Acharya Prashant addresses the trend of atheism by first defining theism as the belief in a particular God. He clarifies that spirituality, in this context, is not theistic. While religion may involve belief in God or gods, spirituality is an inquiry into the Truth and is not about beliefs. Therefore, it is not a problem if a person does not believe in a fictional God. Even if a person, say Rajiv, denies the existence of God, he still believes in his own existence. Spirituality is the investigation into who this 'Rajiv' is, asking the question, "Who am I?" He explains that this personal identity, like 'Rajiv', is a bundle of petty, useless things, miscellaneous identities, and random events that have come together. However, there is a knowing or understanding that perceives all this, which is not borrowed from anywhere. This understanding is what remains after one dis-identifies from the borrowed bundle of identity. He describes this as "consciousness without content" or the fundamental "I am-ness," which is the Truth. This inquiry into "Who am I?" is the subject matter of spirituality and Vedanta. Acharya Prashant states that Vedanta demolishes all concepts of gods. It is about the Truth, not God. In fact, he suggests it is better to be an atheist for the spiritual journey, as one would be free from the "God baggage." The journey into Truth is smoother for an atheist because they travel light, without the burden of beliefs. He contrasts this with believers, whose beliefs are deeply enmeshed with their identity. When their beliefs are questioned, they feel their very existence is being attacked, making it difficult to deal with them. Vedanta is not for believers; it is for those who want to know, not just believe. It scoffs at faith, traditions, and blind belief, instead emphasizing the inquiry into the Truth beyond the human mind.
