Is title of atheist a shame?

Is it appropriate to publish an article in a scientific journal where Hawking is said to be "the leading and outspoken atheist and Professor Dr. Hawking"? Or is the title of an atheist still a shameful thing?

Is it good:

You might say: ``To know everything that means spanning infinity, so,
it would be impossible for such a being to exist.''
No, it is possible, because you are not sure.
If you are perfectly sure, only then it is impossible in your opinion.
Learn the depths inside your own mind.
The outspoken researcher Dr.~Richard Dawkins [the author of ``God's delusion'']
was not sure in Ben Stein's scandal documentary ``Expelled''.


there is NO evidence.
Evidence is different from proof.
Evidence for X just says in favor of X.
The proof for X says beyond reasonable doubt that X holds.

Therefore, the existence of theists, [especially of theistic scientists, physicists], tells in favor of the Existing God, not in favor of nonexisting god. So, the existence of theists is evidence for theism.
If there were only atheists and no single theist in all history of the world, then that is STRONG PROOF of Atheism.

He is not “the leading atheist and Professor Dr. Hawking”. :eek: :rolleyes:
He is “an outspoken atheist, and Professor Dr. Hawking”.

Thankfully, for all of humanity and the world, it is not a shame (or a ‘sin’, or any kind of childish insult) to be called an atheist.

But to be called "atheist" in the top journal of Physics? Is it shame?
There would be no good reason at all in any physics journal to name or discuss the belief system/religion/philosophy of a person you are citing. Physics is not concerned with that.

Also, when naming other scientists who are not atheists, do you say “a known Christian Professor Dr. Common”, or “leading Buddhist Professor Dr. Jadhai”, etc….?
Of course you wouldn’t. :confused: Not if you expect to be taken seriously. :)
