Just how many hardcore atheist are in this world in percentages?

Question

Just how many hardcore atheist are in this world in percentages?

i mean people who think life, consciousness, diverse life forms etc is all just a accident and everything is purposeless?

Answer 1

first of all, atheists generally know about evolution, and that means that all life has interconnected purpose, arrived at via evolution.

second is i don't really know what a hardcore atheist is.

atheism isn't an action, it is not a belief, you don't need to try or work at being atheist, atheism is lack of hardcore in the religion department.

there are also religions that i think would fall into your category of hardcore atheism and atheists that wouldn't.

Answer 2

unless you do a consensus, i doubt we'll ever know

Answer 3

Of those who claim to be Atheist, I'd say the law of thirds apply... or roughly 33%.

1) I'd guess more but neither I nor they would 'believe' it...

Answer 4

According to this Wikipedia article : ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic... ) there are roughly about 12-15%. I was born in to a family who believes in a specific religion, but I don’t consider myself a religious believer. I certainly don’t believe in an all powerful god and that he created everything (I think that is the main idea behind Atheism, not that everything is just an accident and purposeless). There are no scientific evidence to support most of the religious claims and I don’t think there ever will be. We don't need a religion or a god to live a fair and happy life, that is my philosophy.

This is my personal opinion, and I’m sure there’ll be many who disagree with me…  And I’m sure to get many negative ratings because of this response… But anyone who want to rate my post negative just note that we live in a free world and we are entitled to our own beliefs and ideas…

Answer 5

20%

Answer 6

Greed's answer says it all ...

The question is "loaded" beyond all belief.  Back in the day, we used to call this "trolling" ... but I'll chalk it up to bad parenting and possibly a science education as might be provided by the uninformed to the uninformed in places such as rural Kansas.

Answer 7

What you just define is not an atheist...an atheist(regardless of their "hardcoreness") is someone who disbelief in god(s). Life being an accident is not the propose assertion of atheists/atheism. You're putting words in their mouths.

Plus "god did it" is not necessary to explain life, natural selection is the opposite of accident/chance/random, science clearly points out that life didn't arise purely by chance alone.
