State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Contested deletion[edit]

This redirect should not be speedy deleted as an implausible typo or misnomer because it is an Arabic term for Atheist. The term 'Mulhid' means Atheist in Arabic. I will add in some information about the term 'Mulhid'. I left it redirected to the wikipedia page 'Atheism' for now, just until I add some information about the term 'Mulhid'. Please don't delete this page. Thanks. --Zebra04 (talk) 02:08, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have added some information regarding the term 'Mulhid'. I hope you will be satisfied. Reply if you have any questions regarding this page or let me know if I need to add anything. Take care. --Zebra04 (talk) 02:38, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

الإلحاد comes from the root ل-ح-د. It comes from the form IV (أفعل) verb ألحد (alHada) which means "deviating from the correct path" or "becoming a heretic," according to the dictionary. Although I cannot give an answer from a native standpoint, my feeling is that this is not a neutral term, but rather has negative associations. A person adhering to الإلحاد is a ملحد (mulHid) -- one deviating from the correct path. http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/atheism-and-agnosticism.1388216/

"for many Saudis, atheism – mulHad in Arabic – is far more disturbing than believing in a different religion. Atheism, as argued by many clerics in Saudi Arabia, leads to dissolute lives, carnal pursuits, immoral behaviours, and ultimately, eternal damnation. Atheists are portrayed in Saudi official media as an existential and corruptive threat to society." http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/atheism-and-agnosticism.1388216/ --79.251.127.192 (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Theology[edit]

Al-kufr wal ilḥād: kufr or unbelief excludes the unbeliever from the community of believers. Ilḥād: deviating from the true religion; also atheism or godlessness. https://books.google.de/books?id=sC2afF7Q_6MC&printsec=frontcover&hl=de#v=onepage&q&f=false --79.251.127.192 (talk) 16:57, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
