Objectivist Atheology

Website

My name is Anton Thorn.  Welcome to my website. At this site, you will learn about atheology from an Objectivist approach.

Atheology is the study of god-belief claims from a critical perspective. Alternately, theology can loosely be defined as the development and/or endorsement of god-belief claims. Some theological systems are quite rudimentary, but more and more today theologians are incorporating  extremely sophisticated philosophical machinery in their doctrinal assertions and rhetorical defenses.

What is needed to combat the deterioration of philosophy in the hands of mystics and supernaturalists is a system of rational philosophy. Objectivism, the Philosophy of Reason, as informed by Ayn Rand, is the antidote to the irrationalism of religion and god-belief, the only antidote one will ever need.

Atheology can be treated in several ways: It can assume as its task the refutation of theistic arguments; it can offer arguments in favor of atheism (which essentially argues for a negative, not for a positive); or, it can do both of these while offering a rational alternative in place of religious god-belief at the same time.

My atheology takes this third approach: By applying the principles of Objectivism, the Philosophy of Reason, I have reviewed god-belief claims and exposed their root errors. I have been working on this project for several years now, and with this website, I am proud to announce my discoveries and verdicts to the world.
