Talk:Lists of atheists

Why this list without lists for other beliefs regarding deity? This list is weird concept.
Finding this list is flabbergasting! How about lists of christians by denomination or sect, a list of muslims by denomination or sect, etc.? This list really is making me question my ongoing financial support for Wikipedia. Ivan-Soto (talk) 14:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC) Ivan Soto Ivan-Soto (talk) 14:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * What is your question about Lists of Christians? Or Lists of Muslims? Dougweller (talk) 15:19, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * See also the large religion section in Lists of people by belief. This list is far from anomalous. Not every article on Wikipedia needs to be of interest to every reader--even those that contribute money to the project. Nick Graves (talk) 22:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

What is this?
Is this some kind of death list that is being maintained by christian extremists? I'm wondering at this point if the FBI needs to be made aware. American christians extremists, especially here in The Christian Republic of Texastan are all over the internet saying they have plans for a genocidal civil war in America, non-believers are leading their target list everywhere. This makes the question relevant. 69.49.217.158 (talk) 08:29, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infoboxes of individuals that have no religion.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 18:46, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

What is the distinction being drawn here? ''Atheism is, in a broad sense, the lack of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. ''

I cannot parse that out to find a difference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.240.226 (talk) 16:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Several faux godless listed.
I just spent a few days researching all names listed. A significant number of people listed as Atheists were either never atheists or were so only at one point in their lives. Grasping for straws here. Shaw and Shelley both had their own brand of belief in a sort of Deity. It's as if anyone who rejects a jewish, muslim, or chistian god is called an atheist. Pathetic. 2601:155:8300:6B20:C1C0:8465:4FF0:F75 (talk) 02:34, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
