Learn how to pronounce Atheism • This is the English pronunciation of the word Atheism. • According to Wikipedia, this is one of the possible definitions of the word Atheism : • Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which, in its most general form, is the belief that at least one deity exists. • The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning without god(s) , used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the gods worshiped by the larger society. With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves using the word atheist lived in the 18th century. Some ancient and modern religions are referred to as atheistic, as they either have no concepts of deities or deny a creator deity, yet still revere other god-like entities. • Arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to social and historical approaches. Rationales for not believing in any supernatural deity include the lack of empirical evidence; the problem of evil; the argument from inconsistent revelations; the rejection of concepts which cannot be falsified; and the argument from nonbelief. Although some atheists have adopted secular philosophies, there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere. Many atheists hold that atheism is a more parsimonious worldview than theism and therefore that the burden of proof lies not on the atheist to disprove the existence of God but on the theist to provide a rationale for theism. • Since conceptions of atheism vary, accurate estimations of current numbers of atheists are difficult. A global poll conducted by Gallup International in 2012 featured over 50,000 respondents and indicated that 13% of those interviewed said they were convinced atheists. Older estimates have indicated that atheists comprise 2% of the world's population, while the irreligious add a further 12%. An even older survey by the BBC, in 2004, recorded atheists as comprising 8% of the world's population. According to other studies, rates of atheism are among the highest in Western nations, again to varying degrees: the United States, for example, returned 4%, while Canada returned 28%. The figures for a 2010 Eurobarometer survey in the European Union (EU), reported that 20% of the EU population claimed not to believe in any sort of spirit, God or life force . • PronunciationAcademy is the world's biggest and most accurate source for word pronunciations, SUBSCRIBE here: / @pronunciationacademy • Twitter: / pronunciationa • Website: http://www.pronunciationacademy.com
