Etymology

The term 'atheist' originated from the Greek word 'atheos', meaning 'without god'. In ancient times, atheists were often persecuted for their beliefs, as they did not conform to the dominant religious ideologies. Over the centuries, atheism has evolved into a recognized philosophical position, challenging traditional notions of deity and belief. Modern atheism is characterized by a focus on reason, evidence, and skepticism in the absence of supernatural or divine explanations.
