The Problem of the Rationalism of Atheism and the Implied Superstitious Irrationality of Atheism.

Atheism denies the existence of God and any divine revelation. Atheism then must deny any truth value to faith and reduce any known truth to that of reason. In short, atheism assumes a rationalist worldview. Atheism presupposes that reason is the normative means by which men come to know the nature of the universe. 

Yet rationalism infers the falsity of anything known through irrational means, such as superstition. For superstition infers the superstitious man believes there is a power in a thing to cause an effect when in fact the power does not exist in the thing. For example, a man may believe the door opens when a man claps his hands. Yet such a belief is superstitious, and therefore irrational, for the clapping of hands does not have the power to cause the door to open.

Then if atheism is superstitious, then atheism is both a rationalist and an irrationalist worldview. But atheism is superstitious, for atheism denies the existence of God, which is being and the universal cause of all being. When the universal cause of being is removed, then the existence of no creature can be properly accounted for and every creature exists as having a power to be from itself, which creatures do not have.

Furthermore, atheism denies the existence of any creator God, which concludes to the self-creation of the universe, along with the false principle of more from less to account for the development of the universe. Both the self-creation and self-development of the universe are reducible to more from less, and something from nothing. And something from nothing is a superstition that nothing, as a negation of being is, in fact, a cause of being.

So in short, atheism implies at least the following superstitions -

1) All creatures exist without any sufficient reason to account for the being of any creature.

2) The universe began as from a negation of being acting as a cause.

3) The universe developed as from a negation of being acting as a cause, according to more from less.

The above three superstitions implied within atheism infer atheists assume atheism is a rationalist position, when in fact atheism is a mindless superstition. Therefore the atheism of the enlightenment and post-enlightenment philosophy is false and those who promote such a worldview are in fact sophists parading as philosophers.
