Abstract

This essay seeks to define the horizon from which three questions are answered: can one live without religion? Does God exist? What is spirituality for atheists? Without the intention of taking a deep approach, I present some notes more on theological focus, taking as reference the book entitled of André Comte-Sponville, The Spirit of Atheism. Situated in this horizon, atheism is not reduced to the simple denial of God's existence.

Keywords: Existence of God. Atheism. Spirituality.
