Atheism is a belief system that rejects the existence of the god and irrelevant of religion. With the advancement of information technology today, advocates of this belief are more aggressive in defending their stand against any belief that certifies the existence of the god. They attempt to disseminate their belief to all people; and more than that, they aggressively attack Islam in the social media especially Facebook. This study analyses their discussion on religion and god from two aspects; the first is the logic that consists of fact and logical fallacy; the second is emotion that is divided into insults, insinuating, meddling and questioning. Hence, this study concentrates one of pages Facebook that focusing on discussions related to atheism namely Facebook “Warung Atheist”.

Abstrak
Ateisme merupakan kepercayaan yang menolak kewujudan Tuhan dan menganggap sama tidak relevan. Dengan kemajuan teknologi maklumat pada hari ini, pendukung pemikiran ini lebih agresif mempertahankan pendirian mereka biarpun bertentangan dengan semua agama. Mereka cuba menonjolkan pemikiran mereka kepada khalayak ramai dan secara lebih agresif lagi golongan ini menyerang agama Islam di media sosial terutamanya Facebook. Kajian ini menganalisis perbincangan mereka tentang agama dari dua sudut; Pertama, aspek logik yang dibahagikan kepada fakta dan logical fallacy; Kedua, aspek emosi yang dibahagikan kepada menghina, menyindir, mempersenda dan mempersoalkan. Justeru, kajian ini menumpukan kepada salah satu “Kumpulan” Facebook yang menumpukan kepada perbincangan berkaitan dengan ateisme iaitu Facebook Warung Atheist. Data diambil secara bertujuan selama empat bulan iaitu dari Ogos hingga November 2017 dan analisis dilakukan secara analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati mereka banyak menggunakan pendekatan emosi dalam menzahirkan rasa tidak puas hati mereka terhadap konsep keTuhanan serta isu keagamaan terutamanya agama Islam. Dalam masa yang sama, ada segelintir pengguna laman tersebut memberikan pandangan yang dikukuhkan dengan fakta dan sebilangan yang lain menggunakan logical fallacy apabila membuat kesimpulan sendiri dalam sesuatu perkara yang jauh dari realiti.
