Question
I have a school assignment to interview an Atheist and get their worldview on a few questions.  If you could answer the following questions would be a tremendous help to me.

Name:

Age:

Your Job:

Where are you from?

What are your answers to the following questions?

1.   What do you consider the main influence on your worldview, and how did you get it?

2.   What is prime reality?

3.   What is the nature of external reality?

4.   What is a human being?

5.   What happens to a person at death?

6.   How do we know what is right and wrong?

7.   Why is it possible to know anything at all?

8.   What is the meaning of human history?

9.   What is the best thing about how your worldview impacts your daily life?

10.   In your view, what is responsible for the existence of the universe?  Where did the world come from?  How did it come into being?

11.   If you could say anything you want about what you perceive to be the Christian community, what would you say?  What are your problems with the Christian view of    reality?  What do you like/appreciate about Christians?  What do you not like or appreciate?  

Answer
Hello Jennifer,
  Sorry for the rejection response to your question but I generally use this format to help other Atheists with whatever problems or prejudices that they may be facing. I know that when I first became an Atheists there was never a shortage of either. Regardless, I would be glad to help if you have a few specific questions that you would like to ask.

P.S. Sorry, but "few" and "specific" really are the keywords here. I do try to avoid the homework questions. I usually find that they are amazingly time consuming and usually slanted by either the agenda of the teacher or the student.

I can answer just about any question that you may have about Atheism itself, dealing with being an Atheist in a religous world, or theological, religion based questions concerning atheism.

Experience

I became an Atheist at the age of 15 and have remained so for the past 21 years. At that time I was the only Atheist that I had ever met so I spent the next several years researching most types of religion as well as the concept itself. I am not here to convert or argue, but just to help you find the path that is right for you.
