Atheism isn’t supposed to be a religion, more like a lack of one. So why does it seem like 75% of all answers to peoples’ serious questions in the Religion section are just gibes about how their beliefs make them stupid?
I’m all for not passing judgment on people due to their labels but come on guys, you’re making it hard for me to think of atheists in a positive light. Cut it out. Let the other people be, you won’t draw anyone away from their beliefs by making them resent the people who hold YOUR beliefs.



I’m going to quit hanging out here. I’m going on a cross-country vision spree.
You don’t take atheists in a positive light because your own biases prevent you from understanding our arguments.
The default position is atheist: to not believe in God until somebody demonstrates that there really is one or more of them.
It’s really quite simple: those who claim there is a God have a burden of proof, and they offer “faith” instead, which means they believe what they have decided to believe and damn the evidence or lack thereof.
As for why we post here, there are various reasons. I do it because I want to help those who are still under the mental slavery of religion find their way to freedom.

You realize this is a public forum? Our disagreement with you on topics and debunking of your arguments does not automatically constitute “passing judgment” due to “labels”. We may certainly think you are wrong and say so without being insulting. Sadly, many of you theists do not seem to understand that distinction.
If you don’t want people with dissenting ideas commenting on your posts, don’t post in a forum where anyone with an internet connection can read and respond. That simple. Or, as my mother put it, “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”.
I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.
The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.
What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.
A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.
Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for Atheism ever conceived.
You are right. You win exactly never,and never will…………
i’ve asked the same question and you know what answers i got? more insults to avoid answering the question! i got long winded answers about everything except why atheists do nothing but insult people in this section and why so many are in this section when they believe religion and spirituality is false.
1) Atheists can’t really lose an argument. You believe in a Deity yet there is no evidence to suggest it exists. We can’t disprove God, just like we can’t disprove unicorns. However believing in something with out evidence is irrational.
2) Some think they can change people. It’s true that people can only become Atheists if their faith is challenged, yet some Atheists may take it too far.
Atheists = intelligent
Intelligent bored people look for dumb people to make fun of
what better place to find dumb people to make fun of than the religion section.
Actually conservapedia has some good yucks too, but it’s kind of depressing that so many people believe it.
well think of it this way…with every Good there is an Evil…
Its liberals expressing themselves like 2 y.o.s when they learn that a scream and a tantrum will get them the attention they so crave…
You’ll find most of the time its not even intelligent responses but sarastic quips and put downs…
Answer this: Why do bullies or how do bullies succeed over their prey?
What characteristics do most bullies have?
Why do they feel the need to belittle others?
Attempting to make someone feel small also creates a sense of insecurity in the victim…when in reality it is the bully who’s most insecure, lost and like a 2 y.o. crying for attention…
It seems to me the atheists want, no demand, to be heard and many are simply unable to listen so escape-ism into this sodo-reality (yahoo R&S) is therapy for their frustrations.
As to the atheist criticism of Christianity and christians; most ( I know i do) see it as adolescent and impotent.
Have a nice day.
Sometimes I wonder what constitutes evidence, and why its a requirement.
Sometimes I wonder what the feeling of faith is and why it might be a requirement.
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is.
I think everyone hangs out here because we hope to find a little wisdom that we never thought of before.
In my defense, I have no life!
But something you need to know… most atheists on here, are NOT like this in real life (or lack of one, like me.) Most probably have families, kids… maybe a women tied up in their basement…
but they aren’t bad people! They are probably just bored!
…and it is really quite fun… seeing so many theists or Christians get upset over an obvious Troll.
Can’t see that in real life!
I’m in here because it Religion and Spirituality. I’m a spiritual atheist, which gives me a right to be here,
“I’m all for not passing judgment on people due to their labels…”
Says the guy passing judgement on people due to their labels.
maybe id you stopped addressing so many questions to atheists.
and im here cause its the most active category, and so many fun answers
Why do doctors hang around hospitals? We go where we are needed.
ADDENDUM
“when I ask for evidence about God[...]”
Hey, Artie. Got any of that evidence, yet?
Right on! I figured there was something wrong when I ask for evidence about God and 24 people tell me I’m stupid within the first minute…

Why do humans hang around in the Cats section?!
*drink*
Last I checked, this was an open forum.
We are all free to throw in our two cent’s weather you want to hear it or not
Xian chicks are easy.
They have been hanging around here ever since they got kicked out of the cat section for not being cats.
edit: This may surprise you but as a Christian who frequents this site, I have come to appreciate the question and answers given by atheists. Many of them are very well versed in biblical beliefs and will challenge you and force you to re-examine your own beliefs. In the end you will become a stronger Christian because of their contributions.
You have to understand the other side. I’m not Atheist, but Agnostic. We hear a TON of comments that don’t make a whole lot of sense to us, and some Atheists may see this as their chance to do the criticizing and actually be able to get a word in edgewise.
Most of the time if an Atheist or Agnostic tries to say what they do or don’t believe, they are immediately told how they are wrong and how whatever god/deity the other person worships is the only right choice.
I can’t tell you how many times I have had “good Christians” go on basically a rant about how I must be a bad person or how could I live my life without believing in God or trying to convert me right there on the spot. Seriously, I once had a woman who asked me about what church I went to and acted completely shocked & taken aback that I am Agnostic; she said, “but you’re so NICE! You had to have gone to church when you were little!” Like being nice automatically equates to Christian.
Sometimes, it’s nice to be able to voice your opinion and actually be able to get out a full sentence before being yelled at/treated like crap.
Because they have nothing better to do.
Here come the thumbs down!
If you don’t believe in God, why bother trying to convince others to not believe in God? What do you care?
they’re just trolling
Keeps them off the streets.
I come to laugh at fundies mostly. Thanks for your contribution.
They are all looking for a little religion ….but they don’t know it..
