Abstract: Religion is not always glorified as religious adherents glorify it.Moreover, advances in science and technology have given rise to a new spirit of autonomy and independence which has encouraged some people to declare freedom from God.At first, atheism only challenged God's power over human beings, but this trend has developed into a denial of God's existence.Denial of God's Existence in "The Theology of God Is Dead" In the argumentation of atheism, the rejection of God differs in terms of the role played by religion.Therefore the purpose of this paper is to examine the atheist perspective on religion.This paper uses descriptive qualitative research methods with data collection in the form of literature studies.In this article, it can be concluded that there are three influential atheist figures in the early 21st century.Namely Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchen and Sam Harris.These three figures have phenomenal works in opposing the existence of God.Although the three figures mentioned above are religious critics, there are differences between them.Richard Dawkins is more concerned with the issue that religion is a delusion, Hitchen criticizes religion from the perspective of religious institutions.Whereas Harris criticizes religion in terms of the things offered by religion, for him religion does not offer peace but vice versa Abstrak:
