The followers of various religions have their own concepts of God. However, when it comes to the opposite of the believers- the atheists, explaining their ideology is very simple. They are all non-believers, or so we think. It may not be in common knowledge, especially of non-readers, but atheism also has many types. While all the types come down to meaning “non-believersâ€, there are small but significant attributes that set them apart from one another. According to an atheism study study published in CNN on July 15th, 2013, and conducted by two researchers, Mr. Silver and Mr. Coleman at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, atheism is an umbrella of at least 6 types. But, before we discuss the 6 types, let’s draw out the differences between the three primary types, that most of us regard to be synonyms to each other. They are Atheist, Agnostic, and Apatheist.
They are unsure about the presence of God, yet stay mindful of the limitations of human knowledge and lack of matter proving the absence of God. They aren’t exactly confused but accept that there’s an uncertainty surrounding the concept.
