Atheism really isn’t neutral about God, Agnosticism is. While atheists typically

profess only to not believe in God, it is my experience that they go one step further and

hate God as well as people who believe in God. Thus, as a Theist, I find Atheism to be

an unattractive position. But, there is an alternative, what I call Aatheism.

I invite all Atheists to consider becoming Aatheists instead. Aatheists typically

follow the philosopher and metaphysician Plato as their guide. Instead of believing in

God, an Aatheist believes in the Good, that is, the Individual Good, following individual

autonomy, rational self-interest, self-actualization, and self-transcendence. Aatheists

also believe in the immortality of the Soul because of the Myth of Ur, found in Plato’s

Republic.

Finally, more than anything else, Aatheists believe in the Metaphysical Quiddity of

Being. Being is an Unrestricted Pure Act of Understanding, also known as Form of

Form. For many, Being replaces God. Being is impersonal not personal. Being is

Universal. Being can be Intuited and Felt spiritually. For the Atheist, then, making to

move to Aatheism might be an attractive alternative.
