Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
In actual fact I would say atheism is a cult, which is quite different than a religion.
A previous review of Jinn's book against the mental vagaries and illusions of Atheism is here. Jinn is an atheist apostate, who underwent remediation treatment including reality, science, common-sense and morality, thus rejecting his former cult dogma. Some key insights into the mental-derangement-syndrome of atheism include:
1. Atheism negates science:
“If science works, then the universe works. If the universe works, then it means that is was made; because what is not made, cannot possibly “work”. In short; science is exactly the kind of exercise one would expect to be able to engage in if indeed we lived in a world that was created by someone/something enormously intelligent and powerful.”
2. The Big Bang puzzles atheists:
“Perhaps the best argument in favor of the thesis that the Big Bang supports theism is the obvious unease with which it is greeted by atheist physicists. At times this has led to scientific ideas, such as continuous creation or an oscillating universe, being advanced with a tenacity which so exceeds their intrinsic worth that one can only suspect the operation of psychological forces lying very much deeper than the usual academic desire of a theorist to support his/her theory.”
[note: there are plenty of issues with the Big Bang, and some atheists contend that the BB was created ex-nihilo thereby 'proving' evolution].
3. Law of entropy puzzles atheists:
“If our universe is using up its energy, then it cannot be true that it is eternal in the past. If it were, then the heat death would have already happened. This is one of the reasons why an eternal series of past events is so unlikely.”
4. Chaos and chance don't lead to much:
“...probability of our universe existing as a result of either chance or necessity is miniscule, as is the possibility of a past-eternal spacetime and an ex nihilo spontaneous self-creation.”
5. Atheists fail philosophy:
“...number of reasons why scientism is unrealistic, chief among which is the immediate fact that it is self-refuting. Consider the following statements: “Anything science cannot confirm is meaningless” Science cannot confirm that statement.”
6. Atheism is determinism, which denies free-will [and reason, and faith, and thinking....]
“...determinism is the denial of the human capacity for free will. Free will is incompatible with atheism for the reason that non-deterministic action would imply that there is something primary over matter and energy.”
7. Atheism and Darwinism lead to Nazi dogma:
“...irony of Nietzsche’s atheistic nihilism, combined with his branch-philosophy of the Übermensch and the will to power is that it would go on to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, forming the essential foundations of the single bloodiest era in all of human history, personified by the bane of Nazism.”
Atheists must be proud. Their cult denies science, reason, evidence, facts, metaphysics, free-will, morality, spirituality, material understanding and leads to the evolutionary-premised cults of Fascism and its twin, Communism.
Nice.
