If you’re an atheist, what would be your motive in spreading atheism, and why would you care what others believe?

Why do people ‘become’ atheists ? There’s only two ways. Since atheism is the absence of any beliefs in any gods, therefore every human that ever lived, and ever will live, including all priests, rabbis, imams, ministers, bishops, cardinals, popes, was born an atheist. Consequently all atheists are the result of one of two scenarios:

So, how do we accomplish elevating people such that they are not so easily brainwashed by religion ?

a person who was indoctrinated as a child, and then chose to let go of their religion after coming to the realization that religion is really all just man made fiction. They return to the state of having no beliefs when they entered the world.

Why does my vagina always itch so badly after my periods?

Hitler was a Christian. Stalin attended confession once a month. Hirohito was considered a living god.

This is the irony of religion - if god was real there would be no need for bibles or churches. But religious people feel the need to be the ‘messengers’, as well as the enforcers. That alone verifies that there is no god.

So, my motive is not to ‘spread atheism’, since that makes no sense, but through increasing education of everyone, and teach critical thinking skills, and include teaching science, mathematics, literature, the arts, and accurate history, more people will let go of their religion, and as a consequence there will be more atheists as an end result.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

a person is never indoctrinated by religion in the first place, and remains an atheist from birth

Religion ceases to exist when it no longer has any followers. Therefore, mathematically religion considers any source that results in losing followers to be a threat to the existence of that religion. This is why religion vilifies atheism. Religion lies and spreads false accusations about atheism because religion needs to bring atheism down to its own level in order to fabricate a comparison. This is why unethical religious people make false claims about atheism being a belief system.

A: Increase education so that people possess critical thinking for the purpose of making informed and educated decisions based on their own objective reasoning, and not based on religious fear mongering.

Why do I care what others believe ?

A: ignorant people

Monarchs, Emperors, Czars, and dictators all have used religion to both polarize their citizens as well provide themselves with a solution for committing atrocities. Some even make claim to being a god.

As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

Why does religion not keep to itself ? Why do religious people attack anyone who is not a member of their religion ?

Atheism is simply the absence of any belief in any gods. Full stop!

This is why religious people ban books.

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

I do have a motive to move the human race beyond medieval belief systems, because these belief systems have been and continue to be the greatest source of violence and prejudice against one another. It continues today:

This is all sustained successfully when you keep the masses ignorant. This is why in the Dark Ages peasants were not permitted to read the Bible. It required a member of the church to read it for them. It has always been about controlling the messaging.

Also…..tax the church!!

What should you do if a police officer comes to your house and asks for someone who doesn't live there anymore?

Look at history: the highest level of oppression and tyranny have always been built upon religion.

If the different religions represent different channels on the TV, then atheism represents simply turning the TV off. This is why atheism is perceived as a threat to the existence to ALL religions. Consequently, religion seeks to fabricate the lies of claiming that atheism is something that it is not.

This continues today….

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

I have no motive to ‘spread atheism’ as atheism is not a belief system.

Also - ban the teaching of religion to children. If adults wish to learn religion then have the freedom to do so, but stop teaching religion to children.

I do not care what others believe IF AND ONLY IF other people do NOT impose their beliefs on others. That is the irony of all religions - it never keeps to itself. Why is Israel slaughtering innocent people in Gaza ? Religion. Why did Hamas slaughter innocent people on Oct. 7 ? Religion ? Why did the Supreme Court remove freedoms from American women to allow American men to control what they can do with their own bodies ? Religion.

What are some examples of a threat to democracy in India?

Who believes this ?

Atheism has nothing to do with being a bad person, or a good person. It simply means you do not believe in any gods…..but that still makes it a perceived threat to any religion, because of the reasons atheists do not believe in god: objective reasoning and critical thinking. Religious people need to make the discussion about morality, because every other argument they have crumbles against any analytical review. The mental gymnastics of deflections, and pivots, and ‘interpretations’ never ends.

Religion is holding the rest of us back. Religion seeks to preserve people to only reading one book, that was written more than a thousand years ago by ignorant flat earthers who believed the sun revolved around the earth.
