Abstract:

Talking about the belief in God and its opposite point, atheism, is one of the essential topics in theology and philosophy. Rejection of monotheistic worldview, negation of faith and surrender to any supernatural object or person, disbelief in the existence of a personal God who plays a role in human existence and life, denial of fixed beliefs and laws and monotheistic dogma or rites and rituals, negation of immortality and utopianism of monotheistic religions and so on, are the common characteristics of atheists. But the question is whether atheists really are honest in their claim of independence and distance from theism in their worldview, beliefs, and actions. With a descriptive-analytical method and by presenting numerous pieces of evidence, this article has challenged the claim that atheism is a totally independent and contradictory idea and is opposed to theism and considered it false. The result of this evidence and reasons is that atheism is a crude, immature, and indefensible idea and, at best, a clumsy, unjustified, and impractical copycat of theism.
