The following articles document apologetic issues and feature detailed rebuttals to common apologetics in various media. The case for the non-existence of God:


* The [[argument from ignorance]], which claims that a proposition is true because it has not been shown to be false, is perhaps the most common [[logical fallacy]] in religious apologetics.
* [[Argument from nonbelief]]: if God existed, we would expect him to communicate directly
* A [[circular argument]] is where a premise relies of the conclusion of the argument being true. This is common in [[presuppositional apologetics]].
* [[God of the shrinking gaps]]: things that were previously attributed to God have since been explained by naturalism
* Apologists often assume a questionable premise or a standard of evidence that is so low that, if applied consistently, would point to many contradictory conclusions. This is called a [[broken compass argument]].
* [[Argument from inconsistent revelations]]: if God existed, we would expect general agreement on religion
* [[Observations fit abiogenesis better than a designer God]]: abiogenesis requires a vast universe, God does not.
* The [[problem of evil]]: why does God allow bad things to happen?

Religions Wiki is intended to provide information on apologetics and counter-apologetics. We'll be collecting common arguments and providing responses, information and resources to help counter the glut of misinformation and poor arguments which masquerade as evidence for religious claims.

The complexity of issues surrounding religion ensures that any proper assessment requires us to delve into a number of philosophical, historical and sociological topics. Our ultimate goal is to provide a robust and definitive resource for:

  • atheists seeking responses to common apologetic arguments
  • theists who are questioning the efficacy of their beliefs
  • apologists who feel that their "pet" argument is above reproach
  • individuals of any philosophical ideal who have an interest in religious studies
