Can someone explain to religious people that just because billions/millions of people believe in their religion doesnt mean theyre right? via /r/atheism

Can someone explain to religious people that just because billions/millions of people believe in their religion doesn’t mean they’re right? If they base how true their beliefs are on how many others agree with them, it means they need external validation because their opinion alone isn’t enough. Apparently, religious people don’t understand that the entire world can believe something and still be wrong. Back in Copernicus’ time, everyone thought the Earth was at the center of the universe. It doesn’t seem like they were right. So someone please tell religious people that just because so many people believe in their religion doesn’t make it any more logical, credible, or true.

There is 100% no god. Every "spiritual experience" or "miracle" is just our minds connecting dots and creating meaning via /r/atheism

There is 100% no god. Every "spiritual experience" or "miracle" is just our minds connecting dots and creating meaning I used to believe in god but very quickly felt he was NOT benevolent. Then I spent MANY years of my life feeling like I was constantly being tested and punished by god. But after SO many years of torment I realize at the ripe old age of 36 that it's all because our minds are meaning makers. Life is inherently a series of coincidences, but the coincidences we notice more and like or dislike we attach more meaning to, and when they line up in dots that our minds can connect, we feel like it's God's plan. It's so bullshit and so many people believe it and are fighting and killing each other over their conception of god it's seriously one of the stupidest things ever!

Im pissed about America via /r/atheism

I’m pissed about America I need help my fellow atheists. I keep getting triggered and pissed about religious morons taking over the us. Idk what to do and it just seems to be getting worse. We are in one of the dumbest times possibly in history considering the science and knowledge we have? Does anyone have any advice on what to do regarding this time? I don’t know where to start or what to do it just all fries my brain to smithereens. Submitted August 06, 2025 at 01:04AM by NoBunch3298 (From Reddit https://ift.tt/IFJSAhY)

How people still believe in this in 2025 is crazy tbh via /r/atheism

How people still believe in this in 2025 is crazy tbh Sorry but how are we still in a world where adults believe there is a magic man watching them from the sky? Like, come on. You go to school, you learn science, you see space pictures, and still you think a god made everything in 6 days? 😂 What is this, the Middle Ages? I see people online saying “god has a plan” or “trust in Jesus” and I honestly don’t get how you can say this with straight face. If god has a plan, then why is everything so shit? War, climate, hunger — what, is that part of the plan too? But yeah sure, keep praying and lighting your little candle. That will help for sure. It’s like they don’t want to think. Just follow the book, go to church, don’t ask questions. For me it’s pure mental laziness. Using god as answer for everything you don’t understand. “Why are we here?” – “God.” Wow, so deep. Very smart. Sorry but it makes me angry. All this religion stuff still controls so much politics and laws, and it’s all based on fairy stories. And we are supposed to “respect beliefs”? No. If your belief is nonsense, I don’t respect it. Simple. Submitted August 05, 2025 at 08:19PM by Peachy_Princess706 (From Reddit https://ift.tt/dP1OYq5)

I am a PROUD Evangelizing Atheist via /r/atheism

I am a PROUD “Evangelizing” Atheist I do not understand why it is acceptable for religions to spread their messages, but it is taboo for Atheists to be vocal about the joy in a lack of belief in a god. I am very open and loud about how happy I am as an Atheist, and I don’t understand why that’s not okay but it’s okay for a Christian to randomly walk up to me to attempt to spread the gospel. Truly and honestly I wish more Atheists were the same way because many religious people do not believe we are capable of being happy and living joy filled lives, and I think that mostly has to do with the way a lot of us just don’t spend a whole lot of time talking about it with others.

How do you guys deal with the insufferable atheistaccusation? via /r/atheism

How do you guys deal with the “insufferable atheist”accusation? I was on a Warhammer subreddit, having a discussion that, I'll admit, probably hit all the neckbeard stereotypes, when someone paused to mention that “atheists are really insufferable.” It made me think. We seem to be in this era where being perceived as annoying or cringey is a worse offense than, say, being an autocrat, committing genocide, or launching crusades (by implication, of course). The suggestion seems to be that our lack of belief, or our vocalness about it, is a greater sin than some of the most heinous acts in human history. It's frustrating. It feels like a cheap shot that shuts down any real conversation. How do you all handle this? Do you engage? Ignore it? Or do you have some clever retort I can steal?

As a former Christian if someone tells you the Bible is a metaphor its because they know it doesnt make any sense. via /r/atheism

As a former Christian, if someone tells you the Bible is a metaphor, it’s because they know it doesn’t make any sense. When I was 12, I was part of religious groups where we did Bible study and worshipped God, etc. Ironically, it was when I joined Bible study and started actually reading the Bible that so many things started to not make sense (like Adam being made from dirt and Eve from his rib???). When I asked these things to the teachers, they would tell me not to take it literally and that they were just metaphors Jesus used to teach us things. But that makes no sense, because if you’re a Christian, you’re supposed to believe the things written in the Bible actually happened, not that they’re just metaphors. And I’ve noticed that many other people give the same excuse when someone points out how it’s literally fantasy that a snake talks or that Jonah lived inside a fish for three days and three nights. Now that I’m no longer religious, I realize how none of these things make any sense, but if many Christians themselves don’t even believe in the events of the Bible, why do they use the excuse that they’re metaphors? I don’t know, it honestly just seems like something they make up to justify the fact that they don’t really believe in the Bible either, or because they know it makes no sense.

Most Christians have no idea where their own religion came from via /r/atheism

Most Christians have no idea where their own religion came from One of those social media preacher kids came up to me on the street recently. The kind with a backward hat, a ring light, and a mic in your face asking if you believe in Jesus. I said no. He looked stunned. Then I asked him a few basic questions about his own religion. It fell apart instantly. He didn’t know that Paul never met Jesus. He didn’t know that Paul’s letters were written before the Gospels. He had no idea the Gospels were written decades after Jesus died, by anonymous Greek authors who weren’t eyewitnesses. No clue that Matthew and Luke copied from Mark. No idea the resurrection stories contradict each other completely. He had never heard that the earliest Gospel, Mark, ends with no resurrection appearances at all. He couldn’t explain why Jesus’s birth is dated to two completely different time periods in Matthew and Luke. One says it happened under Herod, who died in 4 BCE. The other says it was during the census under Quirinius in 6 CE. That’s a ten-year gap. One Gospel has Jesus’s family fleeing to Egypt. The other says they went straight back to Nazareth. And when I brought up the Trinity, he said it’s all over Scripture. I asked him to show me where Jesus defines it. He couldn’t. Because he didn’t know the Trinity is a post-biblical doctrine created by Church councils in the fourth century. Same with the New Testament canon. He didn’t realize it was the Catholic Church that decided which books made it into the Bible. Evangelicals claim they just follow Scripture, but they’re following a table of contents that Rome gave them. Most Christians have no idea that Paul barely talks about Jesus’s life, teachings, or miracles that Judas dies two different ways in Matthew and Acts that the Gospels can’t agree on who found the tomb, who was there, or what they saw that John rewrites everything with a totally different voice and message that the last twelve verses of Mark were added later that doctrines like the Trinity, the virgin birth, and parts of the resurrection story evolved over time But they’ll still tell you you’re going to hell for not believing it. If you’re going to preach to strangers on the sidewalk, maybe start by understanding where the magical sacred book came from. I seriously think the majority of Christians think “Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John” watched Jesus go around and then got together right after he died and wrote down everything exactly as it happened. They obviously just cherrypick feel good verses and have never actually read and compared all the wild contradictions haha. Jesus can be whatever you want him to be…. That is what the writers of the gospels and Paul did! Submitted August 05, 2025 at 07:27AM by Low_Crazy_7744 (From Reddit https://ift.tt/4nLSu3y)
