They succeeded in spite of their religions not because of them.

So where are all the atheist powerhouse nations at? When most atheist nations get large, they devolve into authoritarian nightmares.

Applying old world practices don’t mean much in 2022. Most if not all of those civilizations employed slavery, colonialism, etc. but we all those things are abhorrent

The most orderly and productive countries today are often largely non-religious.
I wouldn't say non-religious, but non dominant religion. Meaning being tolerant/a accepting of all different ideologies rather than force ppl into one religion.

I'm pretty sure God wasn't in favor of previous civilizations slitting the throats of thousands of people if they weren’t Christians

People really think it's more likely that an all powerful being is whispering to you.. that's more likely than your own brain just talking to you.

You have to know right from wrong and if Jesus does tell you to do something wrong you have to argue with him.

If it's wrong then there's no need for arguing as it's not Jesus


Also you'd know Jesus when he talks to you, you won't be able to replicate his voice outloud but you know exactly how it sounds in your head

This person who tried to open the plane door.

Let's assume they truly thought is was Jesus.

Knowing it's wrong to open the door in flight is the top line. So if Jesus, Trump, Satan, Odin, or the Jeanie from Aladdin.. who so ever tells you the opposite of that, stick with what you know to be right.

Cause even when you're hearing the "true" voice of Jesus.. it's most likely your brain talking to itself.

Don't worry about what voices in your head have to say. Do the right thing at all times.

There's nothing 'old world' about religion. It was largely the religious who helped fight and rid of those practices anyways. During segregation, blacks weren't gathering together in atheist enclaves. They were gathering at the church. A lot of those against slavery where Christians who abhorred what they saw the slave going through.

Atheist countries have been some of the most murderous and authoritarian in history. Mao Zedong was responsible for nearly 50 million murders himself. Stalin for 20 million.

I’m not even saying atheism is the only alternative to religion, I can understand deism, spirituality, or agnosticism for example. But even then, atheist enclaves weren’t involved in movements like civil rights because a non-belief in god was an almost alien concept back then mostly due less advancements in science and education

And atheism produces some shytty people like all belief(or non-belief) systems but religious violence trumps that by a pretty big margin, whether we’re talking about today with terrorism in the middle east and west Africa or in the past with crusades and colonization from European countries.

Well considering you can still be killed or jailed for being an atheist in many countries today you can see how that could stifle growth throughout history. Most of your 'powerhouse' nations had to embrace secularism in order to survive modernity. State atheism, like science and technology, is a work in progress and in my personal opinion an inevitability.

Nations with a high percentage of atheists like Japan, France and Sweden aren't exactly nightmares either.

Yea good fukking luck opening that door in flight. You could get the biggest bodybuilder to try and they wouldn't be able to open it
This is because bodybuilders don't train for functional strength. A powerlifter could easily do it.
