Atheism is the fastest shrinking religion in the world. Atheism is in decline worldwide...

Atheism is the fastest shrinking religion in the world. Atheism is in decline worldwide, with the number of atheists falling from 4.5% of the world's population in 1970 to 2.0% in 2010 and projected to drop to 1.8% by 2020,

Real surveys and statistics say atheism is on the decline worldwide. Sorry atheists but atheism is not on the rise nor is it winning. It's still the minority and a declining one at that.

The Pew Research Center's statistics show that atheism is expected to continue to decline all the way into 2050 with a continued growth of religion. Other research also shows a huge surge in growth for Christianity in China which is currently the world's most "atheist" nation because of the atheist communist government suppressing religion, the research suggests that China will soon become the world's most Christian nation within 15 years.

This is simply history repeating itself: Christianity prospered in Rome back in the ancient era when it was suppressed and it still grew in the militant atheist soviet Russia when it was suppressed there only a century ago with the majority of Russians today now also identifying as Christian. Just goes to show that atheist suppression of religion still doesn't stop religion.

It's glorious, isn't it? I was surprised to find out Europe is still 91% Christian though.

good

when a large portion of atheists argue against Islamophobia, you might as well just kill yourself

Just according to keikaku

>Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardour of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old."
--Fyodor Dostoyevsky

...

As an Atheist I don't care, I was raised Christian and the values go a long way compared to other shit. As long you don't go full deus vult and put me in a fucking death camp we're cool.

Yeah. It is almost like most people don't even fuckimg care about religion and it is solely propigated by a very anoying very vocal minority that will publicly shame you for not getting on board with their program.

>atheism causes people not to breed
>I...it's not atheisms fault though

I don't care if there are more Africans provided they stay in Africa.

>t is almost like most people don't even fuckimg care about atheism and it is solely propigated by a very anoying very vocal (((minority))) that will publicly shame you for not getting on board with their program

It's (((the current year))) now goy. It's the opposite now.

I don't really even care. The more dummies there are around me the better I can feel about my superior intellectual position.

Not surprising, a lot are insecure neckbeards who pretend to be Christians now that they're being made fun of. Not me, you christfags ate like women, hypocritical. You claim to have religious faith and to practice your beliefs and then what? Browse this secular as fuck website? If you don't go to church youre not Christian, if you don't try and convert others you're not Christian, if you listen to secular music you're not Christian, if you have had pre-marital sec you're not Christian, the list goes on.

>Number of niggers, who are far more religious than white people, are breeding at an alarming rate
>This inevitably leads to an increase in religion

More feet for you to kiss, I guess.

Maybe you should read your OP again.
>in the world
>decline worldwide
>world's population
Obviously you do care about them if they're factoring into your projections.

No it isn't. We are still being told what to think by bottom of the barrel idiots with less than 90 IQs. If y'all want to believe in some ancient bs about how earth is 6000 years ild and flat them go right on ahead with that.

Why did you just make up a load of random nonsense that's not supported by anything in the Bible?

>if you have had pre-marital sec you're not Christian
Don't have to worry about that with the Christian edgelords here, user.

People who live in glass houses.

For people who are totally in control you seem kinda scared of godlessness

Now posts the stats for the US and Europe individually instead of worldwide

>If you don't go to church youre not Christian

t. delusional papist turned banana-fucker

The Bible is poorly written and full of cookie cutter bs.

Literally starwars post Disney.

As opposed to your favorite "redpilled" novelia I'm sure, which is a perfect work with nothing anyone who was truly enlightened by their intelligence could every criticize.

Christians almost unanimously are liberal pro faggot marxists.

I actually don't let other people form my opinions. I know it is hard to understand that some people are bot cucks.

>implying atheism is a religion and not simply the lack of one

>Atheism is the fastest shrinking religion in the world.
>atheism

Being Christ-like isn't supported in the bible?

*not

Just stop. I promise they will not understand and nothing will come of expressing such basic facts.

So you don't believe atoms exist then.
Or care about the medical opinions of doctors.
Or put any faith in the engineering of your own motor vehicle.

Brilliant senpai~

You didn't say "support," you outright said those people aren't Christians.

Good, no one is impressed by the atheism religion and their childish arguments. Have faith in your oblivion afterlife and shut the fuck up, nothing matters anyway according to you guys.

Atheism isn't a religion

There's a difference between "hey you've got to believe x because i/this book say(s) so, don't ask any questions just fucking believe it" and "hey i just found out that x is true, if you want to see for yourself I've outlined the methods how i came to that conclusion and you can replicate the experiment to verify my findings"

i can confirm

>So you don't believe atoms exist then.

You can do experiments yourself to show that they do. Also ther is plenty of mathematical data. Both of these point to atoms not being an opinion but a fact.

>Or care about the medical opinions of doctors.

Opinions have no place putting themselves near my body. Especially when the opinions are that little timmy needs hormones to be a girl now. However if the doctor wants to run tests to definitively show I have an illnes and then proscribe standard well researched treatments that is fine.

>Or put any faith in the engineering of your own motor vehicle.

I have no idea what so ever how engineering data is an "opinion" especially when the car is proven to work as I drive it daily.

>Brilliant senpai~

Yes I know thank you.

>"you've got to"
No one compels me to be a Christian. Nothing compels me to be uncritical in regards to my faith.

>you can replicate the experiment to verify my findings
Except you *NEVER* do this in regard to hardly *A SINGLE THING* in your life. And neither does anyone else. You take it on *BRUTE FAITH* that what other people are telling you is reliable.

You're cute user

This is literally stupid.

>no matter what you agree with me deep deep down inside. There is no refuting this

Are you me?

Don't let them hear you say that in Athiest church. It's all these losers have.

Imagine the smell

AS HUMAN KNOWLEDGE DOUBLES EVERY YEAR, THE AVERAGE PERSON GETS DUMBER AND DUMBER. YEP, BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS TOO FAST TO KEEP UP WITH THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT IS KNOWN TO AN INDIVIDUAL AND HUMAN KNOWLEDGE AS A WHOLE GROWS. HOPEFULLY THIS ADVANCED PIECE OF GREY MATTER CAN KEEP UP.

Brilliant reasoning famalam~

>not doing science for funs

Dude you are such a fucking homo. I bet you never looked at your own blood under a microscope as a kid.

Dostoyevsky is biggest cuck of Russian literature.
Even bigger than Tolstoy.

...

I'm sure you've verified atoms yourself senpai.
No doubt in my mind~

Show me your penis and I'll verify the existence of the atom.

...

It's okay Burgertard, just because you can't refute it doesn't mean it's "literally" stupid.

and btw, how can something be "figuratively" stupid?

>the bible can verify things for me, and I'll just trust it because it's totally better if there are *more* people putting blind faith in a poorly written book than their own judgment

>Masculine anxiety has been a crucial element of western literature at least since the creation mythos. When a writer tells a story involving men and women that also seeks to uncover some aspect of l'humaine condition, this subject will be approached in some way, in some cases more explicitly than others. Humans are social and sexual creatures, and also existential creatures. Think of Adam and Eve. They live without shame or sin in the Garden of Eden until Eve partakes of the fruit. This is her sin, but Adam sins before he ever eats. His sin is his concern with Eve's opinion of him instead of God's. His fear is that Eve should die alone, leaving him alone; that Eve should suffer alone, leaving him to suffer alone as well; that Eve should sin alone, leaving him to live virtuous, but again, alone. And so he bites as well. Like Eve, Adam is relegated to a world of suffering, death, sin, mayhem, torture, labour (of one of two kinds), fear, darkness, despair, anxiety, and terror, but this is a good thing: God would not allow it otherwise. In this instance of sin, Adam becomes human, capable of genuine worship, genius works of art, true love, feats of strength and unconquerable will. His life is imbued with meaning. But his sin also leaves him self-conscious.

>Think of stories about men devoid of the presence of women. Moby Dick, for example. This is a story of animalistic man. Queequeg is not self-conscious. Ahab is not self-conscious. Ishmael is not self-conscious. Nor is Starbuck, Stubbs, nor Pip, nor Daggoo, nor any other member of the crew. It's positively Nietzschean in its rendition of man. Also think about Blood Meridian, a bit darker than Melville's masterpiece, but in many ways the same story. The men are not concerned at all with their atrocities, they are not even questioned, until in Chapter 18, Sarah Borginnis arrives. She is not sexualized, not even attractive, yet, the only named woman in the story is the only figure who makes these characters feel any sense of shame or guilt.
>When you read cuckoldry in so many of the great stories of western literature, from the Illiad to Ulysses, what you are reading is the feminine reaffirming masculine subjectivity. Without at least a hint of this interplay, some small anxiety at the very least, man cannot truly be man.

Again, look up how peer review works. If your argument is "WELL YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST ANYTHING EVER", then fine, you're more than welcome to verify every experiment done. It's just that the bulk of people would rather work on expanding fields of knowledge instead of starting at ground zero and meticulously check whether every step ever taken makes sense.

>In some sense, the neofascistic fascination with cuckoldry is a rejection of human nature and human freedom in favour of those most animalistic traits. Those (men) predisposed to the slavishness of this rigidly and profoundly hierarchical social structure seek a way to strip themselves of their anxiety. When man is free from his self-consciousness and anxiety, he frees himself from woman and from free will. Instead, meaning must be found within the structure that perpetuates the hierarchy, usually within the individual or the cabal at the very top of the ladder, but also in the goals of those faux-übermenschen.


Cuck literature = true western literary tradition?

I can refute it. I want literally nothing to do with christianity and aspire to be nothing like it. I hate the poor. Killing is great. Sin is the shit. Jesus is a pansy leftist faggot.

By saying it ironically.

Unless peer review is done by *YOU*, *YOU* are still putting *BLIND FAITH* in *OTHER PEOPLE* that you have no clue whether it's truth or an elaborate lie.

Great intellectual strategy bro!

This isn't hard to do.

Who can be an atheist when the living spirit of Kek shitposts among us?

I do not believe in god(s), but seeing people hungrily eat same stale copypasta that OP had brought us makes me wonder if there are higher powers who feed on raw stupidity.

>Islam is the fastest increasing religion in the world

christcucks keep losing lmao

>Adam sinning makes him able to truly be close to god.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Why even make something not meant to be perfect until they partake in something you explicitly told them not to? Isn't an act of sin the absence of god (at least that's what my bible says). How can god have made them as a perfect being yet for them to achieve closeness to him they must follow his arch nemesis?

How nice of you to count Russian literature as part of Western literary tradition.

Cute skepticism. Enjoy spending your time doubting every possible thing anyone ever said :^)

Ok then.

Without the bible or any retard philosophy (peer review for idiots) prove God. We will all wait. Please oh please enlighten me.

Go for it senpai!

>there are higher powers who feed on raw stupidity.

Yes user, organized religion does exist, and it is among us.

trusting something peer reviewed by a few people is still better than blindly trusting something with no peer review and no way to verify

>Atheism is the fastest shrinking religion
>religion
Stopped reading there

Prove your keyboard is a real object and not a hallucination and I'll get right on that senpai!

I will, because I can't be criticized for it, while I can criticize your *BLIND FAITH* forever and for eternity since you do the same to Christians ^_^

HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THE IRONY?!

Nope. It's not.
It's not any more or less likely that they're all trying to fool you by mere virtue of number of people involved.

Such things can be verified by outside sources, but God is a creation of the bible and is only propagated by the bible and it's followers.

>the apex of religious counter arguments

>Christians bash on atheism.
>Meanwhile run over by Muslims.
k bro you got us

>China mostly atheist
>1.8% of world is atheist

Lel

it kind of is actually

Since it's logically the case, yep!
>hur it obvious kek
Great philosophy senpai~

>not having a religion = a religion

It's more likely that Bob is lying to you than that both Bod and Jim are lying to you?
Yeah?
Wanna explain the necessary connection there, buddy boy?

How do you know that Christianity isn't all an elaborate lie designed to fool you?

The only faith I need is my faith in humanity. Which I somehow still have even after this shitty year.

>It's not any more or less likely that they're all trying to fool you by mere virtue of number of people involved.
You don't actually believe this do you? Do you honestly go through life believing everything, including your own existence, is a 50/50 chance of being true? Even for a christfag this sounds like a ridiculous philosophy

Hope your including (((atheism))) with organised religion, kiddo.

>what are magnets
>what is radiation
>what are chemical reactions

because the more people involved in your imaginary conspiracy, the more likely it is that one of them will spill the beans

Considering how often Christians play the, "No True Christian," game when bad examples are pointed out?

>Such things can be verified by outside sources

>you can verify that your sensory experiences correspond to real objects by using your sensory experiences to verify them

Brilliant senpai.

I don't!

I'm just gonna take that as a win then.

you're*

Well, you can fix humanity and help it prosper. There are solutions to be had.

Christianity is fundamentally anti-human and pessimistic.

I found Paganism and Shintoism. I did leave athiesm and christianity as they are both incompatible with white morality. If you are christian, jew, athiest, or muslim you are not white.
