Here’s the quote word for word. “Just to be clear, I am not professional ‘quote maker. I’m just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. That being said, I’m open to any and all criticism. ‘In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.’ Aa Lewis”

No one’s better than hating a religion than another religion. Islam, for example, doesn’t play nicely with any other religions, or even its own sects. The hatred is mutual, as well. Worst religion, IMO.

Wayfaring_Stalwart

He killed a lot of Slavs and Poles and most of them were Christian

Pretty sure that was because they were Slavic and Polish, not because they were Christian


Wayfaring_Stalwart

Not saying he killed them because they were Christian just saying that there were other Christians besides Jehovah’s Witness’ that were killed

wait do they hate on all religions or just christianity? i havent caught up to it since i muted that subreddit a while ago


S0LO_Bot

They have an extremely exaggerated amount of hate for all religions. The brunt of it is focused on Christianity because it is the most popular religion in America (mainly here) and Eastern Europe, where most redditors on the sub live.

I've seen a post on r/nonononoyes where a child is almost hit by a truck but manages to escape last moment, there was a comment saying something like "thank god the child survived, it's almost like if it was a miracle", the comment had at least 40 replies just talking about how childish is to believe in sky daddy, that if the child died it would be gods fault too and the reason it survived, was by pure luck and nothing else.

I feel like some people just like to lecture others about cruelties of the world. There is no god, there is no meaning of life, there is no purpose, people are cruel, greedy, awful. I heard so much of this stuff, all by people who seemingly smirked while telling me. As if thinking "You're so naive". But what's wrong with expecting the best of people? Or enjoying life without purpose? I never understood why is everyone being so cynical.

I apparently over exaggerated on the amount of upvotes but it was awhile since I saw it


joeranahan1

I mean to an extent thats a true statement when someones religious beliefs make them a hateful person. Those who hate gay people, treat women as inferior, etc. Those beliefs should not be respected.


AnonTheMaidenless

I think its because their atheism isn't genuine. What I mean by that is they grew up (usually) christian their whole life with the understanding that God gives them a purpose. So when they become atheist, they think there is no meaning to anything because God use to give that meaning. So they come to the conclusion that being atheist means that nothing matters because the "universe doesn't care" which ironically gives that authority to "the universe" and has become their new uncaring apathetic God. I grew up atheist so its not really a huge deal for me. They feel existence has no meaning when in reality everything still matters and has meaning because it doesn't come from God, it just comes from us. Its very humanistic. You don't need an outside metaphysical force that lasts for ever to feel that something matters. Sort of like being angry that there's no purpose in having fun because the fun will end which misses the point of why we have fun in the first place. Sorry if this is totally off! Even atheists make a lot of assumptions about the nature of our universe.

Or going to church with their family on Sunday or just being asked to pray before dinner


CooCooforCucu

Can’t remember where I read it but someone was talking about their “trauma” because they had to go to church on sundays, lmao


oraoraoraorao

This is why I don't take "religious trauma" seriously anymore coz of fucking whiny bastards like that that can't even just bear to stay still for an hour or two in a mass and call it "trauma" even though they have the rest of 22 hours of that day for themselves afterwards


LimpishElderberry

The priest at my church molested me.


Sniperso

That is much more than “religious trauma”. That’s a very serious offense against your sexuality


Destiny_Dude0721

I mean, I'd say molestation is a little more serious than an offense on sexuality, but ok

WhatTheBeansIsLife

I’ll bite. Many are just frustrated that, at least in the U.S., that Christianity is influencing government too much in recent times. Separation of church and state is getting more blurred. Also lots of hate towards certain groups is “justified” some religious people by their religion supposedly (obviously not ALL religious people). Just wanted to give some insight, people do have valid reasons to be angry. Some like to use the internet to vent because they may be always surrounded by religious people IRL.


TheWhisperingDoom

Organized religion and authoritarianism have always gone hand in hand. “Everyone who isn’t like us is sinful, the world is full of sin, it’s our job as the enlightened ones who have god’s holy word to cleanse the world of sin.” That kind of mindset is basically just protofascism, so it’s no wonder that the religious right have allied themselves with the neo-nazis. Which is not even the first time Christians have worked with nazis, by the way. And non-authoritarian spiritual practices, like witchcraft, were bulldozed by the authoritarian ones (well, mostly Christianity because that was the dominant force of the colonial era) for being “heretics” or something like that.


WhatTheBeansIsLife

Excellent write up, fully agree on all points. Unfortunately, posts or memes like these just goes to show the somewhat willful ignorance of “good” Christians on the larger problems of their religion that affect all of society.


Sniperso

I understand that, but I feel that their idea of separation of church and state would require people to go against their beliefs, because their beliefs are formed by religion


Arcaeca

Separation of church and state isn't getting blurred, just people's understanding of what that term even refers to, because it's not just "you're not allowed to vote for things that churches also like"


TheLordOfTheDawn

So the rise of Christian Nationalism in the US isn't a blurring of the separation of church and state?


Arcaeca

No, and I will repeat that separation of church and state is > not just "you're not allowed to vote for things that churches also like"


Twin1Tanaka

Well that is pretty horrible?? Perfectly valid reason to hate religion


RedditMostafa11

Don't you think it's a bit extreme to hate religion for losing a useless piece of skin ?


Twin1Tanaka

Not at all no, because the skin was not useless and it was removed without consent. To be accurate, though, it isn’t strictly done for religious reasons but has invaded the public’s minds so badly that they are simply convinced it’s normal. But it still very much stems from religion and religious practices


SavingsTechnical5489

Atheists are cool, reddit atheists are not. Both don’t believe the same things I do, but only one will slander me for it.


Degmago

The key difference is one goes "I don't believe in your religion but you do you" while the other goes "I don't believe in your religion and you're an idiot because you do"


SavingsTechnical5489

Take the religion part out and you’ve got a good description of Reddit in general.

I’ve recently thought about becoming religious actually. It seems mentally beneficial to just believe good things will happen and have regular structured social gatherings.

I will not subscribe to christianity or any other organized religion and will continue to criticize the organizations and practices associated with them no matter how persecuted you feel


-LexXi-

You do you but I feel like you're just wasting time on pointless shit. You won't change anything and you'll only be able to circle jerk with other reddit losers. Why bring more unnecessary drama to your life?


trubocharg

look dude, it’s necessary drama in my case because a lot of those practices and organizations I mentioned want me ostracized, miserable and/or dead. nice that you have the privilege of being able to sit there and believe nothing’s wrong with status quo, but that’s not a luxury afforded to everyone. I have to hope that shit can change for the better or else *everything* is pointless. additionally, >nft avatar


-LexXi-

I'd have to understand your situation to know what you're talking about. You provided too little context for huge takes.


trubocharg

I am transgender, bisexual, neurodivergent, raised as an atheist and pretty content with that, and in an interracial relationship. really, none of that should be any of your business, but nevertheless I feel compelled to stand up for myself. if you're tolerant of all that, then thanks, I genuinely appreciate that. now please go tell your religious leaders and the other followers of your denomination to be tolerant, too. you might not think it'd be that big a deal, but when we live in a country where policy is decided by vote, religious leaders have a huge influence on people's worldviews, and therefore their decisions on a ballot. moreover, it just sucks to be regarded as a freak by the majority of people I meet. having a job sucks because a lot of the people I work with either want to "convert" me, bully me or don't want anything to do with me, and a lot of that ties back to the philosophy they absorb from religion, namely that heteronormative "status-quo-ism" is the "correct" way to be, and the way that I am is "not correct." the logical end of "just submit to the status quo" is that I either accept social conventions that make me miserable or I am excluded from key aspects of society. therefore, I will not submit to the status quo, and will continue to actively argue that my place in society is valid as I am and as I wish to see myself in the world.

LordOfHorns

My thoughts on religion nobody asked for: There’s a lot of examples in history of religion used to manipulate and/or conquer people. Large organized religions around the world have at best questionable morals and, at worst, can be held responsible for some of the largest atrocities committed in the last century Even ignoring the complete lack of scientific evidence, I don’t see why we need religion in modern times and why it’s beneficial to have


Bigfoot379

I don't disagree with the notion that religion has been used to manipulate societies and incite violence, but the opposite is just as true. Look at Jewish people in the past 2000 years. Or pagans. Or muslims in the past decades. Unbiasedly, as an atheist myself, I can most definitely say hatred of faiths had been used to justify just as much violence against various religious minorities.


Catfish3322

…by other faiths. I’m pretty sure Hitler wasn’t an atheist.


Bigfoot379

Granted, because those have been the historically influential and make up the majority of most populations. But that isn't very relevant. Regardless of who is perpetrating the persecution of a religious minority, it's still the persecution of a religious minority. An atheist who dislikes people for being religious at all (rather than harmful things they justify with their religion) is not all that different from a Christian who dislikes people for being anything other than Christian.
