atheism

I'm glad it works for you, but I find it sad that atheism and life having no purpose depresses you.

Would he treat me differently?He was strucked by my atheism in third generation.

I'd be curious to see how atheism fits in, if for this purpose it was counted as a religion.

If /r/trees or /r/atheism ever gets banned, it will be the result of a completely different kind of pressure.

It's better to actually understand the history of the middle east, rather than post a link to /r/atheism.

We make the mistake of relenting that religion is used for moral guidance when nations with higher atheism are the ones with the least problems.

/r/atheism will never be this philosophical-type sub, it'll always be meme-ish anti-Christian crap.

This trope is getting exceedingly tired, on par with the "taxation is theft", "atheism is a religion" and "Linux should be called GNU/Linux" brigades that often crop up in the appropriate discussions.

I would take Dawkins' earnest, educated, rational and well-meaning brand of urgent atheism over fundamentalist religion any day.

Witches don't like being called "witches" because in today's political climate, that label is disapproved. Actually being a witch, however, is not. So they use lightly-coded language like religious tolerance, atheism, rationalism, skepticism.

The other reason he can be so flippant is that he's an ex-Mormon who walked out on his family and church because he'd taken up sleeping around and atheism, so from his point of view the worst damage to his social standing has already been inflicted.

It is a complex and interesting topic, Dawkins-style atheism leads to a "there is no evidence for god so we can just forget about religion" type of stance which makes most "rational" people nowadays not understand the first thing about religion and its role.

Religion, as sexuality, should only be visible at home, and expecting a fair treatment of atheism in public is as silly as expecting to be allowed to hold your boyfriends hand in public or expecting to be allowed to discuss last Sundays sermon on the street.

Be it related to atheism or religion or sexual orientation or recovering alcoholism or even stamp collecting or trainspotting, there are a lot of groups that one might want to join that they wouldn't necessarily want to shout about to everyone.

Mostly what I find in this generation of non-believer is not reflective, self-conscious atheism but rather an inherited, brittle and angry atheism that assumes the final triumph of reductionist materialist science has been accomplished.
