An atheist is one who does not believe in the existence of God, who rejects the Bible as a Divinely inspired revelation, and who denies the physical, moral, and spiritual evidences of a Creator endowed with supreme power, omniscience, justice, and love which fill the universe. A belief in God is one of the Landmarks of the Masonic Order. Psalms 14:1 – Job 34:9 – Psalms 10:5-11 – Psalms 53:1 – Proverbs 24:7
Biblical References
Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Job 34:9
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
Psalms 10:5-11
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Psalms 53:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Proverbs 24:7
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
