THIS paper refutes claims made in the article Atheism no smarter than Christianity by Learnmore Zuze (hereinafter referred to as the author). Using logical arguments, research findings and facts; it shows that the article is demonstrably fallacious and highlights the dearth of knowledge concerning secularism and objective morality. For those who have not read the article by Learnmore Zuze, it is available here: http://www.newzimbabwe.com/columns-21370-Atheism+no+smarter+than+Christianity/columns.aspx
1) WITHOUT a Supreme Being (God) to account to, and in the absence of an ultimate authority in the universe, it logically follows that human beings are their own masters and a law unto themselves. In fact, more graphically, it translates to this: the wicked massacres of defence-less citizens by the wicked regimes of this world; the wanton rape; the abuse of the innocent; the senseless genocides and the numerous injustices witnessed over the centuries will be perfectly in place as there is no answerability and, consequently, no judgment.
This is a claim against objective morality, apropos, without a deity we would all be murderers and/rapists. However, religion is not a moral system or even a system based on justice. It is a system of authority. Whatever the god-figure decrees is correct, the moral repercussions notwithstanding. In no other sphere would an edict to stone a person to death or sacrifice ones own child in a sanguinary ritual be tolerated.
Religion justifies macabre acts using arguments from authority. We do not get our morality from religion; religion gets its morality from us. Nobody needs the Ten Commandments to know that killing is wrong. We have an innate sense of what is wrong and what is right which predates any born again experience. We know better than to stone people for working on the Sabbath or committing adultery even though religious texts demand it.
The absence of a divine supervisor does not preclude human compassion and empathy. In fact, the entire human understanding of law, justice and accountability is grounded in secular thinking. Objective morality is based on human desire for the highest attainable states of good. We make our own laws, draw up our own constitutions and enforce our own edicts; the era of the superstitious being the regulator of human conduct is far behind us.
However, as the author himself alludes to, the Old Testament of the Christian Bible is an orgy of macabre acts done because of and not in spite of religion. Religion does not prevent the morally repugnant. In fact, it often requires and justifies it; prompting talk-show host Bill Mahers dicta that the period in which religious thinking formulated public morality is still rightly referred to as the Dark Ages.
2) Atheism, by rejecting the existence of God, is nothing but a secreted way of propping up lawlessness, anarchy and transgression in the universe.
The author acknowledges that atheism is the rejection of the notion that a god exists then goes on to counter that claim by stating that it is a way of propping up lawlessness and anarchy. Atheism is just the rejection of one notion: theism. It says nothing about whether one is a pacifist, anarchist, environmentalist or any other such taxonomy.
However, as a response to that mistaken yet commonly held view, reference must be made to those countries where secularism has taken root and atheists are the vast majority of the population. The Scandinavian countries, Japan and Iceland are notable examples of countries in which secularism has taken root and religious people are in the minority. These countries are not synonymous with lawlessness and transgression as the author would seem to imply. In fact, they consistently rank amongst the top performers on scores of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate, and infant mortality.
On the other hand, the bottom 50 countries on the Unites Nations Human Development Index are consistently and unwaveringly religious. This does not mean secularism leads to greater prosperity or even more sustainable development and this may well be correlation without causation. However, it does refute the outrageous claim that atheism is an appeal to lawlessness and transgression; a claim further compounded by data recently revealed by Google showing that the majority of countries in the top ten of porn-searching countries are religious states.

Eye wide shut: A response to Atheism no smarter than Christianity
March 25, 2015|11:46 am
"Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson at the "I Stand Sunday" event in Houston, Texas, Sunday, November 2, 2014.
"Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson gave an impassioned speech at the Vero Beach Prayer Breakfast on Friday equating non-salvation and disbelief with violence.
"Two guys break into an atheist's home. He has a little atheist wife and two little atheist daughters," Robertson said. "Two guys break into his home and tie him up in a chair and gag him. And then they take his two daughters in front of him and rape both of them and then shoot 'em and they take his wife and then decapitate her head off in front of him. And then they look at him and say, 'Isn't it great that I don't have to worry about being judged? Isn't it great that there's nothing wrong with this? There's no right or wrong, now is it dude!"
Robertson wanted to drive home the point that disbelief can lead to unspeakable violence because there's no fear of judgment in the afterlife.
He continued: "Then you take a sharp knife and take his manhood and hold it in front of him and say, 'Wouldn't it be something if there was something wrong with this? But you're the one who says there is no God, there's no right, there's no wrong, so we're just having fun. 'We're sick in the head; have a nice day.'"
"If it happened to them, they would probably say, 'Something about this just ain't right.'"
Robertson is known for speaking his mind when it comes to religious views and his Christian testimony. Doing so nearly cost him the reality show he and his family star on; Robertson previously made comments about homosexuality that resulted in a great deal of backlash and executives at A&E temporarily suspended Robertson from the series but after fans spoke out in support of Robertson, they changed their minds and brought him back. "Duck Dynasty" has been on the air for seven seasons.
The Vero Beach Prayer Breakfast brought together a group of believers who wanted to gather and seek God's guidance in their own lives and those of fellow Americans.

Would Richard Dawkins ever acknowledge that his rabid atheism is actually a religious view?
Atheism is the belief that there is no god. According to the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
Buddhism is atheistic in the sense of denying that there is any overarching deity such as the Creator-God of the Bible. Atheism in the western sense excludes Buddhism, and adherents claim that it is not a religion. One Atheist said:
However, atheists make such claims so Atheism can avoid legal imperatives placed on religions in many countries, and can avoid some of the ideological hang-ups people have about religion. It also creates a false dichotomy between science (which they claim must be naturalistic and secular) and religion.
Atheism3 will be defined in the contemporary western sense: not just the lack of belief in a god, but the assertion about the non-existence of any gods, spirits, or divine or supernatural beings. Atheists in this sense are metaphysical naturalists, and as will be shown, they DO follow a religion.
Atheism creates a false dichotomy between science (which they claim must be naturalistic and secular) and religion.
Religion is a difficult thing to define. Various definitions have been proposed, many of which emphasize a belief in the supernatural.4 But such definitions break down on closer inspection for several reasons. They fail to deal with religions which worship non-supernatural things in their own right (for example Jainism, which holds that every living thing is sacred because it is alive, or the Mayans who worshiped the sun as a deity in and of itself rather than a deity associated with the sun)5; they fail to include religions such as Confucianism and Taoism which focus almost exclusively on how adherents should live, and the little they do say about supernatural issues such as the existence of an afterlife is very vague; they also dont deal with religious movements centred around UFOswhich believe that aliens are highly (evolutionarily) advanced (but not supernatural) beings.
A better way to determine whether a worldview is a religion is to look for certain characteristics that religions have in common. The framework set forth by Ninian Smart,6 commonly known as the Seven Dimensions of Religion, is widely accepted by anthropologists and researchers of religion as broadly covering the various aspects of religion, without focusing on things unique to specific religions.
The seven dimensions proposed by Smart are narrative, experiential, social, ethical, doctrinal, ritual and material. Not every religion has every dimension, nor are they all equally important within an individual religion. Smart even argues that the secularisation of western society is actually a shift of focus from the doctrinal and ritual to the experiential.

About Atheism [Index]
Various introductions to atheism, including its definition; its relationship to agnosticism, theism, and noncognitivism; and its value.
Arguments for Atheism [Index]
In this section, "arguments for atheism" means "arguments for the nonexistence of God." In the jargon of the philosophy of religion, such arguments are known as "atheological arguments." The argument from evil (sometimes referred to as 'the problem of evil') is by far the most famous of such arguments, but it is by no means the only such argument. Indeed, in the 1990s atheist philosophers developed a flurry of atheological arguments; arguably the most famous of such arguments is the argument from divine hiddenness (and the related argument from nonbelief).

Is Evolution At Odds With Atheism?

WITHOUT a Supreme Being (God) to account to, and in the absence of an ultimate authority in the universe, it logically follows that human beings are their own masters and a law unto themselves. In fact, more graphically, it translates to this: the wicked massacres of defence-less citizens by the wicked regimes of this world; the wanton rape; the abuse of the innocent; the senseless genocides and the numerous injustices witnessed over the centuries will be perfectly in place as there is no answerability and, consequently, no judgment.
This is precisely what the devil craves for the human race to believe. Atheism, by rejecting the existence of God, is nothing but a secreted way of propping up lawlessness, anarchy and transgression in the universe. Atheism represents the mindset that Satan (whom they think is imaginary), desires humans to have. Atheism, by design or default, is an adroit satanic ideology meant to promote immorality throughout the world. Where it not for space, I would have had readers realize the striking and salient similarities between verses from the satanic bible (written by Antony Lavey) and independent atheistic writings.
I have also realized that atheists, eccentrically, suffer from an extremely developed smarter-than-thou-complex. They claim to be more enlightened than the manic lunatics of religion. A sister from Netherlands wrote, I have suffered much grief debating with atheists as they trash the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ and God. This is not strange, personally I have debated with decorated atheists and one thing that surely stands out in the atheistic argument is their smarter-than-thou attitude. Atheists view themselves as having a monopoly over truth and knowledge, an accusation they ironically direct at Christians. Atheism is anchored in the belief that no deities exist. Building on this belief, atheists go on the rampage attacking everything in their path that is religion.
Atheists points of attack, particularly on Christianity, centre on the purported crimes and abusive practices found in the Old Testament; practices such as slavery, sanctioned murders and generally, the massive suffering in the world today. These things equip the deluded atheistic mind with unholy zeal to go on an offensive against Christianity. For long, I have realized the futility of debating with atheists mainly because of their preoccupation with attacking personalities.
The ill-advised part of atheism is that it ridiculously demands proof of the existence of God by intending him to prove himself in a way they (fallible humans) have codified. They think of God as some petite being they can tinker with; they do not want God operating on his own terms. They want a God who would yield to their (warped) ideology of how he should operate before they validate him. Why doesnt God end the wars in various states? Why does he allow the suffering to continue? Why didnt he fight for Christ when he was being crucified? The list of the sanctimonious questions goes on. Sadly, the answers to these questions lie in the very bible which they spurn.
Atheists claim that their belief system is morally superior to religion largely because it does not lead to murderous fanaticism. Paradoxically, atheists have been the most fanatical hatred spreaders against those who believe in religion. In the 20th century, millions were slaughtered by communist regimes that embraced militant atheism as part of their creed Atheist intolerance exists in unbridled proportions and they simply cant claim the moral high ground to be better than Christianity. They seek to justify their nearly-insane ideology by incessant attacks on the bible itself. While atheists may cite biblical incidences and treacherously seek for loopholes, it is imprudent for them to claim the high moral ground over Christianity.
Whether from a scientific or religious view, atheism is no smarter than religion. Unreligious scientists, for centuries, confirm by a mere dissection of the human body that 100% someone designed the human body. Science, in recent years, continues to make a case for God. Theorist Physicist Paul Davies has said that The appearance of design is overwhelming. Oxford professor Dr John Lennox has said the more we get to know about our universe, the more the hypothesis that there is a creatorgains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here.
The system we call the universe, itself. Its structure and how it operates, from a purely scientific point of view incontrovertibly proves the existence of One who designed it. The evidence is simply overwhelming. The Bible is a collection of scores of books which were written years apart yet there is striking harmony in the message. Every book, for example, in the Old Testament points to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. Like I mentioned, its too much to ask atheism to comprehend such a thing as the pre-existence of Jesus Christ which they viciously attack using a carnal mind. Jesus existed from the beginning (John 1:1); he did not father himself as they blasphemously claim.
In all honesty, atheists should do some soul-searching. God operates on principle which, if flouted, consequences result. For example, Aarons sons were advised not to use fire and they disobeyed and that had consequences. Annanias and Sapphira knew what was expected of them when they sold a piece of their land yet they chose to disobey and certainly too that brought consequences. Its the same story with Adam and Eve. God cannot be held in error for operating on principle. We cant use terrorist acts by Islamic extremists as a basis for bastardizing religion. Surely, it befuddles the mind why atheism would choose this route of appalling ignorance. Surely, it can only be the fool who has said there is no God.
