Atheistic worldview Andrej Tihomirow

Atheistic worldview (Greek: "denial of god") is a system of scientifically based views that rejects belief in the supernatural. "... Atheism is the negation of god and affirms human existence precisely through this negation..." (Marx). To be an atheist means not to recognize any religion, to struggle against it, freeing man from his sense of dependence on forces foreign to him. The degree of development of atheistic worldview is determined by the level of material production and social relations, depends on the socio-political nature of society; its theoretical basis is materialism and science. The ideological struggle of atheistic ideology against religion in an antagonistic society reflects the struggle of progressive forces against the world oligarchy, which in every way supports any form of illusion. Atheism as a side of materialistic worldview arose in ancient society. Any religion is beneficial to the ruling exploiting classes because it leads them into a world of illusion, mysticism and self-deception.
