What is atheism?

For ages now, atheism means to stand up against God and hate and abuse him. A atheist is believed to be one who doesn't believe in super powers. I cross referenced these two terms in the dictionary and came with "The doctrine or belief that there is no God.A lack of belief in the existence of God or gods." and "Someone who denies the existence of god." But i would like to see atheism in a different perspective. To me, Atheism means to love fellow Humans over God.

Well, you may ask this question, "What's the big difference man? In both the cases, God is given no importance!" I partly agree with you. In both the cases god is given less importance. But in the second one Men are given importance. I would like to classify theism and atheism, not based on faith in God, but based on the faith in men.

I see no point in being an Atheist, when you don't love your fellow citizens, when you don't treat them as friends, when you don't take part in their sadness and happiness, when you don't feel like wiping off the tears from the under-privileged, when you don't care for the physically, mentally, socially, economically challenged people, when you don't understand that hatred and blood shed will never bring peace, when you don't understand that your neighbour has only one life to live, as you do, when you don't empathize, when you don't respect a certain class of people, when you don't treat humans as HUMANS.

To all the atheists out there, hating God all your life will take you nowhere, because you waste your life hating someone,whom you believe do not exist.

To all the theists out there, when you can place your faith on an Invisible man, whom you can't feel or hear, why can't you place it on some one standing next to you.

Don't hate God,
He isn't anywhere!
Love all men,
They are everywhere!
