The Internet Has Become A Church For Atheists by EvilBrain1(m): 10:23pm On Aug 01, 2012 |
In the aftermath of the US Aurora theatre shooting, CNN's Belief blog has noted how the internet has become the de-facto church for atheists and doubters of god. As unbelievers often have no physical place to gather, they have turned to the web as a place to share their beliefs, experiences and offer each other support. The internet's anonymity also helps those still in the closet who don't want to have to deal with family and friends who'll likely disagree with them. The article also includes some really nice quotes from reddit's r/atheism page (one of my favourite places on the internet) from atheists talking about their lives. (CNN) – The Internet has become the de facto global church for atheists, agnostics and other doubters of God, who of course don’t have bricks-and-mortar churches in which to congregate. This explains why atheists are so active in the religion section.

And the constant battles here are tedious. I'd hang out in atheism/black but it's mostly american folk, with little action anyways. Any other web hangouts for atheist 9ja? |

ijawkid: I give up. I have never met an ignorant person like you who is happy to be ignorant. Daviddylan is a smart guy. He is a good liar. But you, you know nothing and you are damn proud of being damn ignorant. Atheism is not a religion. Can never be. 1 Like 1 Share |

All these guys saying atheism is a religion and all this talk about envangelizing just goes to show that they believe that there is something underhanded about this whole religion business they don't really like so they need to paint atheism in that same (religious) light in order to feel comfortable. "Look you're just as bad as we are," they say. 7 Likes |

Uyi Iredia: I agree especially with people like logicboy actively seeking or anticipating new converts. Have I offered any link to any atheist organisation? Have i promoted any atheist book? All I do is tell people that atheists are not fools/devils and that religion has its problems. I'm quite content with agnostics and skeptics |

The problem of the atheist is not a disbelief in God, it is a belief in anything besides God, however ridiculous it is. CHURCH OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER is strictly for atheists. PS: '' The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God.''' PSALM 53vs1 4 Likes |

Being an evangelist athiest aint wrong. so far they are not forcing atheism on anyone. OFF TOPIC: I'M COMPLETELY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW. I think I'm embracing agnostism. |
