What is the philosophical argument for atheism?
There are many philosophical arguments for atheism. One common argument is that the images of gods presented by the major religions are self-contradictory and, therefore, logically impossible. Another argument is that so far no one has presented a convincing argument for the existence of a god. There are a number of books that present philosophical arguments for atheism, such as Michael Martins? “Atheism: A Philosophical Justification?” and George H. Smith?s “Atheism: The Case Against God?”. There are, of course, also people who dont have any logical arguments supporting their atheism. For some its simply the most comfortable and sensible assumption.
