Abstract
Irreligiousness, secularism, the separation of religion from politics, the separation of religion from science, and finally the separation of religion from life all convey the same message: we hate religion. Apart from the fact that Irreligiousness has a long history, it is now considered a justified belief in contemporary societies. Instead of discussing the epistemology and pathology of religion, let us examine the beliefs of irreligious people epistemologically; What are irreligious justifications? Why is irreligiousness so popular in today's society? Are atheistic beliefs justified? As the popularity of irreligiousness in societies is growing, it is possible that the epistemological analysis of irreligious beliefs will pave the way for religious knowledge. If ignorance of religion leads to irreligious statements, then proving the inaccuracy of these statements is a window into the awareness of religious ignorance. Hatred of religion can be caused by such things as ignorance of religion, mixing some superstitions with religious teachings or false preaching. Therefore, by eliminating such superstitions and emphasizing the relationship between reason and religion, and rational thinking about religious teachings as well as correct preaching, it may be possible to minimize irreligiousness in religious societies. This article intends to critically examine the irreligious theories and beliefs. It shows that The root of irreligious beliefs lies in ignorance and misunderstanding of religion.
