  Atheistic Education
Atheistic parents will be pleased that such an attractive book conveying the essentials of evolution simply and accurately to young readers is available.
Yet, many atheistic arguments-- for example, the argument from evil and arguments that attempt to show that the concept of God is inconsistent-- do precisely this.[4] In addition, Larue only considers one modern philosophical atheist in his book: Bertrand Russell.
Atheistic education takes place in a variety of contexts--in homes, nonreligious Sunday schools, atheistic organizations--and its impact will be a function of this total context.

 CA602: Evolution and atheism
Evolution is no more atheistic than biochemistry, farming, engineering, plumbing, art, law, and so forth.
For example, young-earth creationists reject the religious interpretation that the universe is more than 10,000 years old (Sarfati 2004), and design theorists reject the idea that God has guided evolution (Dembski 1996).
For people whose beliefs about God differ from those of a creationist, that creationism might just as well be atheistic.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Atheism
Deor., I, 23), Democritus and Epicurus were styled in the same sense impious (without respect for the gods) on account of their trend of their new atomistic philosophy.
In this sense too, the early Christians were known to the pagans as atheists, because they denied the heathen gods; while, from time to time, various religious and philisophical systems have, for similar reasons, been deemed atheistic.
But even the last named admits that there may be a God, though so limited and so foreign to the deity of theists that his admission can hardly remove the system from the first category of theoretic atheism.

 Pope Pius XI 19 March 1937 Atheistic Communism
This all too imminent danger, Venerable Brethren, as you have already surmised, is bolshevistic and atheistic Communism, which aims at upsetting the social order and at undermining the very foundations of Christian civilization.

In his atheistic absolutism, Harris is more like his opposition than he realizes.

 Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using this definition of atheism, "implicit atheism", an absence of theism without the conscious rejection of it, may not be regarded as atheistic at all, and the umbrella term non-theism may be used in its place.

 Difference between "atheistic evolution" and "christian evolution?" - Page 5 - Catholic Answers ...
Remember, the universe has no purpose by by the atheistic view, all meaning is subjective, and the foundations of rationality are thin if they exist at all.
You can't really say that the earth was conceived, but did not exist because it never says after "let there be light" the point that it was created.
Which is the reason I ultimately side with the theists: Because atheism, taken to its logical conclusion, is irrational both by nature (The nature it admits to has no meaning) and irrational (the way serious, 'hard' atheists act, defies their own beliefs).

Education in these naturalistic philosophies, and the pervasive teaching of evolution is almost certainly the principal influence affecting the rise of atheism in our scientific community.
Evolution is the champion theory of secular humanism, and a scientific community now totally under the control of an atheistic majority.

Maybe there were acts of special creation of orders and species never before seen, consistent with the overall nature of Genesis, although I never address the issue of six days vs. millions of years in my site.
