where's the evidence or are you relying on faith for your belief that atheism will improve the state of black America?

I think the wrong question is being asked here then. It is not a matter if the religious can be pro black. The question we should ask is if we are in any position to reject the help of the sincere religious people. I have never met one but will not be ignorant enough to say there are none out there. Its is very easy for me to look at slavery, or how modern 'leaders' in our community like Sharpton and Jackson come from a religious leadership background and dismiss the spiritual altogether.
We need to be thinking about how we can use the ideas of all groups of people - all races, religions, political/socio/economic groups, different nations, basically any successful group of people. Let's think about using their ideas to improve ourselves. The path toward improvement is one of embracing the people who genuinely want to improve the community intellectually and socially. We need to reject the democrat/preacher ask for a handout and take from the community leadership we have had such as kwame kilpatrick and Sharpton. Not because of their religion, but because they have no incentive to want us to be better.
We need to identify people who actually care about the cause. We can not afford to exclude based on religion or include those among us that are solely self interested. And we need to do it smartly. I'm worried the lower class doesn't have many leadership choosing mistakes left before complete obscurity.
Abandoning religiosity, in addition to all other forms of superstition and irrationality help to improve the state of mental health in the black community

of course it does, by nature it doesnt progress.
I do think religion holds back humanity in general though.
what the fukk else do we still believe that we share with people from 1500 years ago?nothing. nothing except that fear
Ours. I see you edited your post. Our ancestors escaped and went to churches singing the spirituals we have and sing today. They went to the houses of others relying on their love and charity.
They used code words found in the scriptures of the Bible. Our ancestors worked harder than we do weather by force or by choice. They prayed to God to be delivered from slavery they believed in Jesus.
Even the guy who wrote the song Amazing Grace (good read) knew enough to thank God for getting himself out the mess he was in.
Let's speak on another issue about 'control'
many of these atheists here love talking about control and how the slavemasters used it to control black slaves, but conveniently ignore the racist origins of many policies they support which derived from atheist racists. How about we talk about the millions of black lives extinguished at the hands of abortion and how it is on record that Margaret Sanger is a racist and wanted Planned Parenthood to help cull the black population? Do you think these white racist atheists look at you as the same level as them? Instead of the Bible, they will cite inferior, subpar genetics and the need to cleanse the gene pool.

Doesn't mean god exists
there are no code works in the bible.

Oh ok.
my stance on abortion has nothing to do with if there is a god or not.
You might as well ask if atheism says what my favorite salad dressing is
Eugenics has nothing to do with atheism
fukking idiot
Didn't Pot, Stalin, Lenin and Mao do the same for their respective communities? The greatest deaths in human history have come under atheist regimes.

They instituted state religions where-by they were revered as deities themselves.
Abrahamic religions aren't the only ones on the block.
AND EVEN STILL, this does not support whether or not your god exists.
You might as well admit you don't even believe in your own fukking god since your only reason for believing is that you think it matters, not that it exists.
I'm talking about Muslim extremists, there's a big difference. just because ISIS is made up of extremists doesn't mean they represent all Muslims.
I'm not dividing anything, my idea is to use ALL of the resources available in the Black community, regardless of what those people believe in.
You mean asking me to get pissed at stupid things a 14 year old said 6 years ago?
Neither. He was a black guy who sold slaves. He became a slave because he thought he was so high and mighty on his own. Some white guys caught him without his papers (he didn't think he needed them) and they sold him. It really is a good read.
