What are you talking about? The number of people who reject religion grows every single year and will continue too. The trend is crystal clear.
thread looks much cleaner now
more sanity in this thread thank you.WhodatWhoadi
Naw
young'ns starting to wake up.....
I feel that. I only inferred that most commenting on this thread were ex-Christians because Protestantism and Catholicism were the main faiths mentioned. I agree, given that the survey data was gathered in Ohio, parts of Cali, and Georgia (GA is in the Bible belt) most families as well as members of the faith go about preaching the Gospel in some of the most hurtful, and often ill-intended ways. Christianity was 'pushed' on me while growing up as well, but I wanted to know why so I studied it at an early age. I didn't come to terms and fully accept the Gospel until I was on my own in college. From my own personal experience, I fully understand why most people turn away from God whether it be: internal pressure from their household and/or an unpleasant and persistence from old folks.
I feel ya. I am a believer. I'm assuming you may have had many encounters with other Christians trynna shame you and 'convert' you huh? I know quite a few atheist and agnostics- and that's the case for them.Always been an atheisteven when I was a kid I just thought it was like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny
I'm not saying they are wrong for being hurt/ bitter about it. Let me rephrase that- I say bitter as in: "Man that [insert random food] left a bitter taste in my mouth." Of course I believe the hurt or ex-Christians are justified. Although I firmly believe in God, I whole-heatedly understand that some other people (this applies to ex-Christians) have had unpleasant experiences with church members, false promises from church congregations, and even thieving preachers. I know that there is garbage and filth in the church, which causes many people to label all Christians and churches in the same manner as the ones responsible for causing them to distance themselves from the faith.
NZA
LOL
aside from the philosophical, scientific, and apologetic flaws, the youth have also finally learned that a shockingly high number of these holy men just want to dikk em down when their parents arent around. the more time passes, the more it seems that a lot of people are survivors of sex abuse and religious figures are one of the most likely predators.

It's good to see. I was anti-religion in the late 90's and I was a man on an island. The shift is finally happening.
Well we can look at secular societies in Northern Europe and see that atheism isn't innately a sign of progression.
what in the church do you feel should not be labeled as negative?
