You don't need to take the story of Noah and the flood literally to be a practitioner of an Abrahamic religion. Let alone be religious.

If they keep their religious dogmas to themselves it's whatever. If they use it to discriminate or otherwise force the dogma upon others, then it's an issue. Conversion camps for instance are effing torture and should never be allowed.

Yahweh gave up and let his kid run the business around 4-0 BCE, and then the the Romans nailed that kid to lumber around 29-33AD or so.

Then, Saul of Tarsus single-handedly destroyed a religion of peace and charity.

You can just judge each thing said on it's own merits and only "write it off" if you think it's something influenced by certain lifestyles you find illogical. Even then, I don't like "writing off" something, because it's still an opportunity to attempt to understand the correlation between their lifestyle and their understanding of the world. Pretty much everyone is valuable to understanding the world better, if you just find the right way to analyze it.

religion is interwoven into a lot of aspects of society for better or for worse (i generally tend to think worse), and there are plenty of avenues in your life built to push you towards one church or another. it's beginning to change, but not nearly enough for me to ever just automatically think less of someone for being religious.

flat earth is very different in how incredibly willfully ignorant you have to be. like you have to be disregarding what 99.9% of people in the world view as self evident to be a flat earther

We live on a tiny ball in the middle of infinite space that goes on forever and ever. The only thing I will never doubt is humanity ability to convince themselves they know everything. We find things absurd....when our entire effing existence is absurd.

Looking up at space. There isn't a damn thing that would surprise me.

Religion has even less of a basis than flat earth beliefs. Flat earthers base their beliefs on stuff they can observe, even though they are ultimately incorrect. Religion doesn't have literally anything supporting it whatsoever. Religion is lower on the totem pole than flat earth. This is factual and not up for debate.

Actually it can be up for debate. Flat earth can be disproven. The idea of a God can't it just can't be proven either. Not by current science anyways.

Therefore it never had the basis for an argument/discussion to begin with, unlike flat earth which has the whole "the earth looks flat from my perspective so i believe its flat for that reason"

Not really people can be religious for reasons outside they where raised to be.

I'm not religious really but the idea did creep into my mind in recent history. As I've brought up on this board I've gone to rehab recently. Shortly before going I would fall asleep in a drunken stupor listening to music. YouTube eventually devolves into playing random shit it thinks you might like. Two times within a week of deciding to go rehab I woke up to find YouTube on songs which titles seemed to send a message. First "I'm not ok" and second "help" it honestly felt like someone was sending me a message. Coincidences like these can be just coincidences but some may believe it's a higher power sending a message.

Not being able to prove something doesn't exist is not an argument. If that were the case we all should believe in leprechauns.
