- empirical atheism = nonempirical atheism: Atheism based only on the lack of empirical methodologal proof (only methodological empiricism (Wikipedia redirects to empiricism, but not all empiricisms = empirical justification is scientifically methodological): scientific observation and scientific experiments are safe for conclusions [hallucination isn't for example]).
Not all atheists are empirical atheists. Some accept axiomatic foundations (see: axiomatic system, axiomatization of physics, relation between mathematics and physics [physics needs a program-like axiomatization; infinite logical systems are possible, not only mathematics], see also: constructor theory). Some atheists accept the proof by contradiction, etc.
see: methods of proof (see academic documents on all possible methods of proof).
Not all methods of proof are formal. But those who have rigorous logical foundations are used by atheists who debunk the personhooded self-axiomatization, teleology and religious cosmogony. Logical monism is wrong (see: experimental logical foundations [alternative logical foundations don't have to be useful, experimental axiomatic systems, etc.]. Pluralistic physicalism has many arguments: separation of personhood per brain, Everettism = many-worlds interpretation, logical, axiomatic and cosmological pluralism, etc.
Not all atheists have the exact same views. Atheist popularizers like many new atheists, attack religion with merged forces but usually avoid to elaborate on the different atheistic movements.
Non-mainstream views (according to science)
[edit]Some thinkers claim that even formal (mathematical) proofs and others that supernatural phenomena are empirical phenomena (empiricism). This isn't the mainstream view in science. Still methodological empiricism (scientific experiment and scientific observation) are a specific category.
