Monotheism concludes that God is being.
Metaphysics concludes that there are the modes of being as one, something, true, good and beautiful.
If God is being, then God is true.
But God is being, then God is true.
Or, more accurately, God is itself being, then God is itself the true.
Atheism denies theism and therefore must deny that God is being and consequently deny that God is the true.
But for no thing to be itself truth infers there is no universal cause of being, nor the universal cause of truth in creatures.
But no universal cause of being infers creatures are not efficiently caused by being (and truth).
But creatures are contingent and therefore efficiently caused.
For that which is contingent is not from itself necessary and therefore must be both brought into existence and kept in existence by an efficient cause.
As God is the universal cause of being of all creatures, God is then the universal cause of truth of creatures.
For creatures have being as an effect of God, who is being.
Then creatures have truth as an effect of God who is truth.
The existence and truth of creatures is therefore dependent upon God as the universal cause of being and truth.
But God as the universal cause of being and truth in creatures is denied by atheism.
But no universal cause of being infers creatures are not efficiently caused by being (and truth).
And to deny the existence of the efficient cause of being and truth in creatures is to deny the only sufficient reason for creatures to have being and truth.
Therefore because creatures have both being and truth, atheism cannot provide sufficient reason for the existence of any creature, nor sufficient reason for the truth of any creature.
But as all of the sciences are based upon the discovery of truth as found in creatures that have being, then atheism cannot provide sufficient reason for the veracity of any of the sciences.
By atheism denying the existence of God as the prime being and prime truth, atheism concludes that the being and truth of creatures and the sciences are all real, but cannot provide sufficient reason for the truth of creatures or science.
Atheism then has a large disconnect between its truth claims concerning the non-existence of God and the reality of the existence and truth of both creatures and the sciences.
Consequently, atheism concludes to the existence of creatures and the sciences as brute facts that have no sufficient account.
Such a claim that the existence of creatures and science as brute facts only hides the problem with atheism that atheism concludes to a mindless superstition concerning the existence of anything.
For according to atheism, contingent things exist without an efficient cause.
But for contingent creatures to exist without an efficient cause is to posit a power within creatures that does not exist within creatures. Analogously, atheism is like positing throwing salt over ones shoulder will cause good luck as an act of superstition.
But for a worldview to be superstitious is a worldview that does not provide sufficient reason for the existence of things.
But what has not sufficient account for existence has not sufficient account for truth.
Therefore atheism has no sufficient account for truth in any science, including the science of reasoning.
Therefore atheism cannot account with sufficient reason for atheism as a conclusion of reason.
Furthermore, atheism is a conclusion of reason with insufficient reason for the conclusion.
But what has an insufficient reason for a conclusion is false.
For insufficient reason is a lack of being and a lack of truth.
Therefore atheism is then always false
