Believer

A believer is a person of blind faith. This is a generic term that references members of all faith based religions. It includes Christians, Muslims, Jews, all of them. The term Believer refers to people who believe in something without a scientific or logical basis. They accept doctrine in an environment where questioning and scrutiny are either prohibited or discouraged. Someone who accepts information based on faith rather than facts and reason.

Newsflash

The God who Wasn't There is a really great film that I highly recommend. I saw an early screening of it at Stanford and I loved it. It goes into the early history of Christianity to determine if the character Jesus ever actually existed. I was surprised to find that much of the Jesus story was already in fiction for hundreds of years before Jesus was supposedly born. This is a documentary of how the Jesus myth was created and how little today's Christians know about the history of their own religion. Here's a really great Trailer for the movie.

Most Atheists like myself have generally believed that the story of Jesus was at least based on some real events, some popular preacher that may have really existed and was later turned into a supernatural figure by his followers. But it is becoming clear to me that Jesus is total fiction and the stories are adapted from the fiction of the time. I recommend this film to everyone. It gives you a LOT to think about.
