10 Reasons for man to leave religion behind
10 Reasons for Man to Leave Religion Behind
It’s been reported recently that atheism is on the rise worldwide, while religiosity is declining. The relationship between the religious and non-religious has always been a tricky one; while many from each group eventually find themselves forced to admit that there is much to learn from the other, atheists still generally have a tough time accepting the role that religion plays in society—and are of the opinion that humanity would be better off leaving it behind, for a number of reasons. Here are ten of them. I think there are many more.Can I get a rebuttal to the article? |

Re: 10 Reasons for man to leave religion behind
Been an atheist since I was 8 started doubting the existence of God when I was 6. I was raised around religious people, and basically was the first person in my close family to be out as an atheist. I stopped believing in God soon after I figured out Santa Claus didn't exist. To me they are equally as improbable, they are based on the same concept of a being doing things that science says are physically impossible.

Similar for me, Bob. I asked my parents if I could see the different religions, visit and talk to them, none of them took a little kid seriously. All the University professors did, however. That was the difference for me. That, and science is true for everyone, not open to a mysteriously self serving way to some in particular.

What's to hate? I don't hate stupid people, I just am very guarded around people who actively do stupid things and encourage others to follow suit.
