Wow! Please don’t lump atheists in with Anti-theist.
Being an Anti-theist I don’t want to be associated with the average, "I don’t believe in god and just want to live my life, leave me alone!" atheists. They are weak in their convictions, or to be more realistic, they just don’t have any convictions... I DO!
I wouldn’t call them evil either. Most "atheists" just don’t believe in god. They don’t care that you do and most of them have a moral compass on par with or even far surpassing that of your average theist. After all, a theist can say sorry to god and ask for forgiveness and get some personal elation from the admission. A non-theist (atheist or anti-theist) does not have that luxury. You see, we believe we are accountable to ourselves...(WOW! What a novel concept, self-accountability)
On the other hand, an anti-theist believes that theism is foolish and detrimental to human development. You know, like permitting a child to believe that there is fat man driving a sleigh through the air bringing presents to good boys a girls (Santa Claus) beyond a certain age. Oh sure, up until thy are six or eight it's just fun and games. But what if a parent deliberately tried to keep their child believing in Santa until they were 12? Or maybe 16? Wouldn't that be irresponsible of the parent. (and really stupid of the kid!) After all, if you keep someone believing that men can fly using reindeer and use magic and employ elves, who knows what other silly and fanciful things they will believe in next. Who knows, they may even start to believe that people can walk on water, come back to life from the grave, or magically turn water into wine. LMAO! Please! It's time humanity gave up their security blanket and started to understand the REAL world. We care if you believe in something that doesn’t exist because we have to put up with your incessant crying about how non-Christians are ruing everything. We are sick of hearing how schools should teach something that is entirely implausible (creationism) over truth. (evolution) We are sick of people starting wars and persecuting people because of religious beliefs that are all based on nonsense and lies. Hell, we may as well start a war between those that prefer Tolkien over C. S. Lewis.
Now, to address you comment about being "in a Religion and Spirituality section..." Some of us use Yahoo! Answers to spread the truth, just as there are millions of theists (Christians) posting all over the internet in designated atheist, anti-theist and other non-Christian message boards. Not only that, but I picked up a book on non- Christian beliefs and in it was a tract describing how all non-Christian beliefs lead to hell. You know, in the state I was in at the time, that was actually illegal since the book was in a public library. But you Christian don’t let little things like the law or separation of Church and state get in your way, do you?
You see here on Yahoo, some of us, like me just now, did a search for questions with the word "atheism" in them. Yours was one of the ones to show up. As a result, here is my response. If you don't want me to response, then you have to hide your questions better. After all, this IS a 'PUBLIC' forum now isn’t it. I can guarantee you if I post a questions specifically to and about atheists and even request that ONLY atheists reply, I'm going to get several "GOD" responses. Even when I use to use the specific Atheist Yahoo message boards to have discussions we would get Christians preaching and 'evangelizing' to me. So deal with it.
You asked, "Who defines what is Evil and Good?"
The most basic, and ultimately incorrect, answer would be society.
The truth is each and every individual defined it for themselves. To one extent or another anyway. You see, most theists usually base right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong on a preexisting set of rules or guidelines. People raised in Christian homes tend to accept Christian doctrine and moral views. The same is true of Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. While atheists tend to adopt their views of write and wrong from cultural sources, such as the law, or from parents, peers and mentors.
Now, some of us actually take an active interest in studying morality and take an active interest in what is good and evil. As a result we ask the oh so un-Christian of words, "Why?" Why is this thing good or evil? As a result we actual create (or discover) our own morality based on reality, truth and logic as opposed to fiction, lies and dogma.
So to your point, generally speaking, Christians do not define good and evil, they blindly accept the lies they have been fed. Atheists on the other hand absolutely define what as good and evil.
