There are many callings to atheism , with no particular common denominator. Significant are those that suggest non-belief is a rejection of belief partly because of negative feeling toward organized religion, or a matter of life's convenience. There are few that actually have a well formed non-belief in a deity. This may be the case because ultimately non-belief in a deity is so similar to belief in a deity that they are virtually indistinguishable. The subject at hand is teleology , doctrines explaining phenomena by their ends or purposes. A great quote for all atheists and all is the following. Fundamental quote: "Theology is but the ignorance of natural causes reduced to a system."--Baron d'Holbach, Common Sense (1772) Basically, what this says is I don't believe because it doesn't make sense to me. The root of this is that if something is knowable, I can know it - cause I'm smart. :) Maybe not. The first part or our posting on atheisms, see
