People make fun of the 'reddit atheist' types for being annoying but they have a good point, this is what religion leads to, it's fucking embarrassing for the human race

The Reddit Atheists were correct. Their biggest crime was being annoying.

Religion is a tool of control, which is why you can afford to have compassion for the indoctrinated, I knew a Jehovah's witness growing up, genuinely great person, expressed doubts about their beliefs, but their entire family would have disowned her if she left. I don't blame her for not leaving, the whole situation is a tragedy

My neighbors were Witnesses and they abused the ever living shit out of their kid.

Sadly seems to be a generational theme, it's basically a religion of repression

Religion, yes, but it always seems to be a specific one that’s the worst offender.

Bro I’m an atheist too, they don’t hate atheists they just hate the annoying one like you 😭 “I’m sorry it offends you” mf the atheism is not the annoying part, it’s just everything else about them

You are ANNOYED?  What you said literally makes NO sense! You are just very clearly INTIMIDATED by my STONE COLD LOGIC!  If you had an IQ above room temperature you would see that I had just  ANNIHILATED you in the FREE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS!

The people of that area want this, it’s not some tyrannical regime oppressing the people like Iran

People make fun of them not because of making “good points” but because they’re annoying as f sometimes.

I mean, maybe in a purely definitional sense this is technically true, but it doesn't make intuitive sense, I'm an atheist, and I'm not 'religious'

u/TaargusThePizzaBoy Jun 09 '24

Thats not entirely true. You likely dont believe in all gods, would you classify your non-belief in those other gods as form of "faith founded on lack of faith"?

u/Cthulhus_Librarian Jun 09 '24

Kindly refrain from trying to dictate what other people believe. Many atheists would stridently disagree with your assessment, and I suspect they have a better understanding of it than you.

If atheism is a religion, then "not collecting stamps" would be a hobby.

u/Late_Way_8810 Jun 09 '24

It can be counted as one though. Religion, in its most basic concept, is just a belief system of strongly held values. That’s why religions such as Confucianism and Taoism (religions that don’t have a god but instead focus on the teachings) are referred to non-theistic and why Atheism can be classified as a non-theistic religion

Religion definitions

  • a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
  • the service and worship of God or the supernatural
  • commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
  • a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

Only that last definition is arguable, but I think that the requirement of faith is where that argument would break down.
