Nonbeliever

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A Nonbeliever is a person who questions religious authority, but is not necessarily anti-religious. Nonbelievers tend to have logic-seeking personalities and are unable to believe in anything that is not supported by evidence. Nonbelievers say that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or other dogmas.

Socrates was one of the first nonbelievers of whom we have records; he questioned the legitimacy of the beliefs of his time in the existence of the various gods.
