What is it with people these days that atheism is suddenly considered a bad thing?
Is it better to live with a psychosis, believing that you have a persona relationship with a sky creature that also talks back to you and helps specially you?
And no, most atheists aren't the type of asshole who would start jeering against a grandmother who just wants to be with her dead husband again.
What do you think is more likely, religious people disliking you for your atheism or because you literally call them psychotic?
I feel like atheism has always been considered a bad thing? It's more widely accepted now than it ever has been.
I totally agree it is the more logical belief, but, religious types not liking non-believers is nothing new
There's so many religious influence types these days that spend the entire time hating on atheists. They put out content like "ONE question that THE GODLESS™ CAN'T answer" and it's always something like "if humans evolved from apes, why are they still apes around" or something equally dumb.
It's always the type that sees science as the enemy. As if it's a competition.
Yeah but again, is that anything new? From my observations it isn't
People who need the existential fear of eternal damnation to keep from raping, assaulting, etc etc cant stand the idea of there being people who exist who don't need an existential threat to just be decent people.
I think the edgy and outspoken atheist Redditor archetype has had a negative effect on people's view of atheists in general.
I don't totally disagree with that view and I do enjoy memes like this one
Also because atheists are a lot like vegans. How do you know if someone's a vegan? You probably have to be told, because you aren't paying that much attention to what other people are eating.
A lot of religious people only notice atheists when they're being annoying. If you're a Christian who's not annoying about it, it's not like you're asking people to do stuff when a Christian would be busy, you're more likely to default to assuming they just go to a different church.
There's also people who take being told when it's relevant as a pushy annoyance
This and phrases like 'my brother in christ' are pushed heavily in memes as subversive religious programming.
I don't think this paints all of atheism as a bad thing, just satirizes militant atheists who struggle with the fact that others can peacefully hold beliefs that are incompatible with their own. Reddit's full of them, and they're the equivalent of the evangelizing Christian that jumps on the "you need Jesus" spiel at the first whiff of non-Christian views.
In my (atheist) opinion, the two are equally obnoxious.
Sir, this is just a joke.
