A Critical Theory: What Do Atheists Know?

What do Atheists Know? The HARD Questions. Do Atheists know something that others do not? Stephens was a typical Atheist for 40 years, until he investigated on-line Atheists looking for some stimulating conversation. What he found surprised and disappointed him. He decided to start his own blog in 2007, atheism-analyzed.blogspot.com, and he posted to it daily for 11 years until the site host banned him from his own access to his own blog. The site is still there although it is halted. There are still the many conversations with Atheists as well as other features including a logic class series and a series of posts which found their way into this book.

Stephens started a private collection of Atheist articles and his own observations of major Atheist positions. This resultant book serves as a critical theory of Atheism, how a person comes to Atheism, why a person remains an Atheist, and some of the major Atheists who have made a mark both for and against the universe of Atheism. Plus he examines what it is that Atheists know that gives them their firm conviction and devotion to the Atheist beliefs and worldviews. There is no reference to any religion in this book; only the tenets of Atheism are examined. And the question, “what do Atheists know” is also settled.

As a retired R&D engineer, Stephens wrote his first book, Evolution Tested. This is his second book. He has always been a supporter of the classic empiricism of Bacon, Locke and Popper. As a 40 year Atheist he came to apply empiricism to each subject of these two books.
