was raised with a focus on atheist philosophy but I’ve come to the conclusion that a theism which focuses on reinforcing things like trust and community spirit may be a healthier alternative to an atheistically motivated permanent focus on cataclysms.
Please discuss.
