Debate has long raged over whether or not
Atheism is a religion.  Most Christians
claim that it is; atheists, on the other hand, will say that it is not.  Atheism is a broad term.  Some atheists have beliefs quite different
from other atheists.  However, all
atheists hold in common two “beliefs”:

• Atheists
  do not believe in the existence of a God or gods.
• Atheists
  do not believe in an afterlife.  Thus, death is the end.

The lack of belief in a God or gods does not
necessarily mean that atheists are immoral or lack belief in everything.

One
scholar conducted an informal survey of atheists in which he asked them: “Out
of everything in the entire universe, would you say that you know 1% of
everything there is to know?”  All
surveyed confessed that they probably knew less than 1% of everything there is to know.

Then
he asked, “Of the 99% of the universe of which you know nothing, would you
admit it is possible that a supreme
Deity exists?”  Of all those surveyed,
only one still insisted that there was no possibility whatsoever that a God
existed.  Everyone else admitted that
yes, it was possible.

“Then,”
the scholar concluded, “You are not atheists. 
You are truth seekers.”

Most atheists are committed to knowing truth
and they take responsibility for studying it out for themselves.  Many who cling to erroneous traditions in
their own belief systems would do well to emulate the principles atheists use
in their pursuit of truth:

• Just because something is popular does not
  mean it is good.
• Do not believe things just because you want
  them to be true. 
• There is more to moral behavior than
  mindlessly following rules.
• Search for what is true, even if it makes you
  uncomfortable.

Ultimately,
what one believes must be based, to some degree, on trust that the information
presented is correct.  What a person has
not experienced or witnessed for himself will rest, in the end, on the word of
another, whether that is the physicist who conducted the newest experiment
discussed in the latest scientific journal, or an author of one of the books of
the Bible.

WLC
believes in the existence of one Supreme
Deity:
Yahuwah, Creator of the heavens and the earth. 
WLC also freely acknowledges that there is a tremendous amount of error
in the various belief systems that comprise the world’s religions.  This period of earth’s history is wrought
with importance.  It is vital that all know and
understand
for themselves precisely what is truth.

WLC
would like to invite intellectually honest atheists to study the
evidence
we hold as truth.  So strong is truth,
that it can bear the weight of
investigation.  No one is expected to
accept on “blind faith” what is illogical or contradictory.  Pure truth is never contradictory.  It only appears contradictory if it is
entwined with error or incomplete information.

On
that which, by its nature, lacks empirical evidence, we invite truth seekers to
rest on the weight of
evidence.
The Creator Himself has pledged to provide sufficient evidence to all who ask for
it.  He invites: “Come now, let us reason
together.”  (Isaiah 1:18)  He who created the human mind has pledged
that He will supply sufficient evidence to convince those who study with an
open mind. 

WLC challenges
atheists to consider the evidence.  The truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth is waiting for those who do.
