Oh look , someone has admitted he was ignorant about the subject .
OgundeleT is just a pile of pain and ignorance.

He probably just looked up the word.

He never knew they had mega churches and organizations. Sounds to me like what religion would do.

He needs education, i'm not gonna do that for him.

the bolded say much about your ignorance on what atheism actually means, since your mind has been configured to believe fairies I don't see how one can help you not to wallow in your self delusion
But ive been showing the foolishness of atheism.

All atheists have been doing is mummur gibberish.

you really need to educate yourself. that is just a gathering of non believers which they can form to stand against your people, it is just like LGBT for gays and lesbians. I asked you to named their doctrine, pastor or pope but you cant, why don't you for once go further to understand the reason for the gathering. it is just an advocacy group. atheist is not a religion group but if you insist then good luck to you. you believe can never change fact

I don't think I should be considered sober now. I mean, trying to debunk the one thing you claim to be free from is like resenting a "so-called tyrant" even after gaining freedom from him.

Well i think the thread itself is faulty, atheism is not even a thing rather the absence of it. The question what has atheism done for humanity shouldn't even hold. The truth is if we had actually remained religious fanatics the human race won't achieve much that it had today. There have been occurrences such as drought, famine, pandemics that the people actually thought it was from god. I could as well say atheism is fundamental to human development, because for those who were not born into atheism and became atheists, it took that tiny spark of doubt to start their journey.
This same tiny spark of doubt is what made Galilee Galileo doubt that the sun was not moving as believed by the bible, this same tiny spark is what made scientist find out the truth about the earth being geoid rather a circular plate with pillars supporting it as opposed to the bible.
There were times people thought incurable diseases was as a result of sin, it will take some moments of agnosticism to go further, past religious beliefs for a christian to go into the lab and make a cure.
There were times people were scared of the sky because of the tower of babel story, now we have astronauts out there. A religious fanatic who has swallowed the bible hook, line and sinker will actually not want to venture into the sky so as not to make god angry.
So irrespective those scientists stance of being a christian, their moment of agnosticism[which actually leads to atheism] pushed them to create what christians boast of today, which is ironical. I hope you get my drift.

People should notice that atheists never discuss how atheism would improve, strengthen, or otherwise change theirs or others’ lives for the better. Instead they spend their whole lives criticizing their Creator and religion.
To suppose you will find atheists going about telling you what atheism will do for humanity is to betray a staggering conceptual misapprehension of atheism. It is not an ideology with a set of tenets on how to live your life or treat humanity, it is just simply an admission of apathy towards god.

On the other hand, there are many atheists who do remarkable things around the world; for example, some dedicate their time and resources to eradicating polio and malaria, some are trying to connect billions of people to the internet for free, some are just people who help others in whatever way they can. I doubt, however, that it is their atheism that motivates them. I think rather, they are more motivated by their intrinsic love for humanity! As modest as my personal contributions to the betterment of other people are, I've never once thought of doing them in the name of atheism, so you stand a better chance finding the real slim shady than finding what atheism has contributed to humanity.



Also, according to 100 Years of Nobel Prizes, a review of Nobel prizes award between 1901 and 2000 reveals that (65.4%) of Nobel Prizes Laureates, have identified Christianity in its various forms as their religious preference. Overall, Christians have won a total of 78.3% of all the Nobel Prizes in Peace, 72.5% in Chemistry, 65.3% in Physics, 62% in Medicine, 54% in Economics and 49.5% of all Literature awards. We have also seen the successes of countries such as USA, UK and others, that have unofficially labeled themselves as Christian countries in the past.

Note: I’ve not included the successes of any other religion here, I’m simply emphasizing the products of Christianity.
I'm not even going to indulge you in this silly pissing contest. It seems you derive shattering orgasms from identifying with the achievements of other people because they practice your faith. I frankly don't consider that a productive way to contribute to humanity.


So what exactly has atheism done for humanity and why do atheists terribly want people to join them in their irrational unbelief in our supreme Creator?
Atheism has done nothing for humanity.

Finally, you should refrain from making sloppy generalisations. I personally think you shouldn't become an atheist, because you will probably be a very dangerous one who would lack moral inhibitions; since as you've made apparent, you always require a dictatorial arbitrator to perform the functions of your brain on your behalf.

Oh! Great, a challenge! We'll be waiting. But come o! There is a long list of gods worshipped throughout the world, why speak against only Yahweh/Jehovah when there are other gods you can speak against. If you have nothing against Yahweh/Jehovah, then disprove other gods. Why not challenge a Hindu and prove to him that Brahma is a hoax? Here is a list of gods I know, see if you can disprove any of them:

We have Zeus, Hermes, Brahma, Sheeva, Vishnu, Kali, Saraswati, Enki, Enlil, Ishtar, Baal, Marduk, Shamash, Inanna, Ganesa, Reshpu, Ra, Horus, Amon, Heqt, Hecate, Amphitryton, Triton, Poseidon, Cernunnos, Nkulunkulu, Aesir, Aegir, Yemanja, Sango, Obatala, Frega, Odin, Thor, Vanir, Hephaestus (Vulcan), Hera, Thoth, Anubis, Anukis, Sakmet, Sokka, Isis, Osiris, Mithras, Ahura Mazda, Ahriman, Tweedupon, Egbesu, Loki, Ijala, Amadioha, Bacchus, Aphrodite, Ninurgi, Sin, Ashima, Allat, Uzzat, Manat, Seth, Nut, Mut, Hades, Bel, Nebo, Ares, Eris, Cronus, Gaea, Uranus, Apis, Sirius, Yam ........................... And the list goes on. Oh! And lest I forget, Domino Reverad, the god of OtemWonyahweh, otemdomino, otem4eartum, otemanuduno and geoworldedu........ Pick one to disprove and take a break from trying to disprove the indisputable Yahweh/Jehovah.

Congrats, you've just demonstrated that you have a more humane sense of morality than your god who wishes to condemn more than half of humanity to such a place for whimsical reasons such as non-belief in its existence. I therefore wonder why anyone would want to worship such a god.

Those are Christian atheists - they reject the divinity of Christ but accept his teachings . So they go to "church" to learn about Christ . They believe fellowship improves unity and prayers have psychological benefits .

I believe most Christian atheists are denizens of psychiatric hospitals


That last bit is just funny.

What on earth is a Christian atheist? Such an oxymoron. The people who subscribe to it must have damaged reasoning faculties. Why should an atheist be a Christian and a Christian an atheist? They are neither hot not cold and shouldn't have a place anywhere. Rejects.
