Atheism is not a religious affiliation; it’s a lack thereof. I’m of the particular belief that religion is a crutch for the mbumes, as well as a dangerous tool in the hands of a select few. People will subscribe to whatever ridiculous bull**** you throw at them, which is why the more obviously false religions, like Scientology, are still successful. The only real difference between the more radical religious organizations (Creationists, anyone?) and the moderate ones is that the radical religious zealots are too deluded to be concerned about whether they’re actually right or not, so criticism doesn’t work on them. Moderately religious people have nothing but the argument that “You can’t prove me wrong”, and tend to become irritable when asked if they’ve really considered their faith in a light of reason.

My parents and my sister are all guilty of this; I point out some glaring contradictions in their precious Holy Book, and they invariably respond with, “I don’t want to talk about this.” Religion was once something they pestered me about, mocking me for “close-mindedness”. Now nobody in my family mentions religion to me, because they know they aren’t equipped to argue with me on any factual grounds.

Even if there turned out to be a deity of some sort, I would still consider religion a sham. All it does is perpetuate close-mindedness and a broken system of moral absolutes. If there were a god, I should hope it would expect people to think rationally. Any supreme being that advocates blind faith over logical deduction and the careful consideration of empirical evidence cannot possibly offer me a heaven I would deem worth entering.

That said, I have no religious affiliation. Anybody responding that their religious affiliation is “atheistic” should probably look up the term.

hard to say. some elements of buddhism are very interesting, but more like a philosophy.

the only thing all people can believe in, is the joy of sex. that could unite mankind.

much more important than which god is right is to have doubts. they can never be used in favor of a religion or ideology

Scientologist.

Hindu was ages 0 – 14.

Then, I realized that organized religion is some messed up nonsense.

And then, I became an atheist. So I hate organized religion of all kinds.

Read the whole thing. It gets interesting. The OP expresses my viewpoints, but a lot of the other ideas make a good amount of sense too (besides the trolling posts).

Post ur own thoughts if u care. If not, don’t bother.

God made me an atheist. Who are the religous to question gods will?

But seriously, I am atheist due to the fact that science has a flawless track record of success, as opposed to religion (IE: Love your neighbour/Murder is sin/Kill all gays/Stone all furries/Murder all who dont believe).

If god was all mighty and flawless, why is the bible full of contradictions?
