and if you atheist/switched faiths, why did you do it and what faith did you choose?
im in a curious mood today :>
Agnostic Satanist. It’s basically the same as humanism but also triggers religious fundamentalists.
I also read the bible extensively and have a bible app on my phone with bookmarks to tell people how Jesus was most likely gay and so on. Most religious people didn’t even read their own damn texts haha
My religion is “keep your religion dar the fuck away from me”.
I believe in freedom from religion even more strongly than of religion
Atheist, but i find the myth of Lucifer interesting. A being who had feelings of becoming more than what he was. Then confronting his creator to declare he is more, and will not yield.
Organized religion is created as a mean to control people.
But we’re on a rock in space that developed sentient life… How the fuck ?
I firmly believe, with all of my heart, that religion is fucking bullshit
What do you mean “if you are an atheist, why did you do it”? I just want raised with a religion.
I am a Muslim, so Islam.
Wow, you are like the only Muslim here lol, are you from the west?
Nope, not the west, asia
Agnostic atheist.
Atheist, universalist Unitarian. Other people’s theism is just at the bottom of my priorities these days lol. UUs seem like nice people
Discordian
No evidence for God, that’s why I’m an atheist.
I’m an atheist. I grew up super religious and had a falling out with my church due to their “if someone believes different than our denomination they are going to hell” mindset. After that I found out that most other denominations are like that except for mormons but they are worse in other ways. Then I did more and more research that sort of caused what belief I had left to fall apart and now its kind of like Santa Claus, once you figure out its your parents putting presents under the tree theres no believing in Santa anymore
Taoism is a practice that doesn’t rely on or reject a higher power. It gives meaning to day to day life and the writers I’ve read who practice it have a very practical view on the world.
As for religion, I fall into agnosticism. I certainly don’t have any hard evidence that there is a higher power, but at the same time, with how insanely complex, terrifying, beautiful, loving, and hurtful the world can feel, I can’t help but feel that there’s something beyond what’s in front of us at play. It may not be a theist’s idea of God, but something else entirely.
I am an atheist and ordained dudeist priest. Because it aligns with my values.
From very young age i never felt i needed to believe in anything, spirituality felt like a part i was missing. my parents took me to church but i never liked the god depicted there and i found the crucified man figurine scary. When they told me that god loves me and that if i didn’t love him back i would go to hell it all soured for me. That portrayal of love didn’t make sense in my mind.
I don’t feel atheist either, religion feels very political to me, and atheism seems more apolitical than an active oposition. Where i live catholicism has a lot of power and it’s tentacles wrap around government agencies and institutions. There are weird cults close to where i live that are offshoots of catholicism ; These cults have international power and they have deep histories of corruption and abuse. I feel something has to be done about this but where i live there is very little oposition or regulation for religious institutions.
