What characterizes atheism?

These are some characteristics that define atheism:

1. Lack of belief in gods
An important reason that people become atheists is that they do not find that the empirical evidence for God’s existence is convincing. In relation to the existence of gods, they think rationally as well as critically and require logical arguments to support the existence of gods.

2. Focus on the natural world
Atheists tend to believe that the natural world is all there is, and that supernatural explanations are not needed.

3. Focus on human values
Many atheists derive their ethical principles from, for example, human values. In this regard, atheists do not believe that religious beliefs are necessary for morality. Atheists believe that they can be just as moral as religious people. Often, they believe that morality is based on reason and empathy rather than on religious belief.

4. Atheist respect other people’s beliefs
Atheists are not necessarily against religion. Many atheists respect other people’s religious beliefs.
