I'm an atheist and I always try to tolerate other people's religious beliefs especially if they are moderate practitioners of faith. But one thing I can't stand are religious fundamentalists who try to force their beliefs onto others. 😒
Amateur Professional I understand what your saying, it is annoying I'm catholic but you don't see me going around asking people to join. No! I respect people beliefs not matter if you believe or not, we all must respect each other because we all know it's just a non stop clash. It's best just to avoid problems.
Shhh! It's forbidden to have respect here!
The Centre lmao true
Amateur Professional what do you consider "fundamentalist "?
That boii Tony why don't you evangelise?
Atheist here. Free thinking should be encouraged not punished. I feel for anyone who has to hide it.
do people need to be free thinker ? you could live your life without being free thinker, you could escape suffering without being thinker or atheist , you definetely could fight your goverment oppression as a religious person , you dont need to be an atheist to be a good docter and something along those lines ...that exactly the argument atheist always throw at religious people but at those case they use God...
And addressing your comment.... why should free thinkers should be encouraged not punished? those who have a power ... they win wether through love or fear , these two values controlling human being in many ways .... not discrimating wether you are religious or not ...the point is you are no different to those religious people
Well thats not an attack but i try to argue ...
Nothing wrong with being religous. I know and work with them, all good people luckily and if on topic can share my opinions usually without receiving an angry or frustrated look. It would be hard and probably unfair to judge somebody about something they are born as anyway. We all have our good and bad in any group.
I was just trying to speak to the fact people are shunned, disowned and in some places persecuted and killed for questioning Gods existence or choosing another one.
It's just ridiculous if we think what we are fighting about. Taking old scripture as evidence in many cases. Trusting in prophets who really compared to us had not a clue how things worked, could have had severe mental issues, a bad mushroom trip when they "spoke to god" or likely were just manipulative people. Ofcourse we don't know.
I never thought some pretend god(s) we couldn't see evidence of or lack of belief in one was worth hating someone over.
Too long... Oops
@@jimjimson9124 "somebody about something they are born as anyway" so do you believe that much in structure? we cannot broke the structure ? Thats exactly what many atheist said ," they are religious because they are born that way" this argument is flawed because people beliefs constantly challenged , yet they CHOOSE to maintain it, defend it , and yet some choose to change their belief , including atheist to christianity or islam for example...
" I was just trying to speak to the fact people are shunned, disowned and in some places persecuted and killed for questioning Gods existence or choosing another one.
" this is exactly what my first paragraph addressed
Whats good and bad anyway ... you are no different to the religious people , you all just trying to protect what is important to you .... the different they are protecting their faith , you are protecting your body or heart or mind etc... You have different value ... and through your comment you try to interfere religous people value same as religious people .
"It's just ridiculous if we think what we are fighting about. "
And if you think about escape route the atheist , agnostic , and non religious people takes , its just ridiculous... How ? they cant even prove the good and the bad ... yet they choose to have faith in some form of morality that they cant prove that it is OBJECTIVE , they choose to obey that morales... same thing , your "god" is human life , and you build your values around that "god" same as a religious people
@@jimjimson9124it's too long sorry haha "Taking old scripture as evidence in many cases. Trusting in prophets who really compared to us had not a clue how things worked"
Depend on which prophet , my prophet knows exactly how thing works , he conquered the entire arabia , you know who is he, his people loves him etc, although some many people hates him ,but hey its just like when christian hate atheist who tried to reform society, your point about how they didnt know how things works is debunked....
Second , you said those prophet didnt know how things work because you expect them to follow your rule , your mindset,.... meanwhile thats the exactly the opposite of what they are meant to do , you are told to follow the One who make everything exist (of course this come to debate about existance of God , but thats not the point of this discussion ) , rather to follow your body , your hearts , or your ideology , mindset etc
"could have had severe mental issues, a bad mushroom trip when they "spoke to god" or likely were just manipulative people. Ofcourse we don't know. "
When this prophet talking about something that out of this world , and claiming it is true you better ask him , is this your theory? if he said yes , then he is philoshoper , no prophet is philosopher ... for example buddha , he is more of philosopher than prophet... If he said the other person told me , then of course he is not the prophet, if he said this is what God told me ... then it has three possibility , either he was liar , people with psychological issues , or he is saying truth...
I found in my research that he was not liar , or even mentally sick people (this is what his people accuse him with tho haha) , SOME people accuse him with those label , because they "enter the house through the back door" i mean they learn about the law , before even learn about God , meaning of Obeying the creator of all things etc etc or they just of what he teach , his people hate him when he reject , deny , defy paganism. about me i believe in it firmly , I KNOW IT
"I never thought some pretend god(s) we couldn't see evidence of or lack of belief in one was worth hating someone over.
"
hatred has many level , of course it depend on which people ... I mean you must be hate somebody who is doing something stupid or contradictory to your values , you hate it but you just hope those people leave that , well thats no different to me... and your point is comeback to the" what is good or bad "
@@tristan4611 Why is it wrong ? bruh im sorry ... but you just take a step back in this conversation , my comment is literally address your comment now ... before deem anything as a bad thing lets try to discuss what is evil and good... your entire point is entirely religious before we discuss and decide what is good and evil , you just belief ... you said religious people doesnt think , here i think further beyond ...
second thing , the problem with overall idea that i can dig from your statement is that ... "if two groups fighting each other , dont take the sides or takes new side or create it , it just make you feel more true" ... liberal or conservative fighting each other , lets become apolitical or be centrist so on and so forth. thats the problem ...Thats because you are too lazy to decide which sides is true ... i mean some people , talking about how great our mind , yet they are too lazy to find which one is true... so they choose a side that makes them feel safe or ease ... your mentality is ... im really sorry ... sheep mentality or herd wtv .
that is why people in their song or slogan or stories keep telling about future future , better future, new , new ...
because everything in the past is always going at each other or deemed inaccessable , im not talking only about medieval era .... or they always condemn past becuase we are not in the past rather in present , so in order to make the present is better is deemed the past as bad , and present as okay... and to make ourself even feels more better , we deemed our future as best ... just think something other than ours is bad to make ours is better , and think something we may get later as better to make us work , stagnation is boring to human nature , thats it . you can find it in everyday lifes...
Anyway people didnt think something is true or think something is wrong because they bring their needs or idol , bias in , i mean like , you decide which religion is true based on how peaceful it is , or based on how it could progress the human being , or that can created the better place , because based on that’s why your statement " thats why there are so many civil wars and stuff" is wrong.... it because we have different value , we love and hate , you and i ... but our version is different , its just our core belief is different , hence our good and bad is different...
i dont obey my human nature in an extreme level like you
One of the good things about living in India , a multi religious country, is that we get plenty of holidays for almost all the religious festivities and other important days .😂 🇮🇳

As soon as religion is allowed to interfere with politics then the whole system is screwed.
Catholicism should take over politics.
Religion and (partisan, at least) politics are alike intellectually dishonest. That's why there's no point in a rational argument about either.
@@stephenvanwoert2447 They both lie yes, but at least politics deals with reality.
@@paulgilson2347 what are you saying? That all religions including Catholicism is false?
There has to be at least One True Religion that really has all the answers about faith, morals and the afterlife.
@@thegreatrestoration6784 Why does there have to be one that is true? All religions are man made, there is no proof of the supernatural so I don't know why you'd think any religion deserves anything.
To be an atheist in Saudi Arabia is the worst. I have to pretend to be a Muslim every day. I wish I could reveal the truth about who I am and what I believe in and live freely.
Edit: some clarification..
It is true that there is a penalty for leaving Islam in Saudi Arabia, but it never applies. The government leaves you alone on the condition that you don’t offend or say anything about the Islamic religion, anything that might upset the people. (In fact, the government these days has changed a lot of laws and is trying to change other laws as well, and trying hard to change the thinking of some extremist people. But people are still hard to change).
So, my greatest suffering is with the community, because it never accepts you. If you declare that you have left Islam, you can lose everything your family and friends and you will be ostracized. They will fight you in every possible way, you will never feel safe. You just can’t be different.
-Why don’t I leave for a western country?
I wish💔, but it is not that easy.
Finally, I would like to thank all those who sent me positive comments, thank you so much guys. It means alot to me.♥️♥️♥️
I hope that the day will come when the non-Muslim or non-religious becomes acceptable in Saudi Arabia and Middle East in general. Thank you again guys thank you so much.♥️♥️

@@epg96 The government matters, it's trash in china
You mean non-religious countries.
@@epg96 thats more of the government.
@@epg96 you cannot be serious. Switzerland and france aren't considered atheist or irreligious countries. Sweden having high suicidal rates is a myth, their suicide rates are comparable to other european countries; they have good paying jobs, educational system, healthcare system. So swedish people don't really have many reasons to be depressed, except the long darkness and winter that can last a long time but thats the geography of the place and people in sweden manage to adapt in it.
Estonia is modern, progressive, high income, highly developed and ranks highly on education, prosperity, quality of life, and overall human developement. Estonia though does have some problems with poverty but just like many countries, it has gotten lower and lower. And their suicidal rates are similar to swedens and currently dropping with them.

" 'Non-religious' is the largest religious group in North American."
Sure, just like being bald is also the most popular hairstyle in the world.
whats this terrible analogy? you are comparing a deity system into strands of hair
@@lillyie non-religious is as much a religious group as being bald is a hairstyle, eating nothing is good food and being dead is a lifestyle.
@@lillyie if they are non-religious,then why are they called a religious group??
Dogma = Belief = Belief = Religion
How difficult is that chain of reasoning to follow? And that bald analogy is so trite and worn out. YAWN

Freedom of Religion means, that a state has to be neutral, so that its people can be free to believe or not believe, what they want.
That's why humanism is taught and graded in US schools under the name of "science". It can't admit to being a religion and still enjoy its status as the only government sponsored religion. Skirting the Constitution by referring to it as a "science" makes it legal. Yay, comrades!
@@jamro217 What are you talking about? Science is far from a religion. It is a collection of observations based on the material world that we can study and collect data on. Science used mechanics and formulas in physics and chemistry to give us all the amazing inventions we have today. Religion did none of that. Science explains the natural world to us through our observations of it. Religion doesn't do that.
@@jamro217 Science is literally fact, because is pure empirical evidence acquired through direct observation and calculation.
@@jamro217 Got some examples of this happening at all
robert ?
@@onepercenter13 Research Humanism. It is taught as a science. Science itself is not a religion, but authorizing a Godless religion and teaching it as a science is the topic. I believe in science. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. Objects fall at 32 feet per second per second. No argument there. Mankind springing forth from apes and before that an exploding mud puddle is not science. It's a fairy tale. If you choose to believe in it, fine. Just don't go grading my child on it and using it to promote political agendas. God bless you.
Most Japanese treat Shinto as traditional. Some treat it as a spiritual practice. Few treat it as a religion.
Are you not referring to the current state, compared to the original one? For the most part spiritual practice is effectively equivalent to religion. Anything with a creation myth or gods is pretty much a religion. Shinto has both.
@@fromagefrizzbizz9377 Japanese doesn't believe in the Shinto creation myth, but they practise Shinto weddings and Shinto new years... because their parents did that, because their parents' parents did that, because... yeah, no, not religion _tradition_ .
On the other hand they are super-superstitious.
Interestingly, that's how many Brits treat the Church of England (Anglican Church).
@@istvanglock7445 Yeah, I'm atheist but I also celebrate Christmas, not because it's christian, but because it's a western tradition.

I'm also an atheist. Born into a Buddhist family but got educated at a Christian school becoz my family thought they had good education thing idk whatever. So every Monday, we go chapel and learn about Jesus and God and stuff, and I told my parents but they couldn't care less because they said all religions teaches us to be good, so yeah.

So they worship Celtic, Norse, Greek, roman Gods. But I don't really wanna worship something without truly believing they exist. So I decided to try go on the path of a secular Pagan. Because Paganism teaches us that nature is sacred and to protect it with all out might, and that's what I love most about it. Nature ❤️

But you're right I don't know how Swedes feel about it, so I would only talked about Czechia, which is atheistic and still one of the ten safest countries in the world. So its not problem.

Yeah it was good advice but you didn't follow it.

You seem to me like your an atheist, are you one? If so why did you become or decide to call yourself an atheist? What kind of atheist are you exactly? What really sells you on that?
Do you believe your life, body, family and the ground you walk on are all a gift or something else? If you believe they are all something else then what do you think they all are then?
@@evolutionisbull5h1t Former Catholic, now Atheist here, I'll happily answer.
"If so why did you become or decide to call yourself an atheist?"
Simple, I looked for evidence of the existence of a god or creator and I found none, so I decided to stop wasting my time with religion.
"What kind of atheist are you exactly?"
Agnostic-Atheist
"What really sells you on that?"
The fact that no evidence exists to prove the existence of any gods. I'll stop being an Atheist if enough evidence is provided that proves any one of the thousands of gods from thousands of religions actually exists.
"Do you believe your life, body, family and the ground you walk on are all a gift or something else?"
Uh, no, I think of them as just another human being that I have a connection with. A gift is an item that is given to someone for free, so I don't know how you think a human being can become a gift.
Also, your name is hilarious.

Athism is not a belief that god doesn't exist,
THERE IS NO BELIEF...
Lack of belief in god
which is a belief that there is no creator, and that evolution is true
Timothy
atheisem is the disbelief in god or the disputal of theistic claim that god exists
And evolution if factual.The theory of evolution may be faulty but evolution itself is a fact
no evolution is not a fact. See there are people who can be educated then there are people who are born thinkers. Most can be educated some cant and top can think for themselves. Evolution is statistically impossible. creation by randomness is not possible the number is like 1/ infinite virtually. A belief is anything that some believes. How many times has science said something in the past Like Newton only to be corrected by Einstein? So at the time they thought it was 100% fact but then we find out later they are wrong.

And slovakia is also quite religious
I think that the reason for the Czechs to be so non-religious is the fact that their historical leader Jan Hus, himself a priest, was so brutally killed by the Catholic authorities in 1415. This initiated a long struggle for national identity and independence, that lasted 5 centuries. The memory of Hus's fate is perceived as Church's betrayal, enough for the Czechs to keep the catholic church at bay. Many in Poland followed Czechs' example for some 100 years establishing a progressive movement, called "Arianie",. This movement was unfortunately crushed by the Church, just establishing Church's power over the minds of the Polish people.

Tony Mario .. Nice try Tony, more you 'talk' less you are convincing, except, convincing yourself. Why is God, assuming there is one, talks to stupid ignorant and superstitious? Since when is a purposeful suspension of logical thinking a good thing?

Putting the faith before the reason makes all religions bad in the same way. Your analysis of future populice is another thing, you or those like you, pulled out proverbial behinds and trys to sell it as a fact. You start with a premise .."there is a God" and everything that follows stems from that.
Do you realize, the book of babble, commonly referred as Bible, has been written at times when, we, humans' did not know where the sun went at night, what is an eclipse, earthquakes, floods, failed crops or locusts plagues?

Saying that atheism is the same as religion because 'you BELIEVE that God does not exist' is like saying that NOT collecting stamps is a hobby.
Lack of logic here.
Flacklp I work in science and am also religious. Trust me, if blind faith is a mark of religion, atheists are often fanatically religious.
Most atheists don't believe that any god doesn't exist. We can't prove that therefore the position is "I don't believe in any god or gods", which is different to "I believe there is no god or gods".
When you say "there is no god nor gods", you have the burden of proof for that statement. "I don't believe in any god or gods" doesn't have a burden of proof, other than maybe refute arguments made one way or the other.
Someone tells you "A, B, and C, therefore god", you tell them "no, because of this and that" and you refute that argument but didn't prove there is no god, just that that argument was invalid. Saying that "there is no god nor gods because no one can prove them" is a fallacy, an argument from ignorance. As is the other way around "you can't prove there is no god" ("I wasn't trying to" should be the answer) "therefore god exists" is ALSO an argument from ignorance.
That is called Agnosticism. Also, there are different reasons for atheism. Some go out of there way to say that there is no higher power and wind up falling to the same close-minded traps as the religious people they make fun of. Others firmly believe that there is no God because they strictly only believe in the probable, which is actually a big problem in some fields of science where you need to think outside the box, but also lets them not stretch the meaning of their conclusions.
That's not Agnosticism. Agnosticism answer the question "Do you know whether there are god or gods?" If you say "no" then you're agnostic, if you answer "yes" then you're gnostic.
Atheism answer the question "Do you believe in God (or Allah, or Thor, or Ra, or Quetzalcoatl, etc)?", and there are 3 answers: "yes," "no," and "there is no god or gods". Most atheists (myself in that group) take the second option and say "I don't believe in the existence of any god or gods", which again is NOT the same same as "I believe there is NO god or gods" (a position which could be called "anti-theism") and THOSE people have the burden of proof to effectively prove that "there is no god (or gods)", a burden of proof comparable (or heavier) to that of theist.
I'll refer you to Cosmic Skeptic or Rationality Rules for more info.
"Having proof of non existence of God"
Believers unable to get any rational proof of God's existence is a proof of him not existing in itself. Be logical instead of following what forefathers said blindly.

Legend has it that, on the night Siddhartha was conceived, Queen Maya dreamt that a white elephant with six white tusks entered her right side,[122][123] and ten months later[124] Siddhartha was born. As was the Shakya tradition, when his mother Queen Maya became pregnant, she left Kapilavastu for her father's kingdom to give birth. However, her son is said to have been born on the way, at Lumbini, in a garden beneath a sal tree. The earliest Buddhist sources state that the Buddha was born to an aristocratic Kshatriya (Pali: khattiya) family called Gotama (Sanskrit: Gautama), who were part of the Shakyas, a tribe of rice-farmers living near the modern border of India and Nepal.[125][60][126][note 10] His father Śuddhodana was "an elected chief of the Shakya clan",[8] whose capital was Kapilavastu, and who were later annexed by the growing Kingdom of Kosala during the Buddha's lifetime. Gautama was his family name.

True. I'm french and almost every person I know don't have a religion. In fact, a big majority of the youth is atheist...
Yeah here in Spain the Religious festivities are mostly a excuse to Party, there are some people that still belive but they are mostly middle age or elders
What, no Estonia? Il be damned.
I'm surprised they didn't talk much about it
estonia is the most irrelevant country in europe is why
Estonia isn't irrelevant. I go there for my booze.

It's in the top 3 - these people just don't even realize it's a place - typically western bias - ignores countries the United States doesn't have significant economic ties to.

You forgot about Estonia
Damian Duzel yea
true
Damian Duzel ... And basically the whole of Scandinavia! Very atheist countries!
Just come back from Estonia and Christianity is on the rise there
DEFINATELY
Religion is the cause of so much suffering and hate, I´ve always found the least religious countries as the most peaceful
It can be one source. But not always, and not the only one.
I wouldnt describe Chinas any north Korea's forine policy as peaceful lol
OK, then who gave us guns, missiles, tanks, nerve gas and nuclear weapons? If memory serves, it was not the Vatican.
North Korea?
@@Daniel-jm7ts That's true but also some of the happiest countries are the least religious such as Sweden, Norway, Finland
Why there wasnt Estonia. Its very atheist country too
"Less religious" than the Czech Republic, but not "more atheistic".
Ok
I am a proud hindu 🕉️
But
I definately say that
The World would be more beautiful without any religion🙏
Religion, in my opinion, was created to control people and prevent them from discovering, learning about and depicting "forbidden" content such as science.
Religions prevent us, as humanity, to dive deep into science and explore the unknown in our universe.
Respect everyone who is religious, regardless of the religion, but I think that there is no defined way of proving g(G)od's existence
Look at the world, the result of Atheism.
Prove it
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul one thing erased from this world is that we have the same believe, that theres no god. By that we can agree at some point

actually no, the GOvernment doesnt care if you have religion or not, as long as you dont create mass gatherings or disturbances
The Centre you should learn polite.you are so baise and rude.commism and confusionism buddism and taoism are combind is our renigion.we are free than your country.wlecome to learn our philosophy
It's not just gatherings that are forbidden, there are massive persecutions against Christians and Muslims going on in China. The communist party even claimed to "be making progress crushing Religion".
Lusty I live in Europe, here thankfully we are free to practice whatever Religion we want. I am not being rude or impolite as the other commenter said, but I find worrying the number of people here who promote a full blown genocide.
Atheism & non-religious is the fastest growing among the educated youth & the internet is one of the main reasons.
I agree. Its a beautiful thing. To see younger and younger generations with instant access to information and data. Its a huge paradigm shift in humanity that will lead to progress.
I am so happy to grew up atheist. My parents didn't care about religion at all :). One benefit to grow up in Germany.
@@Metacognition88 That's true I am 14 and I started not believing in god but it doesn't stop me from being happy.
@@Metacognition88 I don't think so. At least in Europe, former Christian and now atheist countries are becoming Muslim.

I just wish i can move to a country where i can say I'm an atheist and not be judged..
@N S you sound so stupid
@N S I present to you... the entire islamic world. Repressing everything from Christianity to Atheism to other forms of fecking Islam.
I agree with N. S
@N S Christianity is anything but a religion of peace in Southern Africa, every other sect worshipping fairy tales has a tendency for repressing others. Whether that fairy tale is religion, or the cults of personality that are China, North Korea and the former USSR.
@N S None in fact, nothing is ever absolute. There is likely always a slightly better explanation for anything we ever discover, but till then we make due with the most accurate explanations we have.

This is logically inconsistent. Practicing Roman Catholics outnumber people actively practicing religion. Catholicism is a religion encompassed by the set of all religion. So how can the percentage of actively religious be less than the percentage of active Catholics?
So I'm one of the 1% in the middle east. Ok :)

Mainly because everytime scientific proof shows religious claims to be factually wrong the religious leaders re interpretate their beliefs to fit or just choose to ignore the facts.
There are many religions all claiming to be right .
Logic says a more viable claim is they are all wrong.
@trollface • 8 years ago Its not a belief as far as I'm concerned its a fact.
Not really, they are partly right and partly wrong.
@Gaytony I assume you disagree with me, do you believe religion is wrong in everything it says in its hundreds of pages?
