The Doctrine of Unbelief
Belief is the unchallengeable certainty that something exists or is “true”. Disbelief is the unchallengeable certainty that something does NOT exist or is NOT true. Unbelief is simply not being certain, the position of healthy skepticism, belief in the possibilities of both existence and non- existence, truth and falsehood. The unbeliever is unlike the strong atheist in that she does not believe in the non-existence of deities. The unbeliever differs from the strong agnostic in they he does not believe that the existence/non-existence of deities cannot be proven.
The Unbelievers are similar to the weak agnostics and weak atheists in their neutrality on the issue of existence or non-existence for the gods, but differ in that they actively seek those answers. The Unbeliever encourages the pursuit of truth – indeed the journey is more important than the goal. He or she does not sit around waiting for the answers to reveal themselves, although sometimes it is in idle states of thought or meditation that we find some of those answers. This pursuit, however, we recognize as conceivably endless, as are our pursuits of self-improvement, but an out of sight goal does not discourage the attempt.
