A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy.
***
If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value?
***
If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?
***
Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

Quick Addendum to the previous post...
It occurs to me that, agreeing that empiricism is not a belief system, it is a process, a discipline, falls short of addressing the full topic. Naturalism and Materialism are the belief systems that associate themselves (parasitically) with empiricism. Disassociating them from empiricism for the purpose of analyzing them for validity is essential.
