A perfect way to practice and understand Atheism is to know what's the difference between Science vs Philosophy.

The distinction is artificial. Belief in and the use of science is, in and of itself, a philosophy. It is based on distinct ontology, epistomology, and axiology.

Thanx for the chart.

Consider how science fiction, lacking hypotheses and repeatable testing, endangers science.

Does anything similarly endanger philosophy?

What is there about atheism to "practice"?

Hmm, I meant Perform or Action. IMO, atheism isn't a static thing like religion. we have to remember by learning more every day about why and what makes atheism the true way. it's an endless process like the science itself.

Experience might inform @skado.

@TheMiddleWay , Well, we need evidence to prove when we claim the existence/nonexistence of something. What's the Alternative for the science to find the evidence?
Atheism without science is Empty as well as religion itself.

@TheMiddleWay

“… the core UNDERSTANDING of science by a layperson atheist is no better than that of a layperson theist.”

THIS !

There is only a token difference between atheism and theism (both equally founded on religious literalism) and absolutely zero difference between atheists and theists. Neither know squat about their holy texts (on average - individuals vary).

@yvilletom
What kind of experience?

@TheMiddleWay , Today Science is totally different from when it was a branch of philosophy. what makes science Alive is it can fix and repair itself beyond personal thoughts. but philosophy is up to personal logic and thoughts, and this's why there're "object" and "subject" terms. without science, the only thing left is the philosophy and you can argue again another argument forever due to lack of scale!
about the Physical realm! true, of course, science is the only way. but do you know anything out of the Physical realm!? this's exactly the direct relation between science and Atheism.

@TheMiddleWay hmmm, Nope, religion defined terms and phenomenons with clear specifications. science can reject that claim with clear evidence as it can reject itself. from your perspective, existence possibility of Flying Spaghetti Monster and Unicorn stands there too. who knows ?!

@TheMiddleWay , Well, sounds like a Fallacy! if something isn't defined how does it exist in the first place ?!
Pls. define and explain what's " Existence "!
after all, why do we have to consider something which is non-exist and Useless in our world ?! and at the same time try to explain our world with that!!!
see, this's the Big Hole and absolute Flaw of philosophy!

@TheMiddleWay , Existence without definition before evaluation is just a Hypothesis!? isn't it?
Tolkien's Middle Earth is just fictional! right?
in philosophy, you can do whatever with your assumptions but it doesn't make any fact, any truth!
Well, Obviously we are not talking about ppl hobbies!
but about religion, sounds like we are living in 2 different worlds! In mine, it ruined everything. beyond just a story, even today it's fighting against science.
