For one who believes that there is no deity! Who then is the replacement for that deity? Who is the deity of the atheist? Can we say that the individual atheist is a god or goddess in their own right. With the rejection of a Supreme Being, a supremely good and powerful God, the exclusion of any and all religions. Is it possible, that an atheist is in the state of being a god, the state of being divine?
Is it possible that atheism is a theology? A distinctive body of theological opinions, a theological theory that there is no outside deity other than themselves. Can we assume that an atheist is the master of their life. Can we suppose that the atheist theology is in its self a religion? Can we imply that atheism is in fact "divinity"! A divinity of non-believers who are now beginning to establish mega churches.
What do the atheist talk about? This is a quote from salon.com, "I like the idea of a secular temple, where atheists can enjoy the benefits of an idealized, traditional church—a sense of community, a thought-provoking sermon, a scheduled period of respite, easy access to community service opportunities, group singing, an ethos of self-improvement, free food—without the stinging imposition of God Almighty".
I know I have asked a lot of questions at the beginning of this blog. But why would the atheist want to model there assembly as a church meeting on Sundays? A church service is a place of worship. Who are the atheist worshiping? Certainly not a divine deity, the God of the bible or the many gods of mans religions! This movement by the atheist brings to mind the old saying. HaSatan does not create, he just copies what Yahweh has created and profane it. The atheist is his own god or goddess, he or she is divine, secular humanist divinity. Atheist do not worship other gods or God, they worship themselves as god. They will not have any other gods before them.
