Your not exactly the church going type. I seriously doubt you have the clue of what they do everyday (aside from the (occasional infomercial). Keep basing your opinions around a building that is four centuries old.sergeriver wrote:

I'm not, but my brother's wife decided to raise their kids Catholic and I don't like what I saw and heard. My mother was raised Catholic too, and I don't like anything that has to do with religion.Kmarion wrote:

I think the number of atheists would stay the same. One does not need organized religion to believe in God.
If that happened, it'd encourage me to become religious, TBH.cpt.fass1 wrote:

No question about it.
The main protestant churches are losing members because no one gives a shit about political sermons, but people still have faith in God.
Why do you assume that atheism is increasing?sergeriver wrote:
What do you think? Seeing what mankind has done in the name of Organized Religions, is Atheism increasing because of these things?
As to the vote, I chose "stay the same".
People will believe or not believe in a higher being regardless of whether any organized religion exists.

Raise slightly. Nothing dramatic. A few thousand or so.
That would be called scientology.cpt.fass1 wrote:

lol this is the most brilliant thing you may have ever posted.IRONCHEF wrote:
I said drop because it's my belief that atheists are so atheistic because of bad religious experiences or simply because they feel the need to rebel against religion. If it's gone, so too will the atheist be...with nothing to fight against or have bad experiences. All their hate will then have to be pointed at something else...nature, seasons, people talking on cell phones while driving, etc.
Honestly, who cares? Atheists generally don't believe in God because they need to rebel. If they wanted to rebel, they'd pray to Satan to piss you off.
You seem to associate Hate with Atheism, which is a nice bit of insight into your character.
Is it that hard to understand that people just aren't convinced?
Your ignorance is showing. Scientology is a religion, atheism is not. They are not connected just because Scientology has 'science' in its name and atheists use science to debunk religion.The#1Spot wrote:

On topic, I said drop, because without theism, there would be no atheism.
