The general questions of whether God exists and why there is suffering. These pages are not a description of atheism.

These pages are the questions anyone asks about God. They are not a description of what atheists believe. That description is What do atheists believe?. The difference between an atheist and an agnostic is on the agnosticism shelf.

Does God exist? is the Christian claim that everything which exists depends on God, with Romans 1:19–201:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Romans 1:19–20 · King James Version, Acts 17:24–2817:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.Acts 17:24–28 · King James Version, and Psalm 19:1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.Psalms 19:1 · King James Version.

The problem of evil is the protest Scripture already records, and the Christian answer from the cross and the resurrection. What atheists argue from suffering is What do atheists argue against God?.

Christians confess that this God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that Jesus is God. That confession is the Trinity and the deity of Christ.
