Axiomatic Atheism in Alain Badiou's thought

Abstract:
Alain Badiou is one of the leading contemporary thinkers whose ideas in philosophy have seriously influenced theological discourse. His thought mainly relies on two pillars, ontology and theory of the event. Based on these ideas, he tries to remove religious/spiritual elements of contemporary thought. With his novel mathematical ontology of multiple, he tries to categorize and criticize all theological discourses, especially what relates to God and tries to block the return of religious thought. He uses mathematics as the Ontology of the death of God, which in this text called ‘Axiomatic Atheism’. Analyzing this title, we first describe the main principles of his ontology, especially what related to death of god. Then we examine these principles and his proposed model to show some possible criticism about his atheistic thought.
