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.

No, sage in all fields

OP is just stating facts, atheist....

That's great news, only problem is that the fastest growing religion right now is islam. You know, the religion that forces people to suicide bomb themselves in the crouds, run trucks into people, throw gays of the buildings, behead people with slightly different kind of your own religion etc.

Other than that religion is very needed in society, preferably buddhism or catholic faith.

>buddhism
>papistry
Yeah, no thanks

The number of atheists in the 70s was probably inflated due to communism, though.

Part of being an atheist is not caring about the conduct of others. I'd be fine being he only atheist alive. No need to be a fedora faggot.

Part of being any atheist I have ever met is pretending you're a scientist and caring deeply about what others think

Because Christianity is faith of compassion. It only works if you have homogeneous society though. Also crusaders.

Atheists tend to congregate in areas of strong magnetic forces, crippling their brains in the process, thus perpetuating atheism...

> atheism
> religion
on this, /pol, you are truly, sincerely retarded

I would support OP, but it is a leaf posting, so.

Atheism is the faith that there is no god, it is faith because there is no proof

lack of faith doesn't equate faith

Yes it does. If you can't prove it, then you are acting on faith.

I want to shoot people who make these posts
>I'm an atheist thats why I did something that has nothing to do with atheism

Religion is very useful as a society management tool. Doesn't really matter which religion, as long as it's not corrupted like islam.

The problem with every religion is that they don't mix up well and don't work with multiculti societies.

Everyone thinks that their religion is "the truth" while every religion is merely a speculation. There is big difference between faith and knowledge. Biggest argument for religion and existence of god is simulation theory.

>prove a negative

Their belief is that there is no God. It's faith because the belief cannot be proven

Good. It should probably be noted that almost every single major figure in the atheist movement is Jewish. You could make a compelling argument that atheism is specifically being pushed by Jews in today's society, and they seem to largely be targeting western Christians and only them.

For example, Sam Harris, Chapman Cohen, David Silverman, Michael Newdow, Gregory Epstein, Sherman Wine, Bill Maher, Eric Kaufmann, and of course, Richard Dawkins's mother has a Jewish surname and was stated to have lived in the only Jewish suburb of the city she grew up in. But he hasn't explicitly named her religion.

But that's only a tiny part of the list. We could discuss the Jewish atheists who aren't pushing atheism so much as atheism-enabling political views like Marxism. For example Soklonikov, Trotsky, Deutscher, Lenin, Uritsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Sverdlov.

And what about atheist Jewish public entertainers that constantly run down Christianity? We can go ahead and recycle Bill Maher here and also include Jon Leibowitz, Stephen Fry, Woody Allen, Rob Reiner, Daniel Radcliffe, Larry David, David Silverman, and... I'm sure I'm close to the post cap, so rather than just name the rest of Hollywood, you get the point.

PURE COINCIDENCE though.

Imagine the smell.

Nigger, atheism has existed long before the Jews. I like that you're also ignoring the fact that Christians are the largest non-Jewish supporters of Israel and Christian politicians are the ones who give billions of dollars to Israel every year.

Can't smell as bad as a Christian sanctuary church.

Dear God it's real...

This is the most unintentionally depressing thing I have ever read. I just feel sorry for atheicucks now.

Domt give pasta a real response.

Seems like this whole thing is built on making shit up about China.

Either Chinese people were lying to Pew before, or they are lying now.

Atheism is a Jewish invention it turns men into beta cucks.

Attached is voting intention by belief. Notice atheists and Jews are virtually identical.

If you allow people to think that atheism is acceptable you get moral degradation, communism, identity politics, etc. Things that directly enables Islam.

You should fight the enemy within with the same vigour that you fight the enemy without.

You might get faggots replying to this post saying 'hurr well I'm a red pilled atheist I voted for Trump', well how is that any different from Abdul from Syria saying 'I'm not like those other muslims, I'm moderate'? Stereotypes exist for a reason, and evidence dictates atheists are social poison.

Thanks for quoting a based nigger as your argument.

>Chart doesn't even have atheists on it

So, you have nothing to defend your faith?

Statistics posted in this thread seem to indicate that atheists are puppets for the jews... Are you a puppet?

Atheists are "Unaffiliated" ... at least try and defend your faith...

Then explain:

"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."

"The völkisch-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will."

My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian, I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."

"We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity ... in fact our movement is Christian."

If you can't trust the words out of a man's mouth, what kind of man is he?

>Still ignoring my point about Christians giving billions of dollars to Israel

Unaffiliated doesn't necessarily mean atheist. You can be a Christian and not associate with any sect.

Ahh so clearly, you believe that Obama and Hillary are both devout Christians due to their public quotes professing to be so.

the original head line is that theyre evangelicals not atheists

Why do you keep hiding your flag behind something you don't really believe in? Christianity was a core part of Nazi Germany....

>there will be more niggers on earth than Christians in your lifetime
Can't wait.

Once again, if you can't trust the words out of a man's mouth, what kind of man is he?

In the Secret Conversations with Hitler, two recently discovered confidential interviews were given by Richard Breiting in 1931. Breiting was a member of the German People's Party. In these conversations, (which were actually more private than the Table-Talk), Hitler reveals his aims and plans. Like the Table-Talk, the notes were taken in short-hand. Unlike the Table-Talk, which Hitler knew would later be revealed, Hitler was assured that his statements would be kept secret. Moreover, the Secret Conversations were authenticated as written solely by Breiting (unlike the editing by Bormann). Yet nowhere in these conversations does Hitler denounce religion. On the contrary, Hitler mentions a conciliation with Roman and German Catholicism where

>"people like von Papen and many others are establishing good relations with the Vatican."

In Hitler-- Memoirs of a Confidant, Hitler reveals himself through conversation to colleagues from a conference on economic policy. In it Hitler is reported to have spoken, glowingly, about raising the

> "The persecution of the true Christians and sanctimonious churches that have placed themselves between God and man and to turn away from the anti-Christian , smug individualism of the past,"

and

Nowhere in the Memoirs do we find a Bormann-like anti-Christian statements as found in the Table-Talk.

he is clearly LARPing as a Nazi

Fight them!

We need more religious wars. Those are the best. Lots of rape and abuse. Maybe people can be convinced to throw some nukes around. Would be great.

I grew up atheist... Still alone. It sucks. All I want is a nice Christian girl.

Did I touch a nerve? I was going to try and see you as an equal with this post but your continual failure at meme warfare reduces your status to a mere pleb

Unaffiliated means atheists and agnostics

Sounds great, I'm not religious really, but I'm definitely not athiest.

>Meme warfare
Good god m8, you're literally the Christian version of pic related.

Again with the pictures? Can't handle a real conversation, pleb?

Most atheists are agnostic about it.

They have a lack of a belief in any of the gods described in religion or otherwise, and (separately from this) they also don't BELIEVE there are any gods (citing a lack of evidence).

However, very few atheists go as far as to make the ASSERTION that there can be no gods and that the universe MUST be godless. They merely don't believe in any gods because they haven't seen any around.

The ones that are put on TV, however, tend to be the ones who DO make that assertion.

This.

then they would be agnostics, not atheists; try again

Checked those 9's:

>Psalms 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.”

Nigger, you've ignored every argument I've presented and tried changing the subject every time.

"Negative statements often make claims that are hard to prove because they make predictions about things we are in practice unable to observe in a finite time. For instance, "there are no big green Martians" means "there are no big green Martians in this or any universe," and unlike your bathtub, it is not possible to look in every corner of every universe, thus we cannot completely test this proposition--we can just look around within the limits of our ability and our desire to expend time and resources on looking, and prove that, where we have looked so far, and within the limits of our knowing anything at all, there are no big green Martians. In such a case we have proved a negative, just not the negative of the sweeping proposition in question."-Richard Carrier, "Proving a Negative "(1999)

"In some circumstances it can be safely assumed that if a certain event had occurred, evidence of it could be discovered by qualified investigators. In such circumstances it is perfectly reasonable to take the absence of proof of its occurrence as positive proof of its non-occurrence." - Introduction to Logic, Copi, 1953

You can also prove specific negative claims that can be rephrased as a positive claim. If someone claims that the lights are not on in room 442 that claim can be rephrased as claiming that the lights are off in room 442.

The claim that you can not prove a negative claim is itself a negative claim and would be a self defeating statement or a retortion were it not generally understood to be a limited claim. What is usually meant by the assertion that "One can not prove a negative claim" is that it is not logical to insist on proof of claims or statements of the sort: " There is no such thing as X that exists anywhere at all and at any time at all."

JIDF, is that you?

He's smarter than 99% of the whites in this country.

They are agnostic atheists.

There is no straightforward definition of "atheism".

The current "arguments" you have brought forth have already been countered by several people in this thread. Provide something new of substance or get out

>278

God doesn't want you to be agnostic, user:

>Psalm 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

He speaks to you, and wants you to seek him.

Other than a lack of belief in gods (which is nebulous the way it can be interpreted).

How is that nebulous? It is a clearly defined hard stance...

>616

God defines them for you, they are the damned:

>Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

>Ezekiel 27:8 Men from Sidon and Arvad rowed your boats for you. Tyre, your wise men were the pilots on your ships.

spare me your bullshit trudeau

>848

Do you not see your own refusal to seek him?

>John 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Atheism will always be a minority because we don't evangelize, prey on people's misfortune, or force others to be atheist. None of which can be said for any religion on the planet.

How is this good? The percentage is shrinking because of the increasing amount of muslims.

Not an argument.

Instead to try to bully others into your thinking to be "on the right side of history" and attend atheist church:

>White people have declining birthrates
>48 iq fundamentalist niggers have 17 children each.
You're not making a good case against atheism.
Also, who cares? Religous belief is almost completely irrelevant to a societies happiness, productivity, and well-being. All of this is largely a determinant of nature, not nurture. White societies could follow Islam or we could be complete anti-theist, and it would have no meaningful impact on the society.

Only semetic religions do that shit

makes sense with ~6bn projected on afrucan incontinent by 2097

>we don't evangelize
is criticizing believers not your evangelizing?

>we dont prey on people
no, you just try to destroy their fundamental belief system and moral foundation because you think its silly

>something new and substantive
how about this......it is impossible to convert an atheist to christianity or any other religion. Once someone has moved to the point where they require proof, they are incapable of faith and belief. Christians believe in god without proof of his existence as an act of faith. If you have proof of somethings existence, believing in it just means you arent retarded.

Atheism as a whole is just a reactionary ideology user. Rarely is there a philosophical atheist who came to the conclusion that there isn't a god without someone they're trying to piss off. Whether that someone is a powerful church which they think is corrupt (I.e. Any socialist revolution), their parochial school teachers, or their parents. It even takes root in societies pretty easily because it appeals to the weak nature of man which is unquestioning of deep things, disinterested in morality, and too proud to admit he is subservient to a sovereign being (unless it's a harmless, imaginary entity they made up like aliens).
Eventually society grows out of its angry pubescence though when they realize that denial and the fetishization of nothingness doesn't challenge man, much less does it make him aspire to be greater. Because in the end, despite all atheists claims to be moral for its own sake and not "out of fear of sky daddy", it's an impotent and detrimental ideology which is taken to most strongly by the weak, disinterested, pessimistic man who only wants nothingness and license to be weak.
This is why society will never truly accept atheism, and why fictional futures where everyone is a "rational atheist" is only real in science fiction.

also how about this......in the US constitutional system, our rights come from god and not our government. Our government exists to support the free exercise of our natural rights, not infringe upon them. If you remove god from the equation, where do the rights come from? The answer is the state. And if the state grants the rights, it can easily take them away.

I don't see how this affects anything. You are right in that God rarely intervenes directly in our day-to-day lives... Can you elaborate on this point further to highlight the point of this post?

There are many instances where humans in general overlook proof. Hell, most people aren't scientists, but rather hear or read a scientific study and just take it on faith rather than try and confirm it themselves (understandably so of course, access to such equipment is difficult for most)

people talking about religion like it's a competition or something

>"my religion is winning!"
>"no! it's mine!"

OP BTFO

>Can you elaborate on this point further to highlight the point of this post?
That by destroying god, they are destroying the very thing that prevents an oppressive state from forming. In the constitutional chain of command, god sits at the top. If you get rid of god, the government sits at the top. While god still exists, the state cannot infringe on your rights. Pic related had meaning

>humans in general overlook proof
Its about the standard of proof. You really cant prove that god does exist or that he doesnt exist, its a matter of faith. Any conclusive, objective evidence of god being real would end atheism overnight because only a fool wouldnt believe something thats been proven.

Wait, you think a government cannot infringe on former rights? What is martial law? Governments certainly can infringe on rights, they just tend not to because it usually creates instability which is not profitable; but in extreme circumstances it certainly can be done...

wait, nevermind, i misread I apologize

>atheism
>religion

nice try leaf, but NOPE

i get that IN PRACTICE, things have gotten out of hand. However, IN THEORY, anytime the government infringes on the inalienable rights of the citizen, they have violated the contract that binds us to them and gives them the authority to maintain power. We The People have been SERIOUSLY DEFICIENT in keeping our government in check.
