One will find the Psychological Phenomena behind joining an Atheist
Community very interesting. I will identify three main courses of entry.
One, the individual is raised without any religious background. Entering schooling, or even through familial upbringing, they gravitate towards the scientific method. Through the application of science and reason, the individual can not support the hypothesis of a God, and thus becomes Atheist.
The second category I identify as people whom have one had religion, but have decided that their religion was false. The Atheist community has many people whom once had faith. The person disbanding their former religion feels both a great deal of satisfaction and freedom in the Atheist Philosophy, and is met with a great deal of love and approval from existing members.
The third category I identify as people whom may have had some amount religious indoctrination, and may have had some education in science, but neither is significant in the development of their character. This individual may have started searching for some kind of community. They came across other people like them, the disenfranchised. Termed the black coats, the goth, the satanists, the heavy metal fans, punk rock and skaters, anybody that would associate in a circle of outcast. Because of the various positions, and dispositions encountered this individual gravitates towards Atheism as either a statement of defiance, or a default position stemming from reason.
The only security in Atheism is in numbers. Atheism is comprised of people and only people. Some very intelligent people indeed, who have been seduced by Material Science, and reject anything that can not be "proven with the five senses". Atheists, or a large percentage of them that I have encountered, enjoy mocking anybody who would look beyond the five senses and the physical world. It is only through having a large community of like minded people that the Atheist feels secure in his belief; Or at least a small community of people considered to be genius. Point being, they really require the support of continued Atheist Dogma, where ever the source comes from.
To a large degree, Atheists do not explore their subconscious mind... they are active in their conscious mind, and with this mind, repeat Atheist Mantra. Similar to how some overly religious people must repeat a religious Mantra.
Atheism is no more valid than Mormonism. It is like moving from one pole to the opposite pole in a system of belief.
Atheism is a belief system founded on faith. It has faith that the only real and proven truth is the physical universe. From that faith, it develops the belief that there is nothing beyond.
This is my opinion. Why? I was an atheist. I was raised to be an atheist, and at age 14 declared that 'God' was a myth people created. Then I went into Psychology...
