I wonder why a Nigerian/African be an atheist. American, we understand most of them if not all might not have seen or believe in ghosts, spirits, spiritual charms, powerful Herbalists, the way pant stealing have been rampant just for ritual, ritualist harvesting human parts for money ritual, real miracle by religious scholars and many more. We Nigerian/African must have seen atleast one of this, on social media or real life or have Been told about it. Why will someone say NO supreme being exists, No god, godess, God. If you are a Nigerian especially and still claim to be an atheist, you are just ignorant, tired of the restrictions of religion (i.e you want to be free) or you are deceiving yourself, period.

U re d ignorant one here ..

Wikipedia definition states that Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which, in its most general form, is the belief that at least one deity exists. And deity means C. Scott Littleton defines a deity as "a being with powers greater than those of ordinary humans, but who interacts with humans, positively or negatively, in ways that carry humans to new levels of consciousness, beyond the grounded preoccupations of ordinary life" if your definition is different from this, you don't know what you are doing. And you are confuse.

Bro, this's a good observation I must say, and this's the type of thing that interest me. The answer may be complicated but I'll try as much as I can.

Once upon a time, everybody everywhere on earth processed farm produce with bare hands. Before the 18th century, even Europeans (white people) had no mechanized factory systems. But something happened in Europe in the 17th century- they dropped God as an interferer in human affairs and they embraced science as a way of life. This was a period they call the renaissance or enlightenment period. Europeans as a people began thinking SCIENCE!.

By that time, slavery was raging high as white people became greedier and greedier.

Industrial mechanization as we know it today, began when the slaves in America and Caribbeans began producing more raw materials (cotton, tobacco, sugar, etc) than could be processed by hands. Under pressure, the investors in slavery began inventing ways to process them with machines, else the produce would perish. This ushered them into what they call the industrial revolution, which began in Britain. It had to begin there because they were the greediest and had more raw materials than others.

That RENAISSANCE and INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION are a natural developmental curve that any society must complete in order to develop industrially. It was like a movement and it got spread to other European countries and the rest of the FREE world at that time. So within that period advances were made in physics, chemistry, biology and other sciences. Cars were built, trains built, airplane invented, ships built. But sadly in Africa, we were fully cut out of human development as we were slaves not even considered human. We lost that age of human development!.

What's worse? The Europeans have shutdown the mechanism for that scientific quest because they imposed a system of education they created, which have us depend on them for knowledge about the same science. There's no way for us to build that machine today because there're no groundbreaking scientific knowledge acquisition occurring in our native languages in those villages. We have been placed in a situation where we must wait for them to invent that palm wine tapping machine.

You're still blaming the white for our condition abi?
You're trying so hard to blame colonialism... Yes, it has its bad side ,,.. We still have the good side of colonialism.
But for some reason best known to you,, you choose to talk about the negative side of it thereby putting to bench the good side of it. No continue your blame game.

But the gospel truth is that if after more than six decades of political independence you(an African) is still blaming Europeans...Then I think you're one of the problem we have in this continent.
Continue the blame game bro coz is very good 4 your health.

Atheism simply means one thing...
"a lack of belief in gods".

So if you guys(theists) say that there exist a magic sky Wizard. Then you have to prove it. Simple as ABC.
If you can prove that an all powerful, all loving, all merciful being exist then quote me for the second time.
If you can't... Then do the needful.

There's nothing good about colonialism. But you're the one bringing up that topic, not me.

What you should have done is explain to me why we havent built that palm wine tapping machine.

Going by your first sentence I can see you're of those Walter Rodney students that still blame the Europeans 4 African political cum socio-economic underdevelopment even to this present age and day. Continue am not gonna argue with you.
Cheers.
