Then we could eat vegtables whenever we wanted so we would be healthier

I dunno man, the hivemind of atheists making light of religion is pretty much a religion in and of itself

Do you ever attend any weekly atheist meetups to discuss the absurdity of organized religion with others who share your views?

What if all fairytale characters were real... zomg, could you even imagine?

They do lol

They even have talk shows. There's a popular one called "the atheist experience" or something like that.

It's pretty fuckin pathetic.

"Let's talk about how we don't believe in god, yet we almost perfectly mirror the religion we hate. "

Fedorabeards all up in this topic

Wow people that dont believe in God all believe that God doesn't exist. What a hivemind! Think for yourself atheists!

no, we don't

once again, fuck off with this ignorant bullshit

Its not ignorant. Atheism is pretty much a religion at this point.

There are sects of atheists that are very much religious about their atheism. A symbol doesn't have to be a deity in order for it to be your god. You can worship anything. An ideal. A person. Anything.

You may not be like that, but there are ones who are. Its not hard to find forums or other mediums dedicated to the ideal of atheism.

wow, three people ITT tagged now with "atheism is a religion", so i know to never take anything they say seriously ever again

No one said atheism is a religion. Jesus dude, I thought atheist were supposed to be smart brains?

Oh well, whatever. Peace.

atheists don't "behave" like they're like in a religion either. you're viewing the world through a religious person's lens and think you see similarities that aren't actually there

Duran you're getting trolled super hard my man just don't respond lol

they might be trolling but I've seen a lot of people that are incapable of understanding that there are people out there that simply don't worship anything at all. not an idea, or ideal, or person, or anything

How does Megamind exist if God doesnt?

You may not believe in God but you must like something! That's your God now.
---

I think we do all sort of have a god actually or even gods.

All of our ideals originate from an outside source (many outside sources, to be precise). That makes the totality of our thoughts bigger and more powerful than us.

I guess it depends on how you define god though.

If my dad is my God does that make me Jesus Christ

Athiesm technically is not a religion but CAN purported be said to be religion. Why?
Because you're asserting a claim that you cannot actually prove either. Saying God isn't real is the same as saying God is real. You can NOT prove either.

Anyone who understands 'burden of proof' would know.

no, the smart ones are called 'agnostics'. Unfortunately most people are actually too ignorant to realise they're agnostic until you ask them to prove God doesn't exist.

Imagine saying all of this:

What happened to that deist thread I created the last time. Was so fun whacking down every single user on this board to finally admit they're all deists or agnostics.

I'm an agnostic atheist because I don't know whether or not a god exists but I don't believe in one. I guarantee you don't have any reasonable argument to "smack down" anyone with that position

That in general, still makes you an agnostic. Perhaps yes, you're leaning more to the other, but it makes sense for you at least, to keep an open mind to what is unknown.
Unicorns could have existed for all we know somewhere in history. Who the hell knows. Like we don't even know the real colors of dinosaurs because fossils don't exactly tell us that detail. Who knows, maybe there were bright pink T-rexes walking the earth.

Dismissing something on groundless evidence however, is being the ignorant one. A lot of athiests tend to sway their positions once you drill some common sense logic into their brains. Only those too dogmatic and giving up their common sense would remain as 'hard athiests'
