Can An Atheist Benefit From Religion?
Alain De Botton's book, Religion For Atheists, is branded as a 'Guide to the usefulness of religion for non-believers'. Like all his books, it's written with an almost poetic flair, and if the subject interests you, I would recommend it just for the beauty of the prose.
This review gives you quite a few details but without many of the examples from religions that Botton brings to his argument. Interestingly, all of these examples come from Christianity, Judaism,and occasionally Budhism, not a single one from Islam or Hinduism.

1965 - When Pakistan's Liberals Went Right Wing

War can have strange effects on people. As this archival dive into now obscure and forgotten songs proves, it can even shake the most committed of radicals. Jaun Eliya, Inayat Husain Bhatti, even Habib Jalib were swayed by the atmosphere generated by the Indo-Pak war of 1965. What this video does most is prove through solid evidence that the ideas we unthinkingly ascribe to just one man (Genera...

    I think world is moving on from this narcissistic mindset and emptiness. It has given us nothing but wars over resources and hunger. Following the path of Creator is the only solution. You are not important in the universe I’m sorry. You are nothing! When you consider yourself important (with yolo mindset) you please yourself even at the expense of other’s suffering. Cuz hey, there is no hell to punish you. Great example of that is Isreal with 60% atheist population surprisingly. The most racist the most blood thirsty state in the world.

    interestingly, after becoming an atheist, I felt a lot more humble. for once, i am able to look at mortality in the eye because I am not scared of hell fire. i feel personally responsible for destroying nature, because i don't feel k dunya faani hai/test ki jagah hai/end of times ki sign from God etc. I can wear second hand clothes because 'halal paisay ko enjoy karna jaaiz hai' wali philosophy laikar nahi chal rahi, i am a better wife because i am not obsessed with husband duties in Islam and 'his money is my money' wali soch. I feel like I can be an adult ready to see myself as a morally grey and forever work in progress, unlike the absolutism that Islam offered...

New atheist trha ke ideas zabani tuo sahi lgte hein pr un ke logo pr munfi asrat hi zada hote aur isi lie wo rw ke sath ja milte hein. Atheism or atheist hone me new atheism ki koi gunjaish nahi. Kisi ke apne deeply personal spiritual beliefs pr hamla krna aur un ko kmtr dikhane ki koshish krne ka koi faida nahi he ulta nuqsan he

    One young woman's cover of a wonderful song, in which she is seeking the right kind of man ruclips.net/video/DGMflSHRxFY/видео.html She found him, and she replies to him with another cover: ruclips.net/video/LoIE8RDPKqk/видео.html This man: 1. The general, 'masculine' cosmos and the special, 'feminine' Earth (Gen 1:1); 2. The Earth, as its own general subject, and its special kind of material wealth: its abiding maximal abundance of open liquid water (v. 2); 3. That water, in general, and its cycling (the water cycle, vs. 3-10); 4. The water cycle, in general, and its beneficiaries: biological life (vs. 11-12); 5. Biological life, in general, and its special category, animal biology (vs. 20-25); 6. Animals, in general, and its special category, humans (vs. 26-29); 7. The general human and the special...woman (Genesis 2:7-25). This pairing sequence is itself paired with the fact there are ONLY FIVE names that Genesis 1 reports that God gives to five things. And, these things seem to be the Earth's own prime three dynamic, feminine subsystems of its water cycle: 1. the thermally regulative day/night cycle ('day' and 'night', v. 5); 2. the thermally regulative atmosphere (special, home-centric sky, 'shamayim', as in Gen 1:8 and Gen 2:4b - NOT 'ha-shamayim', phenomenologically general sky, as in Gen 1:1 and Gen 2:4a); 3. the land/sea surface thermal exchange system ('earth' and 'seas', v. 10). If these three sets of things are what these verses are reporting, then it finds analogy in Adam's later naming Woman (Genesis 2:23). ((( I think she, likewise, names him ))). For, these things are the Earth's own basic, feminine subsystems for handling the Sun's radiation for benefit of life on Earth. This is why Genesis 1 says that God saw that the light (v. 3) was good. For the 'light' is in the prior context of the Earth and its wealth of water. It is not (repeat, not) physical light unto itself that God called good. It is the relation which the light has for the potential for water-based life on Earth. For, tellingly, the Genesis 1 account does not report that God names gravity, or light unto itself, or even water. Only of day-and-night, as such, and the atmosphere, and of land and sea. These are: (i) of continual regular rotation of the Earth, which moderates that 'directional' radiation for all parts of the Earth (Gen 1:4-5); (ii) the Earth's atmosphere, which further moderates that radiation to the surface (Gen 1:6-8); (iii) the continual thermal exchange of land and sea, which constitutes the thermal moderating system of Earth's thermally binary surface (Gen 1: 9-10). - - - Imagine we had no experience of any world like the ecological Earth. Imagine we did not know what is a dew-touched field of grass in the morning. Or 'night', 'daytime', or 'morning'. No sunsets. No plants or animals. No 'starry nights' as seen from the grass of such a world. Instead, all we knew were things such as 'hot balls of fire' seen from inside a Star Trek-like star ship. No misty mornings seeing rays of the Sun shining between the trees. We could, of course, have all the 'synthesized' food we could want. But that would be only by way of the toil and expertise of maintaining such 'glorious' technology. We also would not have free air, free gravity, or free atmospheric pressure. Nor could we say, 'My darling, your eyes sparkle like dew in the morning'. And there would be no romance in likening our lover to a moon. We also could not let any of the ship's systems of life support go untended, lest we die, or, at least, deeply suffer until we got it working well again. We would have all the 'synthesized' food we could want. But only by way of the toil and expertise of maintaining such 'glorious' technology. And, we would not have free air, free gravity, or free atmospheric pressure either. We also could not say, 'My darling, your eyes sparkle like dew in the morning'. And there would be no romance in likening our lover to a moon and night. We also could not let any of the ship's systems of life support go untended, lest we die, or, at least, deeply suffer until we got it working well again. Could we even be properly human? We would not know of clouds, rain, or peaceful sea coasts. Instead, we would be oppressed by mere bulkheads, and the ever-need to maintain energy shield generators against cosmic radiation. What a un-beautiful life it would be. The holo-deck will not show us a world of plants and animals and hills and rivers. So, for our not having ever known of a living world, what hope could we feel? And what would any hope we might feel be based upon? So, if someone were to tell us of such a world, how could we believe him? It would just be too fantastical, and too strange. But, back to reality for a moment: we actually know of such a world. So how do we think we objectively imagine that a Star Trek-like space ship is glorious? In its own terms, the ship is a hunk of junk, no matter how many kinds of food it synthesizes. It cannot produce even one living tree. And, we don't even know what a tree is. So our ship, though it can travel at 'warp speed', would only sap us of our more generous sense of humanity. For, for example, no must get even one day off from working to maintain the ship, so long as it needs our tending just for it to keep us both alive and well. Now imagine our ship has automatically taken us to the Earth, and lets us out onto this world. I think we would be far, far more awestruck at this ecological world than we could ever be by suddenly having a fully-functioning USS Enterprise. And, we would be awestruck every moment of every day for the rest of our lives. I was am inspired to write this, about four months ago, because of this girl: ruclips.net/video/0rG7r_PhBjA/видео.html
