So the Atheistic movement is one of rational thought, yes?
This is far more complicated than it sounds. One cannot simply go up to a religious person and say, "Hey you: think more rationally!" We must pressure and encourage others to think clearly while at the same time giving any and all empirical information at our disposal. This will eventually lead to clarity of thought and, in time, atheism.
We must first realize exactly how to be rational and to live our lives accordingly. This ensures that there is at least one more rational person in the world. Being rational means following a few common sense rules:
- Never substituting supernatural explanations when scientific explanations are available
- Generally using Occam's Razor
- Educating oneself and others as much as possible
Plus whatever else you think makes you a rational human being. These simple steps will go a long way toward making the world a better place.
