Atheists

The stupid fedora meme stuck for some reason

Still atheism will win in the end so it's good

it's irrational perspective of reality and its arrogant, condescending attitude.

People asking what killed atheism.

Not sure what you are talking about. Atheism is stronger than ever.

Logic.

Atheism is retarded. Agnosticism would atleast be scientific.

Yet these cunts call science but don't realize that atheism has no basis in science.

exactly. Christianity is an absolute fucking joke and is made fun of constantly by everybody. I would be embarrassed to call myself anything other than an Atheist.

>Still atheism will win in the end so it's good

athiest think science is God then realize when they look at the scientific equation of existing on this planet they take swallow the redpill

Nothing. You can't kill an idea with such a simple premise. That's like asking what killed the 0.

1 it's a meme jewish belief system
2 a fucking hat killed atheism.

Some atheists made it their entire meaning for living. They pushed too hard and the average person (believer or non) started to lose patience with their bullshit - hence the fedora meme. When atheism began losing relevance they splintered into atheism + (basically anti-Christianity mixed with SJW feminism bullshit) and those of us who weren't rabid non-believers have settled down and don't really talk about it.

FPBP

Ah yes god is very science and not a cultural idea good point i am a #crossmissile

Atheism didn't die, it's just become less of a talking point since it's so widespread over the age group dominating Sup Forums. It was spreading like wildfire a few years ago, the fedora meme just followed it out of the conversation

>American intellectuals

Atheism has been at the forefront of criticizing Islam(and not just "muh radcals") and feminism for a while while christfags still whine about abortion being a literal shoah.

There are literally people on this board who were made to feel insecure because of hat memes. The people here are that neurotic and fragile that they now abstain from admitting their atheism because they don't want to be judged by Sup Forums's edgiest board.

Guys like Dawkins and Maher who decided to make a show out of the whole ting instead of letting demographics take their course. but is very true and what scares the everloving shit out of me, and that map's at least ten years old
>Serbia and Montenegro
>One Sudan

>Agnosticism
Huh...
So i always thought i was atheism, kinda.
But Agnosticism seems to fit me more.

It's funny how religions are pretending to be "tolerance" with other religions.
What?
you knew your one true god is probably not real??
That's why It's okay to let others to believe whatever they want?

At least muslims believe Allah is the real one and refuse to tolerate with other religions.
Probably why they are winning now.

you are retarded.

If you grew up in the desert 500 years ago you could say "holding 1 kg of water in your hand is impossible, I am now an iceist".

You can't disprove God therefore being an atheist is by definition redarded and against science. At best you can claim to be agnostic.

but autism causes firm positions.

You can be agnostic because you just don't know.

This is true too, same thing happened with libertarianism.

Genetic Entropy. Geology. Astronomy.

>Atheism has been at the forefront of criticizing Islam

Atheism+ killed atheism. Whatever SJWs touch turns to shit.

You're not wrong at all there. Pic related.

You better pray turned to mecca too just in case. Better not risk it.

Any ideology is better than none, that is why Islam is winning. It's not hard to understand.

Degeneracy. Christianity was holding the moral fabric of our society together, and the minute we stepped out of that we stepped out of thousands of years of experience on what works best in society.

Atheists don't have a clue as to how to agree on anything, which is why there are so many anti movements in their ranks. Sure Christianity also has many denominations, but overall they had the same core values and only disagreed on unimportant shit such as baptism etc.

Atheists only agree that there is no god. There is no agreement other than that and it is this complete openness to morality that has allowed such degenerate beliefs, such as this acceptance of trannies, to manifest. Sure if we hive atheism a couple hundred years it could sort itself out, but that's a couple hundred years of pure degenerate filth.

God

So let me get this straight. Some of you were atheists before, but how a minority of other atheists act made you start believing in magic? Are you that insecure?

atheism is on the rise
Christianity: 2 billion
Islam: 1.3 billion
Hinduism: 900 million
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 850 million
Buddhism: 360 million
Chinese traditional religion: 225 million

Nah Sven, I am Christian myself but even pretended to be agnostic once when questioned about it in a group setting and one smart-ass did the whole "agnostic doesnt exist. In your heart you are either an atheist or a theist. Which is it?" I then had to sheepishly say I think there is probably a god at which point my "friends" made fun of me

I dont know a single person even slightly religious under 40. Pretty much everyone is an atheist. Its social suicide to be christian because it means you are a "retard who has imaginary friends"

Islam.

Christianity is useful when fighting Islam.

>atheistempire.com

Has anyone here said they started believing in a god because of it? I think most of us assumed that OP meant the atheism movement. It would be naive to think atheism as a belief could be wiped out...

Atheism+ is/was a good enough reason to distance yourself completely from the atheist label.

This is a good point. We need objective ways of enforcing western value and morals, and christianity was the main driving force for milleniums. Now what?

Is there any objective moral guide?

>What killed atheism?
Legalize psychedelics.
It's how religions started.
It's how religions will return.

>It would be naive to think atheism as a belief could be wiped out...

Even cancer can be extirpated

It's not malign in all of us

don't see the problem, they'll abandon their religious fundamentalism once the US stops funding wahhabism

The majority of people I know have never heard of Atheism+ I don't know what it is either.

I do know that as soon as the fedora meme really gained traction here, people stopped admitting they they were atheists and Sup Forums turned against atheism. Atheism is not a movement, it's the lack of belief in gods. You don't have to be associated with any atheists because of your shared lack of belief.

I really am starting to think that this board is almost entirely cliquey faggot teenagers.

So then you can redpill them easily. any atheist ever can't ever make a moral argument.

determinism does not equate inherent values.

so say that they were only programmed to be cucks.

works pretty well desu

Almost all the atheists that I saw criticized Islam.

God isn't the domain of science in the first place. He's the domain of metaphysics.

Atheism is boring.

Santa isn't the domain of science in the first place, he's the domain of metaphysics. There is no way to use scientific knowledge and decide that Santa isn't real.

>personal anecdotes

Its for edgy teens who are pushing back against silly religious dogma.

Once these edgies mature (if they ever do) they realise that spiritual aspects of life are important for wholesome function and thus atheism has to be discarded in exchange for something that incorporates the spirit in some form.

...

I hate when atheists blame the fact that their reign over internet secularism since its inception is the fault of fundies spamming the hat meme. The fact is that people of faith online got sick of Atheists after 15+ years of online mockery and went to create a couple jokes that parody their self-absorption and self-described intellectual superiority, and now Atheists are regarded as fat, triby-tipping autists regardless of whether this is a baseless stereotype or a genuine representation. This is the backlash you should've seen coming, and now prominent atheists from huge atheist authors to spergy atheist YouTubers have run from their roots to join the alt-right in Islam bashing after it became unpopular to rail on Christians all day.

You used literally nothing to back your assertions and I have the same experience as he does. Atheists criticize Islam all the time. Maybe things are different on your rainy socialist island.

>for some reason

Is there more proof for Christianity than the Santa story? I'm genuinely curious.

That argument is retarded.

No one is claiming a supernatural force called santa created the universe.

>either a supernatural being/force created the universe or not

Being an atheist is therefore retarded.

atheism requires an incredible amount of propaganda to sustain

Ignorance.

/Thread.

I'm comparing two equally provable stories. They both have no good evidence and their existence directly contradicts what we know about the laws of the universe. Reindeer can't fly, wizard type characters don't exist.

you can't /thread your own post.

Damn you sound like my mom. Kinda, her version is bad shit didn't really bite your ass yet my silly atheist son.

Don't come back to me until you've watched the whole thing

youtube.com/watch?v=xKX-QtEo2fI

fedora fags killed it.

Atheism used to be "I don't believe in a higher power but feel free to practice what you want".

Now it is "that cross you are wearing OFFENDS ME!" followed by "STOP CALLING IT CHRISTMAS OR EASTER BREAK!"

Essentially the butthurt faggots that are still mad at mom and dad for making them go to church as kids are now running all things atheist.

All they do is focus all their attention on Christianity and how much they hate God that doesn't exist but they still go out of their way to attack Him. NOTICE ME SENPAI (How you like me now GOD? you better pay attention to me now!)

Only time I think about Islam (which is a lot now) is because of the actions of their religion of peace (tm). Other then that I don't ever think about that, or about the Roman/Greek/Indian/Celtic gods and goddesses.

Japan and South Korea have an immigration problem?

Why do christcucks spam youtube videos rather than formulating their own ideas and arguments?

Family Guy.

no you are not.

there is ample evidence that kids presents are given to them by their parents.

There is no evidence of why or by Whom the universe was created.

being an atheist is therefore logically retarded. the only reasonable stamp you could put on yourself if you are not a believer is agnostic.

It's funny you tout logic when atheism and agnostic answer different questions. One is about belief, the other, knowledge.

Do you believe in a deity? Yes or no?? theism vs atheism.

Do you KNOW that there isn't a deity? gnostic knows, agnostic doesn't.

Agnostic Atheism is the only logical answer for atheists, even for me a hyper fedora who considers the only real rational "deity" would be the manipulators of our simulation, if that were the case.

Agnostic Atheism - I don't believe that a deity exists, but I cannot know for sure. (even if it's .00001% chance, in my case)

Gnostic Atheism - I don't believe a deity exists, and I know this 100%.

Gnostic Theist - I believe a deity exists and I know for a fact it does.

Agnostic Theist - I believe a deity exists, although I have no proof and I could be wrong.

Agnostic Atheism makes the most scientific sense, as you don't presume to know that a deity doesn't exist, but you also say you don't believe one does, since almost nothing in science points to a deity besides "we dunno what happened before the big bang" (must have been the Gap God, amirite). Gnostic atheists are unscientific because to say anything unknown can't 100% exist without testing or anything is silly. Doesn't mean it isn't on the same level as ghosts, though.

You think we are muslim because we are paid to be?

fpbp

The utter annoyance of atheists caused people to reconsider the idea that the universe could possibly exist with cause and effect laws without a force that does not adhere to them.

Muslim terrorists making people reflexively turn towards Christianity because fuck them

Just like how Muslims are getting more extreme over time because the internet allows them to truly understand their religion, we're in the beginning stages of seeing the same with Christianity.

Aggressive opinionated people who actually believe humans would be better off given free authority over their own morality.

Even the most casual interpersonal observance can see how ridiculous such a view is. Actual intelligent Athiests sit in silent observation of the human condition, while their subhuman cousins can't help but spin into a tizzy, because their literal autism, won't let them actually understand what people would do, and still do regardless, in their warped view of "if everybody followed my views, the world would be perfect" delusion.

Most athiests only became athiests because they wanted to smugly rebel against their parents and normies

The burden of truth is on the person making the claim. You can't prove God too.

Stop spamming

>agnostic=you don't know
>atheist=you claim no god
>theist=God

you can strawman and whatever but you are wrong. being an atheist is literally retarded from a scientific point of view.

Religious People:
>I definitely know god exists
>I also know that [insert local deity specified by place of birth] is the only one true god
>All of those other people who were born in different countries who have never been exposed to my religion are going to hell

Atheists:
>I definitely know for a fact that god doesn't exist.
>How do I know this you ask???
>.....???
>?

Agnosticism:
>There's probably some force that made this world.
>But I'm not entitled/stupid enough to assume that what was written in [insert book of local religion] is the absolute truth.


Agnosticism is the master race.

There absolutely is an atheist movement and your knowledge of whether or not it exists is irrelevant to the fact that it does exist. It gained a lot of traction during the intelligent design days and then it splintered into an SJW community when there was nothing worthy of rallying against in the US.

Some atheists just reject known stories and don't 100% rule out the existence of a creator. It's called agnostic atheism. I get what you're saying though.

If you are an atheist you are claiming God doesn't exist.

By your own reasoning, prove it.

I believe Sam Harris has been working on this problem. Though I doibt it would succeed since, like I said, atheists can't agree on anything.

I believe that they reason they can't agree on anything is due to the movement being portrayed as one of free thinking philosophers. Brilliant debaters like Hitchens only emboldened that portrayal and in the long run I think it has damaged the movement greatly, since not everyone can be a free thinking philosopher.

I would not know about it without Sup Forums and most people I know are atheist or agnostic.

I don't care what some atheists do, that has literally 0 effect on what I believe. I'm an atheist because I came to that conclusion, not to be part of a group.

yeah agnostic atheism, that is some sort of sjw racism shit.

atheism an agnosticism are mutually exclusive

God is a philosophical thing to prove, not a scientific one.

Because it's 02:00 am here. Bookmark it for later

I don't even believe in God.

And you can't exactly argue Santa is metaphysically necessary.

>autisms, the post

>being an atheist is therefore logically retarded
There's literally noting proving that something exists outside the physical realm, why do you keep bringing the metaphysical when there's literally no proof?
Why should do you assume that something needs to have a creator?

SJWs atheists adopting the mantle of over-bearing, stuck up sense of moral superiority and pseudo-religious tendencies of marxist principles

That's actually more Christians than I expected for Japan.

That depends on how you define the terms.

But caring about this is a symptom of very strong autism.
