Not everyone who follows atheism is even aware of the reasons they do it. Much like a lot of people are religious without knowing the religion they follow. People follow frameworks without really investigating them all the time.

Unless we are speakin in reference to somebody who grew up inna secluded wild forest somewhere wit no kinda knowledge about religion...I dunno bout dat breh.

All da atheist or non believers I've encountered have pretty solid foundation reasons for dem either walkin away from religion and/or not fukkin wit dat shyt from da jump.:francis:

This is bullshyt all people who are atheist don't have a united theory or thought that's part of the point in being an atheist we just don't see any evidence of a god based on empirical evidence.

Depends on your environment and where you grew up. People follow bandwagons. I know people who actually believe in God but don't profess any beliefs because they feel family pressure to be atheist. I also know people who aren't really religious who just go through the motions.

Social leanings can be a powerful influence on people's beliefs. I feel like you should be true to urself. If you don't believe, then stand for that. If you do believe, stand for that. Either way know urself regardless of what others think.

it happens so much in the other direction that this is a joke. :skip: there's not many black circles where rejecting god is accepted.

I don't think the two beliefs are mutually exclusive. Belief in the divine shouldn't result in mistrust of scientific breakthroughs.

I don't have to have people debate their personal understandings of their beliefs to have a conversation about religion and scientific connections.
History casually disagrees with you, religion undergirds people's identity and that is one thing people don't like to have challenged without the prerogative of rebuttal or to be offended:francis:

There is no evidence to suggest that we are not alone. Until such evidence comes along, why would I stake my morality on such a baseless concept? Is the only reason I don't set forest fires because I believe in Smokey the Bear?

You seem to think atheism is banal and bereft of meaning, but I am an atheist, and thus can tell you with absolute certainty that an atheist is capable of awe or feelings of transcendence you would deem "spiritual". Which would make sense because concepts of spirituality are a human invention.

But I'd rather have those feelings in the context of what reason and logic has revealed to me than attach them to some creator myths. It is my actions and the meaning I choose to attach to them that gives me purpose, not some higher power.
spirituality is what I love most about my atheism these days

to all the believers
try this for 1 minute
imagine if there is no God:ohhh:
Can you see what a f'ing kind of mind blowing mysterious trip the world becomes suddenly:ooh: ? wooooooooooowwwwwww:gladbron:
yeah...that's where I live:banderas:
I'm sorry I don't want to trade that for a magical man in the sky, whom I can't see or speak to and whom when described in relevant and practical details, to my logic makes no sense at all; in fact it makes me queasy:merchant: thinking about such a cognitively dissonant reality.

but I do love y'allz Christmas carols and religious classical music (ooh and take six), and that is another nice thing about being atheist, I can enjoy all that shyt guilt free :pachaha:

Prove Santa doesn't exist.

Prove the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist.

Hell, prove I'm not the Creator of the universe.

Believers are the ones who assert God is real so the burden of proof is on them.

You say "God isn't real" is a similar assertion.

Let's not assert that. Let's just put it like this then "There is as much evidence for the existence of God as there is Santa Claus. Therefore people who believe in God should be viewed the same as people who believe in Santa."

That sounds fair to me. :ehh:

Logically and scientifically you can disprove the existence of santa claus and tooth fairy, so your first arguement is already broken. How can I prove that you didn't create the universe, simply because the universe existed before you came about. So now the burden of proof is on me to proof that god (Allah) does exist which is very simple because Qu'ran contains information that 6th century arabian goat herder who was illerate could not know, for example the quran speaks about the embryologic stages of the human in which todays science coincides with, since the embryologic stages require a electronic microscope which was only invented circa 1926. My sincere advise is read the Qu'ran because it contains all the information which most athiest need answered.
