I once saw a satire article headline called “More atheists than ever before are now attending weekly meetings to discuss the evils of organized religion” and I think that sums up this subreddit pretty well
That doesn't sound like atheism, that sounds like a religion where satan is religion
It is a fact that those evils exist. It's just that these Redditors can't understand the concept of accepting others' beliefs.
Ironic... they became the very thing they sought to destroy...
I don't its the concept of weekly meetings that's the problem...
Well this not actually a bad thing

Reddit moment
@@NoNameNoWhere one time redditors took a W
I got *banned* for saying God wasn't evil.
First and only time I checked out the subreddit.
As there are self-righteous religious people who state they are "holier than thou", we must not forget the self-righteous Reddit atheists who think they are "more rational than thou"
I love it 😂
But only one matters. Being holier than though is meaningless. Being more rational is always good. Isn't it? Why would YOU hate rationality?
@@AntonGully I'm not against rationality, and is away from the point I made. So to clarify, the issue is those who boast about it and become so involved with elevating themselves above others that they display an unlikable personality, and often picture the majority in a false light.
It's the same with religious people, so why does only one matter to you? If I argued being holy was good, then doesn't that make anybody who thinks of themselves as being better than others to the point of making it their personality a good thing? How is that not the same thing?
We ought to humble ourselves, and accept the fact that none of us are perfect or can be perfect, and are capable of wrongdoing. Pride comes before the fall, regardless of which mask it hides behind.
@@AntonGully I think rationality is good in moderation. But faith is a natural part of being human too. So for example, when I was younger I had an experience where I think I witnessed an angel. It met the "criteria", I turned around, there was an intense bright light as if someone shone a searchlight into my face, within the light I could see a "humanoid shape", there was a "feeling" conveyed to me (nothing was spoken) that I guess if I was to put into words would be that "everything will be okay". I ended up looking away because it was too bright and then when I looked back it was gone (also I didn't actively seek this experience, it wasn't after a bout of prayer or meditation, and I wasn't on medication for anything).
If I was to be 100% rational and logic I'd be like "okay my brain glitched, move along" and I'd throw away a wonderful personal experience that I think a lot of people do seek, even super ardent atheists, for example Alex O'Connor said all he wants is his "Paul" moment to believe. But even as someone who considers themselves a person of faith I do reflect on it, I'm not immune to analysis and wanting to explain things away. Even with that experience I still have doubts and anger, it's frustrating.
Then there's the darker side of rationality that can lead to social darwinism and eugenics, obviously that'd be a super extreme take but it has happened.
I guess my point would be that we all contain faith and rational parts in our brains, maybe to act as checks and balances, and that to purge one side is a bit sad, both should be utilised in our lives.
@@Doobjo thank you for the reply. At the time I wasn't super spiritual or religious (I still am not, I have regular internal wrestling with faith), I went to a CofE school which had mandatory (unless you were different faith) prayer so I was always trying to wriggle out of those in my childhood and youth.
I was also not on any medication and have no history of mental illness.
I also wish these experiences would be more common and I'm not sure why they're not. If you're interested there's a podcast called 'The bible for normal people', they have an episode where they interview a chap called Dale Allison about "mystery" and it touches a bit on that sort of thing.
I know some people say that proof would take away our choice but I'm not so sure. If we take Christian and islamic lore as the truth then angels knew of god and had spent time in his presence but still chose to go their own way.
I'm not sure I'd call myself a Christian anyway nowadays, my experience didn't announce Jesus is Lord or anything to me, I just went with Christianity because it seemed to share the trope (though pretty much all faiths feature encounters).
Maybe the mistake we make (and keep making) is trying to confine the divine to a "holy book" while at the same time saying it's an unknowable and infinite entity or force.

@@nenmaster5218 cosmic skeptic too
@@mcchilde2903 Yep!
@@nenmaster5218 I daresay it's nothing to do with Atheism or religion. Insufferable people will be insufferable, they just congregate in reddit. You can find decent people who are Atheists, Christians, Muslims etc in the real world.
For instance. Christians telling you "Bless you" or "Merry Christmas" usually don't mean anything ill of it. It's a gesture of goodwill, usually a greeting, not a means of enforcing religious beliefs to non-believers. Jews can reply with "Happy Hanukkah" to them and be on their way.
lemme just rephrase it for you. "redditors pretending they're high IQ individual are absolutely insufferable". Or maybe "redditors are absolutely insufferable" is enough.
@@randomanonymousperson3603 Your absolutely right.
I'm an atheist.
When people say they are praying for you try to remember that they do so because they care about you and you matter to them.
That's cause you're an adult
I like to say "thoughts and prayers" as a joke, but people keep thinking I'm genuinely being nice, so I keep my mouth shut.
@@excalibur493 sheesh... People think you're just trying to be nice...
"Thoughts and prayers" is basically just the oldest wholesome meme in existence. People can't do much from a distance, especially back when you couldn't just push a button to send people money. Instead you'd offer "thoughts and prayers" as a reminder that people, even total strangers thousands of miles away, care about your well-being.
I only have a problem with people who just do that as a ohh I helped.
Whenever I see a smug internet atheist responding to someone saying they’re praying for someone with something about how praying doesn’t do anything, I usually reply to them asking what exactly they’re doing to help, because bitching on the internet at people being empathetic to other people’s suffering definitely doesn’t help.
It reminds me of philosopher of science (and professional troll) Paul Feyerabend's quip: "Prayer may not be very efficient when compared to celestial mechanics, but it surely holds its own vis-a-vis some parts of economics."
But the praying doesn't do anything either. Unless you think you HAVE to pray to God. Like HAVE TO. Like a slave. You praying and him doing nothing has exactly the same result. It's why sports events don't turn into plagues, because one team is cursed and the other is chosen to be the recipient of God's blessing. Neither team matters. They can pray, but praying does nothing.
@@GRB-tj6uj That quote was a hard knock on prayer, but you don't seem to have realised.
@@AntonGully I think I understand Feyerabend, someone I've read extensively and am currently writing a paper on, better than you.
The atheists are doing exactly just as much as anyone praying lmfao

As an atheist, I had joined the subreddit when I first started going on reddit but I quickly left after discovering how much of a dumpsterfire it was. Not believing in God doesn't meant you can be a piece of shit to people who do ffs
Yeah, sometimes it's kind of embarrassing knowing that you could be grouped with these creeps.
I believe in God. But, there is a time and place for everything. There are 2 things I don't bring up when I first meet someone. Politics and religion. I respect all beliefs or non-beliefs.
tbh, not believing in God
basically you just rejecting God, you still believe God exist
As long as you know what is religion, God means, you believe them but rejecting them
@@makotomachiyuki Read your comment, again, not believing in God means *not* *believing* in the existence of God. I do not believe in flying pigs, therefore I do not believe in the existence of pigs that can fly. Your comment made absolutely no sense.

when ive looked at r/atheism, it mostly strikes me as a group of people who have not grown past their angry athiest phase. i used to be like that, when i was 15, saying all religion is bad, ignoring the genuinely good people who are religious, blaming religion for any religious person's misdeeds, etc. but then i recognised that it was just kinda pointless to hate religion. there is of course a conversation to be had about certain aspects of religion and such, but such anger is not the way.
Ya - anger is exhausting. I could point to SO many negative things religious fundamentalism is doing on the political stage in the US and in the Middle East, but anger (especially directed at a large group of people who include non-fundamentalists) isn't productive. Political action against religious extremism is.
My mistake with Reddit was thinking it was filled with normal people looking for actual conversation. I was banned from the Literature subreddit for daring to say that I could enjoy an author’s work without agreeing with everything they say. It only took a few minutes to catch the hammer. I said to myself “oh… it’s this kind of community.” And I never touched it again.
yeah r/atheism is very banhappy

@lenoxpl3942 Probably. I think that it's true for most, the majority of neckbeard atheists were American and from a country that was founded by the Puritans, whereas in my own country of UK 🇬🇧 from my experience being an atheist, people don't give so much of a shit by comparison. It's probably no coincidence that many of them were ex-creationists and whatnot 🤔
@@invisibleman4827To say it was founded by the puritans is a massive oversimplification. Those guys were largely concentrated in New England. Their influence had to contend with that of deists among the founding fathers, the Anglicans, presbyterians, and the small amount of exiled Catholics.

As an atheist it feels nice when someone says "God bless you" or "have a blessed day" or something along those lines, because even if I'm a non believer, it feels like they actually want you to have a good day or succeed in something you're doing. Feels a lot more sincere since they invoking the power of whoever/whatever they believe in
Genuine Question: Who has Ratio-Wise the Most Sillyhead? Are there more Unhealthy-Atheists (like Onision) or more Kent-Hovind's?

@@EnriqueLaberinticothis goes with discussing with any group that you are opposed to: always consider what they are saying, even if you do not agree with them nor will you likely ever agree with them. You can back up your side, but explain it like you’re saying “I can’t speak on others perspective, but this is my personal experience.” And most importantly, NEVER GENERALIZE A GROUP! Doing that immediately makes you come off as irrational and not just invalidates what you have to say, it puts a bad name on your side. I (a Christian) have had tons of religious discussions with atheists that were positive and actually helped me developed my beliefs simply because we were respectful towards each other and never blamed the other person for believing in their beliefs

As a Christian myself, I feel that atheists criticizing and critiquing religion is a healthy and necessary thing; for the atheist in question, but especially for the religion in question.
The issue I find with this particular brand of atheism is that it can quickly become as dogmatic and vitriolic as the very religion they are railing against.
they just replace the Religion anyway be it Religion or their hatred of religion. the atheists who are fine dont talk about Religion that much
I agree! Excellent point!
I agree. Religion should be used as a way, to improve ourselves and others, not to ruin the lives of others.
@@saraberisha6773 Honestly, the Christians who truly examine and wrestle their faith, with doubt and compassion; those Christians are often some of the closest to Christ out of us all. I admire you for that.
@@blknmongl342 Exactly, and when it is used to marginalize, dehumanize, and oppress, it should be critiqued and challenged.
To oversimplify to a great degree, the issue with this brand of atheism is that it blames all manner of human ills on religion, refusing to acknowledge the many societal, biological, and psychological variables that often hide beneath that veneer of religiosity, even when said variables are affecting these atheists themselves.
For example, a great number of Internet skeptics who initially made their start on RUclips lambasting religion found themselves part of the “Anti-SJW” crowd. As admittedly annoying as social justice warriors can be at times, a great multitude raise great points that should be addressed, but are instead ignored in favour of mocking the more outwardly cringeworthy members of the movement.
This unwillingness to address the problems of today betrays an ignorance of the reality that as human beings and image-bearers of God we are obligated to be conduits for a Love greater than ourselves, no matter your faith or lack thereof.

As a Christian, I heard about how bad the subreddit was and decided to browse it out of morbid curiosity. The top posts were just vitriolic, as in I was genuinely surprised how much emotion these redditors put into hating Christianity as a whole. I shrugged off mostly everything I saw, because I didn't know if they'd had bad experiences with Christianity or anything like that, but the post that really pissed me off was one that ranted about how people should stop funding the restoration of Notre Dame because, quote, "Nobody cares about a building witha shit history". THAT got to me, because even if they didn't understand the religious and cultural value the building held, they completely disregarded the fact that it was a monument of human engineering, an incredible feat of architecture that took 200 years to build. It's really a marvel of ancient architecture, and being relegated to just "Some building with a shit history" just because of it's connection to Christianity is honestly infuriating.
Many people with religious trauma (whether it be physical, emotional, sexual) act like that, it's understandable how they feel angry and want to lash out and just... say the rude, socially inappropriate things they'd get punished severely for saying before, in a community of people who have similar experiences of trauma and understand + will not hurt you. But it is a very unhealthy coping mechanism, they should seek a more healthy healing process from professionals. And of course the fact that they see all religious people as those like their abusers is a problem, though this isn't exclusive to religious trauma (like some victims of SA being scared of all men/women) it is unfair for the less harmful religious folks
@@a_spenMost of it just seems like whining because their parents made them go to church on Sunday
@sharpasacueball for sure there are plenty of people who just say things that will provoke the deepest emotional distress in as many people as possible because they want to be edgy and controversial and 'anti authority', just saying it's my personal experience with people w/ religious trauma that makes me think a lot of these people have some sort of these experiences and are misdirecting their anger. Probably not most, or even a majority of them though
And of course not all people with trauma are angry and disrespectful either, know multiple people who were scared for their lives due to them being irreligious/questioning and had to escape and cut ties with family, they're some of the nicest people I know and have always been nice to me (atheist, but religious) and theist folks
@@a_spenNo,you are comparing a woman that got SA by a man and then hate all men,whit somebody that go SA by a priest and then the church move all of their money to cover up the incident and act as nothing happened there. Is complete nonsense to apply the same hatred to orthodox and protestant churches,but everyone in the catholic church is responsible for that,literaly everyone, because you can call the megapastors scamers,but both Francis and Benedict are involved in very fucked up controversies, and people still support them.
When i was a little boy in the 1970s, radical atheists were extremely rare. My father was one of them, angry, smug and mean. It was amazing to me to see in the 2010s that my mean father's worldview went mainstream. I have never been able to hold faith, but I taught myself as much about the Bible as evolution. I have been on the bad side of Christians and I grew up with a mean atheist. I can tell you that atheists are just humans, capable of all the nastiness and fanaticism of any religious person.
I'm a Christian and I met some nice Atheists on the net that respect Christianity.

That does sound like Reddit. Honestly it’s still cringe just for other reasons. Maybe it’s because it’s mostly young people and loners.
There are so many annoying posts like that, not just on r/atheism. There's people who think they're being good by destroying people with different opinions.
Why did you look for science posts on r/atheism and not on something like r/science?
@@morehero1 Probably because they all say they're using facts and logic and science, but in fact are using opinions and a reddit post, instead of opinions and a book written 2000 years ago.

Turns out, merit one way or the other is timeless.
I'm an ex-atheist and born-again Christian. I just decided to jump on reddit and there was a post from an hour ago where OP says he's suspicious of theists that claim they were once atheists, and then of course everyone in the thread commented about their shared skepticism and said it's 'likely they're lying'. I think it's funny that they have such a hard time swallowing the truth that people can go from atheist to theist, probably because they don't believe in miracles.
What made you christian again?
Hello, I hope you're doing well.
I don't know how to start this message, but I ask you to consider these two points:
1) do you know a Christian who calls the father the *only* true God?
Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) described the father as the **only** true God, and himself as a messenger sent from God:
John 17:3 NLT - And this is the way to have eternal life-to know you [reffering to the father], the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
John 17:4 NLT - I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
He also describes the father as the only one who is all-knwoing:
Matthew 24:36 ESV - “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
The holy spirit is not God since it isn't all-knwoing. Jesus himslef isn't God since he isn't all-knowing. Only the father is all-knwoing. Only the father is God.
2) Ask yourself, my friend, did Moses, David, Solomon, or Abraham worship Jesus (peace be upon him)? When did these prophets ask people to worship three God-heads?
They all called for the worship of one God - the creator of the universe. If you think they're going to heaven, you're not going with them; they didn't worship what you worship. They didn't worship Jesus (PBUH), a human god, or three God-heads. Reflect about this, my friend, before it's too late..
The word "muslim" itself means in Arabic "one who submits his will to God". All prophets did submit their own will to that of God. They did what pleases God, even if it went agianst the norm of their society or nations. They knew death is inevitable and that only God will hold them accountable.
God says in the Quran:
(keep in mind that Allah means God in Arabic; even Arabic speaking Christians use Allah to refer to God)
﴿قُل إِنّي نُهيتُ أَن أَعبُدَ الَّذينَ تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ لَمّا جاءَنِيَ البَيِّناتُ مِن رَبّي وَأُمِرتُ أَن أُسلِمَ لِرَبِّ العالَمينَ﴾ [Ghāfir: 66]
(66) Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allāh once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."
And in another chapter he says:
﴿قُل يا عِبادِ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقوا رَبَّكُم لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنوا في هذِهِ الدُّنيا حَسَنَةٌ وَأَرضُ اللَّهِ واسِعَةٌ إِنَّما يُوَفَّى الصّابِرونَ أَجرَهُم بِغَيرِ حِسابٍ﴾ [Az-Zumar: 10]
(10) Say,[1345] "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allāh is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."
[1345]- The Prophet (ﷺ) is instructed to say on behalf of Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) to His believing servants.
﴿قُل إِنّي أُمِرتُ أَن أَعبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخلِصًا لَهُ الدّينَ﴾ [Az-Zumar: 11]
(11) Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion.
﴿وَأُمِرتُ لِأَن أَكونَ أَوَّلَ المُسلِمينَ﴾ [Az-Zumar: 12]
(12) And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims."
﴿قُل إِنّي أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّي عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ﴾ [Az-Zumar: 13]
(13) Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day."
﴿قُلِ اللَّهَ أَعبُدُ مُخلِصًا لَهُ ديني﴾ [Az-Zumar: 14]
(14) Say, "Allāh [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion,
﴿فَاعبُدوا ما شِئتُم مِن دونِهِ قُل إِنَّ الخاسِرينَ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم وَأَهليهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ أَلا ذلِكَ هُوَ الخُسرانُ المُبينُ﴾ [Az-Zumar: 15]
(15) So worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss."
I know this might be a lot to handle, but I ask God to make it easy for you.
May God, by his grace and mercy, show us the truth and guide us towards it 🙏❤
I went from Catholic to atheist back to Catholicism and it was stronger than ever.
Same
I wasn’t exactly a declared atheist per-say, but I certainly didn’t care about faith at a point in my life not so long ago. I avoided getting involved in my church because I was sure that it was all just feel-good fluff. I was flirting with existential nihilism, but after I beat that, I decided to give my Bible a true read from start to finish.
Now, the Bible is a VERY long book and so I obviously did not do this in a day or even within a single week, it is far too cerebral to try and do that. But what I found in there definitely challenged my conceptions of what religion meant that I had gathered from the internet and barely paying attention to the sermons at church. Everything presented such a compelling and deep narrative of humanity and God with more nuance than I could have possibly expected. The people of the Bible weren’t larger-than-life stone statues, set in their characteristics and as flat as your average fairy tale character, they were people who felt real in a way I can hardly describe. Particularly, I was enraptured when I got to the Book of Job. Such a visceral story of loss, faith, temptation, and resilience. I’m not going to say any books of the Bible are more important than each other, but Job in particular touched me like no other.
Throughout this second shot at religion, I started talking about religion more with the people I knew. I found that among all of my atheist friends, the reason they were atheists wasn’t because of any real introspection, questioning, or research, but usually because of bad experiences with religious people, annoyance with and spite for their parents for making them go to church on Sundays, or just simple disinterest in thinking about the topic (no hatred or disdain to them for this, just something I noticed). On the other hand, I found many of the people I knew who were religious recounting an arduous and personally significant journeys they had been on to arrive at their current beliefs.
Long story short, I’m a proud Christian now and I thank my younger self for having had the guts to go on that journey.

I love it when Reddit atheists, who clearly only came in contact with "science" through Wikipedia articles and free RUclips documentaries, worship it like a god-like entity and treat popular scientists (who often times aren't even the best or most recognised in their field) like their prophets.
The irony is just so sweet.
"When the people have none to worship, the people often worship themselves"
- quote by me
Right? They will hate Muslims for following Muhammad or Christians for following Jesus but they follow Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris like they are God. Makes no sense.
The thing that always baffles me is people who mix up science as a whole set of all fields of knowledge and aplicable methods with scientific method that was used to gain aformentioned things.

The r/atheism user woke up groggy next to his 6 pack of empty Mountain Dew cans. He lifted his 400 pound frame off his bed wondering how many women he’d be able to harass on Xbox Live today when just then he remembered: today was the day. Today was the day he would finally get a chance to debate Christian sheep and slay their god in heaven. Excitedly, he got on his disability scooter and then into his 2007 Toyota Corolla. He drove to the hospital, scoffing every time he saw a crucifix bumper sticker and made sure to situate his fedora before he got out, parking in between two disability slots. When he entered, he got his camera ready, and going up to the third floor he thought “Reddit, the last enlightened place on Earth, will finally give me the attention I deserve and recognize me for my intelligence.” He entered into the room where his grandmother was lying and drawing her last breaths. A priest was standing next to her along with her children and grandchildren, anointing her and hearing her last confessions. “This is it,” he thought, “this is where I own those religiotards and achieve victory for atheism.” He boldly walked right next to his grandmother’s side and just as the priest said “may God bless your soul,” he bravely rebutted with “but there is no god to meet you in heaven. None of it is real. Your sky daddy won’t save you this time.” His grandmother looked on him in shock, opening her mouth. But then she slouched and a long beep was heard and her mouth remained wide open. “Yet another victory for atheism,” he said, looking at his family members who were stricken with faces of horror. “I’m sure they’ve finally realized their God is dead.” He opened Reddit, excited by the prospect of the karma he was going to get by posting the video he took on r/atheism.

Im an atheist, but I'm appalled when I see someone demonize someone else's religion, especially out of nowhere. I generally keep a rule to not even bring up religion unless somebody else brings it up first, and even then, its important to be polite, open-minded, and contribute to the conversation (it also applies to politics as well). Even if nobody changes their mind, it can still be civil and lead to more knowledge for all parties.

i'd honestly love to see the comparison of what amount of atheists actively oppose religion vs. just not believing it. i appreciate the christian values i grew up with. and i'd rather live in a christian society than an atheistic one. i simply detached from the scripture and left the rest. this is something where ultimately it doesnt negatively impact me what others believe, unlike other issues where people are being idiots thinking that you owe things to people youve never seen in your life.

Yes, but even then the arguments for theism are pretty good. I'd recommend checking the transcendental argument. The best versions of it are by Jay Dyer, but to understand his whole argument you gotta go a bit more into detail, tho he holds open debates for anyone to try and refute him every week. Or the verion by the church of the eternal logos (it's the name of the Channel )@user-mt2yc3uk3y.
Either way IMO atheism still has a lot of issues even historically on their denial of the reliability of the gospels and the book of Acts. Most of their arguments (IMO again. Take this with some salt as it might be the Dunning Kruger effect, but may not be. I tried hearing the atheist side on this) tend to be from silence or some try to say thst these books were just copying other sources etc. But there's a lot of proof that they're reliable. If you're curious, I'd recommend InspiringPhilosphy's channel and his series on the ressurection, the reliability of the new testament and the reliability of the gospels. He's pretty objective on the evidence and when it turns out he's wring he fixes the issue like when he found out his multihour document on the exodus was actually wrong he took it down and then created a whole new one.
reddit athiests*
Freshman year of college I was going to run a DND campaign, and my atheist roommate was one of the players. He made it VERY clear that his character was also atheist, even after I said that there were literal living Gods. Even in this made up fantasy world, he couldn't just pretend to be religious.
and here we have the "I'm going to stuff my beliefs into my self-insert DnD character" player, that's a bad player more than anything else I think. I'm an atheist and I'm currently playing a super stereotypical religious good boi paladin because I just love playing a big kind boi that protects his friends. He also has a giant god damn anime sword because I have a fetish for giant god damn anime swords.
Dude was basically playing as Brian Griffin then
That kind of character could, if used by an intelligent person, be incredibly funny. Just imagine having a guy in your party that is actively denying the existence of divine intervention as his Cleric buddy is receiving direct boons from his patron, having to come up with ever more elaborate excuses to explain away what is happening and becoming increasingly frustrated and ridiculous as the team moves on to meet various gods in person. You'd have to be very skilled to pull it off and make the character funny rather than obnoxious.
Imagine someone could have a different thought process than you. Shocking right. You guys aren't doing the exact same thing r/atheism is doing. Lmao
All my DND characters have the belief that if it can die it is not a god.
I'm technically an atheist, but I never really classify myself as that. It just has the vibe of being a part of another religion / community, which I don't feel like I do. Just because I'm a "non-believer", doesn't mean I share any other interests nor world views as others who happen to also not believe in a religion. As shown in this video as well, this has almost nothing to do with atheism itself, but rather social outcasts flocking together in a concentrated place online.

Thanks for the info. I believe in God, but I'm well aware that not everyone will/want to believe and that's okay, I won't force them. What I hate is just how hateful, ignorant, and dismissive people can be with religion, especially Christianity. Everyone has the right to be/do whatever they want, I don't give a shit cause it's not my life, but holy hell some people love to make themselves insufferable while using any excuse they find to justify themselves. (yes I'm aware some religious fanatics do that as well shut up)
That's f*cked 💀
im atheist and i don’t accept that subreddit in any regard. i hate what they stand for.
I would like to give a speech to these people:
*"Fuck you"*
@@admiralprince7925 You dropped this bro 👑
dealing with reddit athiests in highschool was the most insufferable thing.
Emos and goths are just as bad.
Is there any compelling logical reason in believing in supernatural objects though?
What high schools are you all going to? I'd never openly tell people that I've ever used Reddit
@@Wabbelpaddelis there any compelling reason to act like you have a stick up your ass to people that do believe that though? Reddit atheists aren't just atheists.
@@Wabbelpaddelbecause, the supernatural does exist, this whole universe itself is very supernatural, so I believe in god
Given that atheism in itself doesn't require you to do much, any group dedicated to talk about it all the time will probably run off the rails
I think not doing much is kind of the point here. Imagine if you actually had to achieve something to prove your intelligence! Would be very difficult for 14 year olds.
excellent point. Their whole thing is that it doesn't exist. SO what is there to discuss?
@@drek273 a lot of what that sub talks about is the crimes committed by religious people. It’s important to stop oppressive regimes that commit SA against children. If you disagree than you’re a chomo
Not that atheism necessarily _began_ as a joke, but the sheer length of talks about it can end up coming across as the comedian who adds to the joke when it should have been left at the punchline.
@@charmandyorton006 Never in my life heard an atheist talk about atheism. Everyone just are atheist. No need to talk about it. Only ones who bring it up are religious people.
So to me it seems it's more about the majority vs the minority. In countries where people are religious some atheists will try and make their voices heard, and on reddit you know the type. In countries where atheism is the norm - the opposite.
Like for me being atheist, it's about as important to me as the fact that I don't like celery. Not something I even think about or even less feel an urge to talk to anyone about.
Imagine getting butthurt at someone for telling people "have a blessed day".
Or getting so annoyed at hearing “bless you” that someone writes a borderline novel of a post going on about how much they hate the phrase.
@@darylesells19 I said "thank god" in a comment section and someone decided to write a two-paragraph long lecture about spaghetti monsters from outer space and doctors.
I still do it solely because they go into a shitfit and i get many keks out of it.
depends how it was said.Some people can be patronizing.
@@aporue5893 Everything is about context and how you say things/what your intentions are. And in most cases you can’t tell other people what their intentions are, if they say they didn’t mean it in a patronizing way then that’s that.
Every atheist has said at one point in their life "oh my God"
Checkmate
not if they speak another language
Tbh I'm an atheist but I still say that Idk why but I wish we could all respect each other's beliefs and religions it makes me sad to see these horrible people
It's a very cultural thing to say.
Don't be sorry. Reddit isn't real life
:Coping:
Shhh, don't reveal our secrets.
I remember there was a post about someone who used a Bible page to smoke weed
It was honestly pathetic
Damn he really owned the Catholic Church
Maybe just misunderstood what "getting high off Jesus" meant
People that burn things they buy just to spite others are losers.
One word:
Tryhard
Ok, ok, that one is kinda funny.
I think Reddit is just that way. As a Christian, r/christian is one of the weirdest places on the internet I've been.
Fr
If you really want to go to a real Christian subreddit, I recommend r/TrueChristianity
I once became acquainted with an atheist. All he ever wanted to talk about was his atheism. Every conversation we had, he would steer into why believers in God were deluded. He would even engage strangers with the zeal to rival any street preacher. He also kept referring to "The Flying Spaghetti Monster" as if that was comedy gold.
It's the same sort of thing with vegans, most of them are chill and won't bring it up, some decide to make it their personality
So they do exist in real life.
had an acq. like that too he would bring it up every conversation and insult the concept of god almost daily. it was ridiculous and needlessly inflammatory.
@@scottygagnon4287 no. all atheists and all vegans are just pure cringe.
@@thuglifebear5256 yes angry ones.
When I was younger, I did want a fedora. But it wasn't because of atheism, it was because perry the platypus
I unironically always wear a Fedora with my suit.
Somebody should make an ATHEISTS RUINED FEDORAS video
@@bloodbased I agree
Hell yeah
@@bloodbased More like anti-theists ruined fedoras.
Average conversation between a christian and atheists
"Hello"
"Hi"
"nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too"
I wish everyone was like that 😔
Underrated
Atheist: *tips fedora* nice to meet you
Sometimes it's like "hi,"
"Hi, I'm an athiest,"
"Nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too, I'm an athiest btw" or the other way around

No, there are a few things that were bad first…
But no, not that many..
@@kingmidasxynopyt Most of them
yeah but I'm Pretty sure This subreddit had it coming lmao

Yeah, most got ruined. A large majority. But y’know.
Not everything going in was good. Still, it didn’t come out any better…
as a non religous person myself its really sad to see what not believing something has been turned into
Same
I foresaw it all the way back in 2007. The fact of the matter is; Atheism is a religion, with it's own original sin, it's priests and holy people, it's dogma, it's standard of morality, attire, doctrines, orthodoxies and heresies.
@@joedredd1168 you got something more than religion to worry about who hurt you
For real
@@joedredd1168 Atheism is literally the definition of not believing in a God, and it´s not a religion, took me 10 seconds to google
How Reddit ruined atheism? The same way it ruined everything it touches
Try Telltale or Prothet of Zod then.
Or one of the other many good Atheist-YT-Channel.
@@nenmaster5218 thanks for the suggestion, but I'm good, I'm and atheist myself, but I don't watch atheism content, not my cup of tea

You know what they say, Reddit is a place where dumb people go to pretend to be smart, whereas 4chan is a place where smart people go to pretend to be dumb.
Impressive how Reddit somehow managed to make christianity more appealing than their own agenda
Not an Athiest but I can tell the trap they fell for, since they preached Athiest like a religion, they ended up gathering a group of basically annoying Preachers of their cause and ended up giving a reverse effect of what they want.
@@Predator20357 Like those Christian “Churches” in the Bible Belt which are nothing more than tax free propaganda centers for the Republican Party that scare away youths because of their conservative and often hypocritical stances on the Bible and/or their constant need to infuse politics into their sermons
Nothing makes christianity more appalling than their own agenda. On the other hand, people on Reddit ruin their own cause. So this is not surprising.
Chrisianity makes up one 1/3 of the world's population, Reddit is used 90% by americans and americans make up less than 3% of the world's population, so reddit has nothing to do with the appeal or spread of Christianity as a whole, it is just that atheists are a minority of angry male westerners for the most part and the internet is the only place where minorities can be vocal (etc feminists, atheists, veganistcs)
Chrisianity makes up one 1/3 of the world's population, Reddit is used 90% by americans and americans make up less than 3% of the world's population, so reddit has nothing to do with the appeal of Christianity since nobody cares about reddit outside of usa
Kinda ironic how reddit Aethists say science and religion Can't go together while religious people have contributed more to science than they ever will
Ok so your argument is a Fallacy?
And Relgion has ltierally batled and held-back Scienced for us all to see
and its well-documented? oh, ok!
@@loturzelrestaurant I think he meant specifically r/atheism users.
Thats true, but sadly many religious people are against science currently
Not all but some.
@Joxar theres no such thing as scientific fact though, its not a real term that scientists really use. And scientistic theories need evidence to be considered as theories.
And we know that evolution has taken place, we don’t know the exact “pathway” that creatures took
@Joxar how exactly?
True story: I was told to go shed my religious beliefs by going to r/atheism, where all my beliefs would be shredded and I would finally see the truth. I actually went, and wouldn't you know it, the VERY FIRST POST I saw was the AALewis post.
Spoiler: still Christian
Anyone who has half a brain sees atheism and understands all it offers is the illusion of virtue while Christianity forces you to humble yourself before God and makes you attain virtue through action. People seeped in modernity are terrified of the idea that to become virtuous you must BE virtuous.
@@Fishdogpigsquirrel It's not about what the belief or lack there of brings to your life, it's simply about whether the belief is true or not. At least in the eyes of someone who cares more about truth than how truth makes them feel
@@Fishdogpigsquirrel Yeah, you're the type of person that r/atheism was talking about all the time. You can attain virtue in any virtuous way, you do not have to limit yourself to being present in front of an omnipotent being to become virtuous. People seeped in modernity are more able to easily understand their wants and desires and are more able to easily change to take on such virtuous traits.
@@professionalfangster1510 Your whole understanding of virtue comes from Christianity whether you like it or not. Sorry, not sorry.
Shed? Would be shredded? See the Truth? I’m not an Athiest but I presume Athiesm should not use words that make them sound like a Religious Zealot or a Cult Leader.
I know I’m late but I went on the Reddit earlier today and someone was asking for more atheist rights like atheists don’t have rights 💀
They think everyone’s out to get them truth is no one wants them
These people annoyed me so much that I became an edgy Christian who embodied just about all the negative traits of these people but as a Christian instead.
I think deleting my reddit account back in 2020 was one of the best life choices I have made.
I deleted my Reddit account the beggining of this year and my mood improved drastically, as I spent way less time scrolling through meaningless arguements and comment sections there. That place is such a hive mind everywhere, I'm pretty sure half of the redditors are actual bots.

“I am open to any and all criticism”
The entire internet really, really took him to heart.
But what surprised me that people didn't criticise the other dude before, the one who was 17 and wanted to remove religion completely by studying two university degrees.
One of the most underrated criticisms is of the "Professional quote-maker," line.
Like, he's proclaiming that he's so much smarter than religious people, while also apparently thinking that making up quotes is a job or something. Like, he thought that there were people who just make up quotes.
That's just incredibly stupid. Did he think that Einstein sat at his desk all day staring at a piece of paper until he got a great idea for a quote, wrote it down, and sent it out to the quote office where it would be distributed far and wide? How did he think quotes worked?
The word he might have been looking for was aphorist, but he was sadly too euphoric for that kind of lexicon.
When I was at my most vulnerable and easily influenced age, reddit almost made me both a cringe atheist AND A FURRY. Can you imagine such a horrible fate? Thankfully I didn't fall.
Sadly, I fell fate to both of those 😔
@@chiefbungalow Thanks, but no thanks :)
This thread is absolute gold.
Bruh, as an atheist, i dont think furries are bad, but the uwu gay furries, are complete cringe

My friend is atheist, and I’m catholic, but I don’t follow a lot of the traditions. He jokes about how his beliefs are made fun of all the time, and I do the same.I honestly don’t care, and he doesn’t either, but old teachers and my grandparents constantly tried to tell me I’d go to hell if I was friends with him. I respect him, but Reddit atheists are really hard to respect.
I love how hypocritical people on this subreddit are when they claim that all religious people are ignorant and hateful despite also being ignorant and hateful to religious’ peoples viewpoints.
Right, perfectly explained.
Just straight up dumbassery and hypocrisy
Not just reddit... all social media. All I have left is You Tube and I still get this garbage in my feed no matter how many times I click don't recommend. A stupid game of wak-a-mole. This is the first one I clicked one in years because the title honestly triggered the ever loving frak out of me. The clear and proud narcissism in this entire segment of the human population is what brings the over all dialogue down and spread complete and total BS to young impressionable minds. Cancel culture really needs to hit these dorks hard.
But what if the religious peoples viewpoints are ignorant and hateful? Like for example their views on abortion or LGBT+ people?
@@Plupert Non-religious people can also have those same beliefs. I’m not religious, yet I’ve noticed that there are similar amount of Christian homophobes and atheist homophobes. Its just that Christians are more outspoken about it.
Yea, we should be more tolerant of Nazis. Don’t know why ignorant and hateful Jews are so against Nazi viewpoints.

“When you make it your entire personality...” This is the problem with most of the insufferable people one might encounter on the internet. And real life for the matter. Things like (stances on) religion and politics should not define a person’s entire existence.
Exactly if being an atheist is a personality I am automatically assuming you are worthless

My Dad is unaware of our younger generations disdain for fedoras. He owns one himself and he likes to wear it when he has people over at his place or to casual gatherings sometimes. I remember when he first got it a couple years ago I thought about telling him of the reputation which has been given to fedoras from generally younger people like myself. But when he put it on you could physically see how happy it made him. IDK what it was, but i swear it gave him an extension to his social wit and confidence. It made me realize that even though some people might see him as a fricken weirdo for wearing one, they have no idea of the Man my father is. So buy that fedora and wear it with pride, peace.
Let your inner Indiana Jones run wild
@@MrhellslayerzYeah why don't you ask me if I care? Yeah that's right go ahead ask me... [classic Jim Lahey]
I think that older people are free of the stigma anyways
I have to say, fedoras can be cool. You've just got to wear the right ones. Men's fashion peaked in the 1940s.
...As long as it gives that same super power like your dad. Don't forget that your father is from a different generation, and he is not letting any change his view.
