BlackI mean if the whole existance is there to praise and believe in him without knowing if he exists. There is s good reason why we muslims say the life is a test in the own belief to god.
MuriloThat's a very convenient way of thinking. Since there is no proof that something that doesn't exist... exists, people have found coping in saying that it's part of the belief. Only things that exist... exist. You can believe whatever you want, but that's just belief. Reality and belief are different things.
NikaInParisThat could be a factor but I think a lot of western atheists became disenfranchised with religion because of the overall corruption within the catholic church (TV pastors and megachurches) as well as the inconsistencies in the Bible.
MonochromeYoruIf they are praying for stuff, by definition they are not atheists...
Don't generalize people.
NAMELESS@NikaInParis Tv pastors and megachurches are protestant Christians though.
NAMELESS@BornInAbyss back when i was an atheist, what put me off was the behavior of religious people more than anything else. Too many hypocrites call themselves religious.
PeperLeviI am irreligious in real-life. I made this decision because some of my bad memories from childhood and growing up are of my mother forcing me to take catechism classes against my will, and I like to live on my own terms.
PeperLeviBut I do believe in things like the ideas of souls,reincarnation,and an afterlife for good and bad people,depending on what kind of person they were in life. 😁 You don't have to follow any religion to believe in these things,right ?
