U.S. Atheists Know More About Religion Than U.S. Christians

[Kenny]

EXTREMELY smart people move from agnostic/atheism to faith.

Former Atheists and Agnostics

They think deeper.

Why do you WASTE so much time on Religious Forums?

.

.

I dont consider it a waste of time. It sharpens my knowledge.

But if i wer an atheist, it would not make sense to me, unless i doubted my atheism.

Do you doubt your atheism?

 

[Kenny]

I've heard similar from other Christians: that they care more about fulfilling what they see as the criteria for salvation than they do about academic knowledge of the religion... and often don't care at all about knowledge of other religions.

... which is one way you get atheists knowing more about religion than devout believers do.

Yes... we have all types of Christians, babies, young, carnal, mature, spiritual, children, fathers... all types.

 

[LuisDantas]

Not me. Christians have peace from the Lord, atheists have unhealthy religious obsessions.

Apparently most of us haven't got that memo.

So throw the baby out with the dirty diseased bathwater?

What baby?

Seriously - what good is there in religion that can't be achieved without religion?

What good there is in atheism that can't be reached without it???

So angry.

So passive-agressive.

The benefits a person gets from leaving their religion depends on the religion.

I remember seeing some merchandise from an ex-Christian atheist with the slogan "sleep in Sundays. Save 10%."

So angry.

So passive-agressive.

Sounds like you're projecting.

Oh please. Who goes to church on sundays? That is so extra. So not really a good example.

Idk, Idk. It's always the atheists throwing insults and not answering the simplest of questions properly.

The baby is the consistent tenents in all religion. A soul, a afterlife, a God. Theres evidence for those things (no im not going into the evidence on this thread). Just because theres false, evil, bad stuff in religion does not mean theres no truth in any of it.

By rejecting religion period, you reject a piece of reality.

K, lemme just start working for the NSA. I hear they have great celebrity magazines. Then we can have a Skwim tell-all.

Me! in a magazine? WOW! I'll spill the beans tomorrow.

[Skwim]

And do i have a reason to investigate this atheist alliance?

Nah. It's a harmless group . . . . . . and never mind that guy on the park bench peeking over his newspaper.

[ibelieveitisafish]

ha. when I was an atheist, I constantly talked about religion. ironic

 

[icehorse]

That is rude thing to say to someone you don't know. That I negatively impact the world. What do you think your doing here that makes the world better.

Are you standing in for all of religion?

 

[ChristineM]

No, I know. I doubt if you are worth the effort.

Correct

Do you doubt your atheism?

I'm not an atheist. As my avatar says, I'm an agnostic. So, do I doubt that I have doubts? Not at all.

@icehorse isn't actively pushing to deny people rights.
That's better than the vast majority of religious people.

 

[Skwim]

Except that it doesn't.

I have never been told to believe anything in Church.

I was confirmed a Lutheran so I know this is false. We were all told that humans are saved from their sins by God's grace alone, and that if one doesn't belief so one is unworthy of confirmation. Then there are all the other things one is told to believe in order to be a good Christian and deserving of heaven.

I wasn't there with you. But neither were you with me.

 

[Woberts]

Not very surprising, to be honest.
The majority of Christians in America seem to place a greater emphasis on complaining about their "prosecution" and forcing their regressive agenda on people than actually doing what Jesus supposedly taught.

Oh please. Who goes to church on sundays?

Observant Christians, except Seventh-Day Adventists.
