So let me ask this, does atheism preclude the existence of any unifying metaphysical "organization" (for lack) in the universe or is it only the existence of a "god" that is objectionable?
I know the case in regards to my mom and sister, they basically believe "what you see is what you get." That there is no who, what, when, where or why for their existence and likewise for the existence of the universe. It just is and they feel no compulsion or need to know more. Is this indicative of the feelings of most atheists or are there a variety of attitudes one might take and still be considered an atheist?
