What Is Atheism, a Theology, Philosophy, or Science?
Atheism is a strange ‘ism’ because it does not have a natural home in the minds of all people. But, it does find a home in the minds of about 15% of the people in the USA. Why does 15% of the US population choose to be atheists? Let me investigate this question.
As a theology, atheism is the contrary of the theory of God. As a theology, 15% of the US citizens thus reject God. As a philosophy, atheism can coexist with the theory of God. Sam Harris, a well-known writer in favor of atheism, believes that these two contraries can coexist. But, can the theory of God coexist with atheism? Finally, as a science, which is a truth seeking field of thought, atheism would become a proven truth and the theory of God must thus be rejected. Let me now look at new facts.
The theory of God was incorporated in the USA by the founders in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution. In the Declaration, the theory of God was incorporated "directly’ with words such as God and Creator and two laws, the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God. In the Constitution, the theory of God was incorporated "indirectly," in the Preamble’s statement ‘... in Order to form a more perfect Union, ...; This statement requires a ‘perfect thing’ to measure the words ‘more perfect Union.’ God is that perfect thing.
In the founding documents, we thus find that atheism can be practiced, but not in the USA. Nor can atheism be practiced in the USA until atheism is proven to be a science. Clearly, the USA was viewed as a nation under God by the founders. This kind of nation would exist until God is proven to be false.

There are new facts that support the founders. These facts are: (1) a scientific proof of God has emerged in the USA by me and (2) a scientific proof of God has also been found by the Muslims. These facts indicate that atheism is not merely a strange ‘ism.’ It is also false. Hopefully, the theists and atheists can decide to unify and shake hands as the pic suggests.
