Step 1
Which statement about non-religious world views is correct?
Answer
To determine the correct statement regarding non-religious worldviews, we need to define both atheism and agnosticism:
- Atheists reject the existence of God. This is true. Atheism is characterized by a lack of belief in the existence of any deity.
- Agnostics reject the existence of God. This statement is false. Agnostics hold that the existence of God is unknown or unknowable; they do not necessarily reject God but claim that one cannot know.
- Atheists accept that God created the universe. This is false because atheists do not believe in God, and thus they cannot accept that God created the universe.
- Agnostics accept that God created the universe. This is also false, as agnostics do not claim to know if God created the universe.
Based on the definitions and analysis above, the correct answer is (A): Atheists reject the existence of God.
