What is atheism?
Atheism is basically a lack of a belief in a god. Just as you may not believe in fairies, elves of even other gods, an atheist feels the same about all possible gods.
What the Bible says...
Yes, I have heard the excuse that that was the Old Testament. But is it not the same god in the New Testament who performed all the acts of the Old Testament? Also, Jesus says in Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." And if the Old Testament is no longer in effect, what about the 10 Commandments? Are they not in the Old Testament. The New Testament says that you must kiss other men upon greeting, not pray in front of other people, kill homosexuals and condone slavery. Why not follow these rules of the New Testament?
What the Old Testament says...
"And Moses said to them: “Have you kept all the women alive? Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately."

What the New Testament says...
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
