Is there a resource of Athe(ism)?

English evolves. Historical definitions aren't always in current
use. Today, atheism means disbelief in gods, which can range
from denial of their existence (strong atheism) to non-belief
(weak atheism).
A modern reference...
Definition of atheism | Dictionary.com

BTW, I never needed a resource for atheism.
Non-belief is that simple, unlike religions.
Evolution goes on in every walk of life, the truthful religion also gets reformed with the time and space under a process fixed by the Being who has created the life (before-life as well as the after-life), nature and Universe/s, please. Right?
Atheism is a term of Philosophy and within its domain it may change but not out of its specific domain, as a natural word evolves which is not their right to do, please. Right?
For definition of Atheism please quote from the consensus " resource" of Atheism instead of any excuses in this connection, please. Right?
Else this ism people make a "'resource" for reference please. Right?

Haven't they adopted it as a tactic, please?
(The Atheism)" They simply disagree."

They (the Atheism) just sprang up in sixteenth century from nowhere or one may say from an imaginary/magical or unnatural fairyland and or from Philosophy in the West, in counter-reaction to the mythical Pauline-Christianity, anybody could say. Right?
It has got nothing to do with the natural Word, or the natural Work from which Science finally corrects its anomalies, I perceive, please. Right?

Regards
Yup.

Logic and reason.
Atheism isn't necessarily something you "get to." It's something you're born with. Religion is something you get to.
Religion is learned. Atheism is the default.

Resources: Home
" Atheism is the default."

Religions/truthful Religion existed from many centuries ago, yet this "default" ism suffixed with Athe sprang-up later in the West in the sixteenth century. Is that one wants to express please.
We are not discussing here the non-believers in the East, please note. That is altogether another discussion, please.

Logic. Atheism are terms of (imaginative) Philosophy don't pertain to truthful (natural Word of) Religion or the natural (Work of) Science that has to tally with Nature, please. Right?

_____________
*logic (n.)
mid-14c., logike, "branch of philosophy that treats of forms of thinking; the science of distinction of true from false reasoning," from Old French logique (13c.), from Latin (ars) logica "logic," from Greek (he) logike (techne) "(the) reasoning (art)," from fem. of logikos "pertaining to speaking or reasoning" (also "of or pertaining to speech"), from logos "reason, idea, word" (see Logos). Formerly also logick. Sometimes formerly plural, as in ethics, but this is not usual. Meaning "logical argumentation" is from c. 1600. Contemptuous logic-chopper "sophist, person who uses subtle distinctions in argument" is from 1846.

You aren't born with anything, apart from what one tends to get from just being a human being. What you get as to religious beliefs, even as to belief in God, tends to come from where one was born - in most cases. Would you have your particular religious belief if born in another country? That is where the default atheism comes from - that religious beliefs are more often imposed on one. Babies aren't born with any beliefs as to such. All the rest that you mention about the past is just that - history - and doesn't determine what we experience as individuals now, and what we label as atheism has always existed, and always will probably as long as belief in God exists.

" What research? "

research (n.)
1570s, "act of searching closely" for a specific person or thing, from French recerche (1530s, Modern French recherche), back-formation from Old French recercher "seek out, search closely" (see research (v.)).

The meaning "diligent scientific inquiry and investigation directed to the discovery of some fact" is attested by 1630s. The general sense of "investigations into things, the habit of making close investigations" is by 1690s. The phrase research and development for "work on a large scale toward innovation" is recorded from 1923.
research (v.)
1590s, "investigate or study (a matter) closely, search or examine with continued care," from French recercher, from Old French recercher "seek out, search closely," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see re-), + cercher "to seek for," from Latin circare "go about, wander, traverse," in Late Latin "to wander hither and thither," from circus "circle" (see circus).
The intransitive meaning "make researches" is by 1781. Sometimes 17c. also "to seek (a woman) in love or marriage." Related: Researched; researching.

It is good to research for a relative new philosophical ism as Atheists' ism happens to be, since Religion already existed from centuries before, please. Right?
Kindly get started to research for the "ism", if one couldn't do it earlier, please. Right?

Regards
Astrology, and the belief that black cats bring bad luck, exists also since a very long time, and? Do you think that X becomes respectable because it existed a long time? I would say that believing in X since a long time rather correlates negatively with the fact of X being true.

In the same way we matured as a species and call a superstition for what it is, we also saw that there is no evidence of any God, and there is therefore no rational reason to believe in Her. You don't need any research for something so obvious as you do not need any research to deny the existence of Batman or the Blue Fairy.

The a-theism predates the creation of man, like the commutative law of arithmetic.
"Default is a mathematical concept. It's the logical 'blank slate' that exists before any knowledge or evidence; before any ideas are conceived or conclusions drawn.
A thing -- leprechauns, pink unicorns, automobiles -- are assumed not to exist before there is evidence that they do. This is not an "~ism." It's logic.

Is there a resource of Athe(ism)?

The Atheists people's ism is not a natural ism on many counts:

  1. Admittedly , sort of certain to state, that it (Atheism) is a term of Philosophy and was never a natural Word of a natural language spoken naturally in converse/communication by the masses with one another. Right?
For examples of the use of -ism as a suffix:
Right?

Regards
But atheism isn't a philosophy, it's not an ideology or movement.
A lack of belief is.... nothing. Atheism is no thing.

Analogy: Is a lack of belief in leprechauns or unicorns on Mars a philosophy, ideology or movement?
