For some reason, it is generally accepted that an atheist is a person who does not believe in God. This is partly true, but in fact the denial of the supreme deity does not mean the rejection of faith as such. Like the "Nautilus" of the 80s: "You can believe in the absence of faith." In this regard, the denial of the divine should also lead to other steps: a revision of the value picture of the world and the adoption of a new model. Basically, what is religion? It is the production of moral values, ethical standards of behavior

When looking for an answer to the question posed, one cannot bypass the topic of free will. For a fatalist who burns time, there is no past or present. For him there is only the future and the expectation of this very future. Personal choice is reduced to only a minimal awareness of what is happening, which in a particular situation can be constructed depending on personal interests. Therefore, the answer to the question "fatalist - who is this" should be sought in personal egoism

Philosophy includes many currents and trends. Each scientist somehow explained the relevant categories for his time in his own way.
