Fallacies of atheism are illogical arguments made by certain atheists about religion and God.
God[edit]
Straw man fallacy[edit]
The argument that God is created or not eternal - either because the Universe is itself created or because everything has a beginning - is a straw man. It misconstrues God as if he is a creature or creation of his.
Modal fallacy[edit]
The argument that God's omniscience is incompatible with free-will is a modal fallacy. It is not logically necessary for a woman to do something that God knows she will do.[1]
Sophistry[edit]
The argument that God's omnipotence is logically contradictory is Sophist. It misrepresents God as being non-necessary omnipotent.[2][3]
Religion[edit]
Hasty generalization[edit]
The criticism that religion is harmful to individuals or society is a hasty generalization. It takes specific examples of certain religions and generalizes the examples to all religions. The same goes for generalizing all religious people as evil or suffering from mental illness/delusion.
