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

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

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

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:

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

Who believes this ?

A: ignorant people

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

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.

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.

How can one learn to talk frankly?

This is why religious people ban books.

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

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

What are Best Breakfast Places in Pune?

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.

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.

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.

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?

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

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.

Why do I care what others believe ?

How effective will the Senate-passed bill, S. 4569, the Take It Down Act, which would criminalize the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) be?

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

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.

Also…..tax the church!!

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.
