World view: Atheism
Atheism is the believe that there is no God in the world (as
opposed to pantheism, and
Panentheism), nor that there
is any God beyond the world (as opposed to Deism, and Theism).
The Atheism Web
gives an introduction to Atheism, but note that this introduction is
supposing a Theistic reader, and is biased as such.
