Because it's absurd to ask someone to ask someone to prove that something doesn't exist when there's no proof for its existence in the first place
Why are atheists so obsessed with religion?

You guys push your BS onto other people, you also speak as if your fairytales are fact, you also let it impede societal improvement(stem cell treatments etc.)
And you guys also brainwashed Africans into being docile and hating themselves, after whites exploited Africa to the fullest.

Yes this is such a tired argument.Because it's absurd to ask someone to ask someone to prove that something doesn't exist when there's no proof for its existence in the first place
You can not directly disprove the existence of something in the physical world.
"Prove to me that pink unicorns/magic ants/loch ness/big foot doesnt exist" - you can't.

See, so sensitive. Like a female
I wasn't talking about MLK or Malcolm X or their accomplishments. I was talking about the behaviors of black christians vs black muslims today with regards to race. Half my family is christian and my last girl was one too. I've also been to mosques all over DFW and houston and the title belt for delusional beliefs about white people is wrapped firmly around the waists of black christians.
Not giving islam a pass, just giving credit where its due in one area.
Not true.Well most of them believe if religion didn't exist the world would be perfect

Correct. You can't prove a negative.
It's part of what amazes me about religion in general. No one believes the tooth fairy, spiderman, -insert other mythical character here- exists. However, a particular God does, even though there's also been a huge variety of Gods throughout the existence of our species.
It just goes to show you how powerful the fear of the unknown (i.e. 'afterlife') can be. A tool that, unfortunately, has been used for an incredible amount of personal gain. At least as much as the utilitarian purpose it could potentially serve.

As an atheist. I ALWAYS found that Christians are the idiots that try to ram that slave religion down people's throat all the time. I honestly never had anybody come up to me saying you shouldn't believe in God or saw anybody protesting religion. But you see these things done 24/7 with Jesus freaks.

Atheists and religious folk both believe in their own lines of thinking, which is totally fine.
The thing is, if an atheist sees a book saying 2+2 is 3, they'll use evidence and be like, "here are two sets of two objects, count them and you have four, not three. So your answer of three is incorrect." (it's not always as straightforward, and there are many a$$hole atheists who are arrogant and think believers are stupid. I'm guilty of that myself on occasion.)
Whereas if a believer looks in the Bible or other religious text and sees the phrase (as an example), "And the Lord said, put two and two together and you have three. My word is divine." they would somehow try and justify it. Many wouldn't even question it. They would analyze it, question it, but ultimately believe it. (of course, not all believers are this naive and things usually aren't as straight forward)
It appears that one of the many unspoken tenets of religion is to follow without question. To discourage doubt is to enforce ignorance, in my opinion.
Conversely, science encourages doubt and skepticism. Not blind skepticism, but measured and calculated doubt. Should you be of the opinion that an established fact or concept or hypothesis is incorrect, perform experiments, collect data, analyse the results gathered and repeat them until your sample size is swole and your theories are credible and available for peer-review. it is essentially a self correcting method of bullshyt removal and fact collection. Granted, within the realm of science there are fools and corrupt scientists and other obstacles, but it seems to be better than basing lifestyles, life decisions, laws and other important aspects of life on one book. One book of which there are many, many editions. I have found that in life, there is only one version of the truth, only multiple versions of lies.
Religious texts directly contradict established facts and laws of nature too much for me to personally subscribe to the concept of a higher power.
And if we aren't to take religious texts literally how are we supposed to interpret them? As mere guidelines to follow and ignore at a whim?
I feel religion isn't compatible with the constantly evolving macrocosm that is human society.
At the end of the day, however, I will respect one's entitlement to believe in whatever they wish.

ricky gervais is the biggest athiest there is now, he spends alllll his time talking about god and religion. this is a man who said 'he doesnt want children because they dont give you anything', this is a man who is xenophobic and refuses to marry his long term partner because of the religous aspects.
you think athiest arent disabled and bitter, then why obsess about something to show you thought you found a logic greater men than yourself have seen and still humble enough to give thanks for the blessings we have through life.

I would ask you: Why can't y'all just believe and stfu? All up in politics and the media, shouting out your love for your deity and demanding that all others follow suit, crying victim at every slight while carelessly bashing the opinions of all who do not align with yours?
