Hi,i am a Jain who has recently discovered Atheism.I have some questions in my mind which are the reasons i do not call myself Atheist .I would hope to have a reasonable discussion.
1.What exactly is Atheism?-a disbelief in God or a lack of belief in God?
2.Are all Atheists completely against religion?
3.How do you separate historical self proclaimed Atheists like Hitler Stalin,Joseph Stalin and Mao.
4.Is exactly agnostic atheist any different from atheist?
5.If we agree that there is no god then where do our morals come from?
(if you have any questions on Jainism or Hinduism you can ask me)
