	Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some weak atheists are without any opinion regarding the existence of deities, either because of a lack of thought on the matter, a lack of interest in the matter (see apatheism), or a belief that the arguments and evidence provided by both theists and strong atheists are equally unpersuasive.
		Some weak atheists feel that theism and strong atheism are equally untenable, on the grounds that faith is required both to assert and to deny the existence of deities, and as such both theism and strong atheism have the burden of proof placed on them to prove that a god does or doesn't exist.
		Atheists almost uniformly reject this view and assert that they are as motivated towards moral behavior as anyone, citing a range of non-theistic sources of moral behavior, including: their upbringing; natural empathy, compassion and a human concern for others; respect for order, society, and law; and a desire for a good reputation and self-esteem.

		Some strong atheists counter that for most mainstream concepts of a god this is a straw man fallacy, since strong atheism is based on a priori, rather than a posteriori arguments.
		Other strong atheists, who rely on evidential grounds, simply maintain that the case for the nonexistence of gods is supported by more evidence than the case for the existence of gods, and that there is, in principle, nothing special about negatives that makes them impossible to prove [4] (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jeff_lowder/ipnegep.html) [5] (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/theory.html) [6] (http://www.discord.org/~lippard/debiak.html).
		Karl Marx, an atheist, wrote that religion is the "opiate of the masses," which is often interpreted to mean that it exists in order to blind people to the true state of affairs in a society, and thus make them more amenable to social control and exploitation.

		Most atheists vehemently deny the charge that they are amoral and consider that the moral code of Secular humanism is superior to codes allowing the torture or execution of people who believe differently from what the authorities want.

		The band is planning another release but this CD showcases an aggressive thrash metal with influences ranging from Slayer to Atheist.
		The band does veer to the technical occasionally (and would have been more so if the drums weren't muffled), but overall this is a speedy metal to which it is fun to bang heads and listen.
		Agony's Lament is a classy slab of molten thrash metal with elements from At The Gates, Hexx and early Atheist.

	Metal Rules!!: Interview with Kelly Shaefer of Atheist & Neurotica
		Atheist are one of the more influential yet under-rated technical death metal bands of the early 90's.
		The vocalist for Atheist, Kelly Shaefer, recently spoke with with us at length concerning Atheist and to a lesser degree about his new band Neurotica which was formed in 1994 as a (then) side-project.
		All the bands made fun of us too man, well not all of them but a lot of the real hardcore death metal bands were like "what the fuck?!" The shit would just fly right over their head.

	Atheist - Death Metal
		Using a heavy basis of fusion jazz, Atheist twist high-speed progressive death metal riffs into a series of motifs which as a whole express a melody structurally as a series of themes centrally referent by degree of consonance of modal compatibility with an overall melody.
		The consequence of this exploratory and ambitious method is a wealth of potential notes and harmonies within which to play, allowing the alacritous expression of a fluid lead guitar style awake to fifty years of blues, jazz, rock and metal yet still alive on its own.
		Trying too hard to mix mainstream-recognizable progressive jazz into their metal, Atheist make an album that is a mix between intelligently shredding metal and something like Phish, complete with the quirky randomness and other humorous self-referentiality that makes for excellent jazz but tragically poor metal.

		The first incarnation of the band came out under the name of OBLIVION in 1984 and was formed in Sarasota by Kelly Shaefer as guitarist and a drummer named Mark who was soon replaced by Steve Flynn who shared Kelly's musical tastes.
		It would be criminal to not mention that the band entered the Morrisound Studios again in August 1990 to record a pre production tape for their second album featuring six brand new tunes where Roger can be heard at its best in my opinion.
		Kelly concentrated on a band he had joined named NEUROTICA, a Rock orientated band, Steve was back to the college, Rand was doing nothing and Darren had joined CYNIC for the recording of their album but it didn't work with him.

		Easily the most accessible of Atheist's three albums, 1993's Elements was recorded under duress from the band's record company, which forced them back into the studio after their initial breakup in order to fulfill their contractual obligations.
		But remarkably, the group rose to the challenge, delivering another highly accomplished set that illustrated both a natural evolution of their sound and served as a worthy final chapter to their all-too-brief and very troubled trajectory.
		Shedding most of the harsh dynamics of efforts past, Elements was the first Atheist LP to welcome melody with open arms, resulting in a far more immediate and organic listening experience throughout.

		Flynn was a founding member of the now "Legendary" prog metal pioneers "Atheist", and parted ways with the band in 1992, but it wasn’t until December of 2004 that Flynn decided he wanted to get back into playing seriously, and began searching for musicians in Atlanta.
		Holding true to their common death-metal roots, the band wanted somebody that could bring brutally heavy vocals to the table yet mix it with a touch of tone and originality.
		The bands hard work and Shaefer’s insight proved to mesh well and the result is “Splinters of Change,” the band’s first, 5-song demo.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Atheist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Atheist were one of the mainstays of the Florida death metal scene of the late eighties, and by the time of their third album they had evolved into what they themselves term "death/jazz" (somewhat similar in style to Cynic, if less fusion-based).
		Elements in particular won the band much acclaim and they seemed ready to jump to the next level, but internal strife led to their breakup in the mid-nineties, with Kelly Schaefer eventually forming the more rock-oriented band Neurotica (link below).
		Shaefer and fellow guitarist Rand Burkey had seriously considered reforming the band in 2001, but it now appears that outside commitments (Neurotica a main one) will prevent this for the foreseeable future.

		Thank you Atheist and Relapse for reissuing these albums so that more people can grow to appreciate just how influential this band really was.
		Atheist often seem to be considered the least of the 3, but listening to this album, they predict modern musical trends better than either of those bands.
