Answering that question is pointless: I couldn't give a single solitary flying fuck what a mentally deranged person thinks of any demographic unless it becomes a threat to somebody other than themselves.

They seem to have this sense that irreligious/non-spiritual people are "missing something". That " missing something" sense could range from them having some kind of weird pity for us to thinking of us as no different from talking animals. It's like they think we're missing something that should be a apart of humanity. They don't think that we've actually overcome that part of humanity. I said irreligious because I'm from a Buddhist country.

I been told that if god was 100% proven is real, I would have to bend the knee and love and worship him.

Fuck that, if he is real I am going to make it my life mission to kill god. He ain't looking like much of a good guy to me.

That it's in other places like it is in the USA. I think being an atheist or christian here in central europe is very different to what americans experience in their lives. And it's yet another story in other countries.

Wut

The Red Scare tried very, very hard to link atheism with socialism, and not only did people believe it, it wasn't particularly wrong.

"The church" meaning an established instition of faith with ties to a state has been a source of legitmacy for monarchies and aristocracies

they also tend to enforce other hierarchies like patriarchy and of course clerigical

Perhaps that anyone of any religion is not also atheist.

Anyone in any theology believes in only their deity, but doesn't believe in the hundreds of other recorded, historical deities.

Even the theists are atheists.

We're not really smarter than religious people on the whole. Human intelligence is deeply flawed, being right about anything is a matter of luck and/or hard work

Believing/disbelieving whatever story about the existence/nonexistence of "god" (or anything else) matters not one whit to me. This obsession with stories that you people share. I do not share it.

That "you gotta be obsessed with stories like me" stereotype.

Well said Dr Satan.
