What a bunch of BS. Where are the facts associated with this. Look I understand ur an English teacher who hates America, but we're doing ok since u left.
-
atheists are just about the only non-judgemental people left, they dont care what religion you are. If the world was solely religious people who use their religion to hate, we would all be in trouble (more so than we already are)
-
Ur kidding right...this video basically bashes organized religion and says that Christians are idiots. Ok, no judgement there. :o
-
I find atheists self-hating miserable know-it-alls. Usually a drug filled past, ex hippie type. Dysfunctional, not very good at relationships, etc. BUT....they have all the answers noone else has. Amazing.

Extremely judgemental. "All you people are complete idiots, but hey, I'm not judging you".

91% of the members of the Academy of Sciences are atheists. You really think the US would be better off if all the atheists left?
And as unenthusiastic as I am about my work, I would rather do that than kill people in order to plunder for special interests.

Despite this the vast majority of scientists and intellectuals is composed of atheists. Huge generalisations you are making there.
-
I don't think that the main fact is debatable: In any country, the higher the education level is, the more atheist you're likely to find. If some atheists can be aggressive, it's nothing compared to the biggots you'll find all over the planet.

And assuming those who are not atheists are idiots is not a generalization? Nice try.

Not idiots at all if they are credible scientists...still how do explain that the vast majority of scientists and highly educated people are atheists?

Extremely judgemental. "All you people are complete idiots, but hey, I'm not judging you".
What is believing something without evidence? It's ignorance and stupidity. So they are right.

I'm Atheist and proud of it, religion is the reason for all the problems and most of the wars in the world..

Copernicus got almost killed for his work and I'm afraid you don't know much about Descartes' philosophy. He "believed"(by despair let's say) in God but he's the one who shattered the Christian philosophical principles which ruled his time.

Good video. Atheists unnecessarily get a bad rap

haha id love to see the faces of religious people when they are dead and there wont happen shit hahaha.

I'm not religious, but I believe in god- and so do most people I know. Proclaiming education is dictated by religious belief is completely fallacious. It's no big shock that 91% of the academy of science members are atheists because science and religion directly contradict one another. However, I guarantee you that other professions are balanced between atheist and non-atheist and I'd bet that the vast majority of most professions have a ratio in favor of those who believe in god. Lawyers, Doctors, Accountants, etc.
Atheists dont have the answer to anything. There are no scientific facts, there are only theories. You cant prove that one theory exists just because there isn't evidence of a conflicting theory. There is no evidence that there is no god, and there is no conclusive evidence that there is a god. I believe in god but I don't close my eyes to science and ignore other peoples theories or beliefs. Its arrogant and anti- intellectual to assume you have all the answers.

But isn't it a simple fact that atheism leaves a door open for new answers and new questions whereas religion tends (most of the time at least) to give you final answers. A real atheist should be an open-minded person who doesn't replace one belief by another. But rarely do you see religious people fond of relativism.

The balance is changing. More and more people are becoming atheists.

Agreed. Religion is final. There is no attempt to make improvements, whereas atheists are generally more scientific, admit they don't know everything and pursue more knowledge in an attempt to come to a true conclusion.

Cap- Any person who has studied philosophy will tell you that it is impossible to prove the existence of one theory simply by demonstrating the absence of evidence in a conflicting theory. There is no concrete data which tends to show conclusively that god does not exist. There is also no concrete data in the alternative which tends to show conclusively that god exists. The truth of the matter is that nobody knows.
Burn- This is completely untrue. Unfortunately, there are way more religious people than atheists in this world and the balance is shifting even more toward religion. I say unfortunately because the hideous Islamic faith is growing by leaps and bounds across the globe. A lot of this is due largely to higher birth rates coupled with indoctrination which practically begins at birth.
RZA: Dude- Not where I live. In the Northeast the athestists are the annoying, morally superior, know it alls. They paint all religion with a broad brush and refuse to engage in serious discussion about it. I agree that you should be open to all ideas. Don't think that the religious nut cases who live in Kentucky or Texas represent all people who believe in god.

Truth is truth. It's not judgemental. I can say to a drunk that he is a drunk without being judgemental right?

No data to show that Poseidon doesn't exist as well; what's your point?

That's more or less what I was going to retort with... philosophical statements are too vague and ambiguous in general, they almost never offer any resolution.

This is a false argument simply because most people have religion forced on them from practically the day they are born, whereas almost all Atheists come to their conclusion on their own.

If I know how much a person drinks I can say he is an alcoholic. The same way if I know a person has a religion I can tell he is being ignorant in that specific subject.
There is NO reason to believe something without evidence. End of conversation.

This is why people conform their local religion and not one of foreign influence. People do what they are taught/forced to do. Only the most intelligent and strong willed break free of this.

Utterly ridiculous.
Typical misunderstanding of the word ,theory, when used in scientific terminology.
A theory is not a guess or assumption when articulated by individuals in the scientific community.

I only mention it because let's face it, a lot of people in any society are going to be drawn to religion. Given that this is the case I'd rather have a lot more Christians than Muslims. Europeans who are proud of their secular societies seem oblivious to the demographic time-bomb they are sitting on.

Actually, being Agnostic is probably more logical than being atheist.
I hope there is a God... or something.

You got it all wrong. People walk around saying "god" exists because "he" hasn't been disproven and cannot be disproven. According to such logic, every unprovable concept must be true, given it cannot be disproved. Thus, I hereby claim that an invisible anus in the 8. dimension farted out our universe around the time of the event called "big bang". It must be true, right?
Religious people do not understand the concept of positive evidence and induction.

At least most Christians have moved on from their barbaric ways of past centuries. Most Muslims are still unfortunately far behind as far as beliefs, customs, worship, degredation of women, and violence.

And as unenthusiastic as I am about my work, I would rather do that than kill people in order to plunder for special interests.
Are they Practicing Atheists, or are they just saying that they are Atheist just fit in? Just like Christian (or insert any religion) there are those who say they are, just to avoid persecution or just to fit in, and there are the true believers. Just like any other group.
People are social animals, and group themselves. Just like Getbig, they have a common interest (Science or in our case bodybuilding), and just like Getbig there are those who don't really lift ( or don't look like it), and then there are those who do.

Most agnosticist are really atheist, but dare not admit it or do not understand that they are indeed atheist. This follows from the concepts of induction and positive evidence. In regard to every possible unprovable concept, are you atheist or agnostic?

The dark ages, in which various religious factions killed and suppressed science and knowledge, has been estimated to have set back or delayed civilization and technology 800+ years. It is still working to do so, and replacing it with teaching of the bible. Sadly they are still succeeding but thankfully losing influence.
I feel for people that close their minds off by falling victims to this type of infestation of the mind. They are usually told these absurd and preposterous assumptions "truths" as a child, unable to snap out of it in later life.
This is how religious factions work. How honest is it to pump a child full of religious propaganda before they even ask questions on their own?
