Atheism is the absence or lack of belief in any deity or deities, beyond that all assumptions are unevidenced.
As for “psychic powers” could you accurately define what you mean, and present what objective evidence supports it, otherwise there is nothing to examine.
Well I can’t speak for other atheists, but I’d say for me the exact opposite is true, what I mean is atheism is the result of scepticism, not the other way around. So they may be synonymous for some, (not all) the cause and effect order is often misunderstood.
Again I have not seen any objective evidence that we can survive our own physical deaths in any meaningful way, so this claim gets the same question all claims get.
Nothing in that assertion surprises me.
Given how often the bible contradicts itself, and how often it is vague and ambiguous, why would it surprise you that adherents cherry pick which bits they like, and when? I have seen no objective evidence that any deity created anything in its own image, but there is overwhelming objective evidence that humans create deities in their own image.
I suppose the point of claiming to worship an ultimate power is somewhat negated, if it can be usurped so easily, since these shysters use the same kind of chicanery that religions do, then yes I can see why religions would feel threatened.
Well it is a free market economy, in my experience the sheeple generally don’t appreciate it when their idiotic gullibility is exposed, do you generally appreciate it when someone makes it clear publicly that you’ve been fooled or duped?
People is dumb.
Atheism is only the lack or absence of belief in any deity or deities, and I have encountered atheists who range from bat shit crazy to dumber than a bucket of hair. Christians already indulge superstition, and cherry pick subjectively what they believe, so no I don’t see this belief in any way as mutually exclusive with irrational subjective bias.
Give it a try by all means, but they already hold subjective biased beliefs in unevidenced supersitoon, and are happy to rationalise their biased cherry picking of it, so I’m not sure what you’re looking for that you don’t already know.
