The above is incorrect for atheism does not speak.

 

[Epic Beard Man]

Can you expound on what that means?

That is the beginning and that is the end. The starting point of a circle that goes from here- - to here. Finito

False. Atheists claim 2+2=4 is right like everyone else. Also earth is spherical etc.

Yes, but atheism? It's a lowkey trick question.

 

[Valjean]

Yes, atheism "on its own" makes no claims.

 

[Shushersbedamned]

Yes, atheism "on its own" makes no claims.

What is the purpose of it then? Sounds kind of like a radio that doesn't have sounds.

Atheism doesn't claim anything.

Atheists, on the other hand, can often claim many things. What they claim depends on the atheist. For instance, I claim - among other things - that trees are made of wood and that Canada would be better off as a republic.

Is there a restriction on Atheism people not to believe that it is wrong, please?
They can believe/not-believe anything right or wrong or lack thereof ,or both.
Right, please?

Yes. But I find it funny that you were asked does it claim X and you answered 'no' and now I ask you what does it claim and you say it doesn't claim anything - and we can perhaps agree that what you mean is that it isn't capable of doing such a thing...

But then why would OP ask such a thing and why would you answer as you did as if the answer could have been 'yes'?

True. The only restriction atheism imposes is that anyone who is an atheist will have no belief in the existence of a God.

I'm not sure I follow you.

There are no claims associated with atheism. "Atheism" is just the word we use to describe being outside the scope of theism.

- a theist is anyone who believes in at least one god.
- an atheist is anyone who isn't a theist.
- "atheism" describes the defining characteristic for atheists (i.e. not being theists).

That's it.

Where the restrictions code of Atheism people is mentioned, please?

Not really.

The purpose of the term "atheist" (together with "theist") is to allow us to consider things as a dichotomy based on whether a given person believes in gods.

My claim as an atheist is that I personally don't believe in any God. That's really all there is to it.

The reasons how a person might not believe, have a belief in any Gods can be many.
