Are you sure you an atheist?

Because your personal text in your profile says "am working in power, am working in miracle".

To answer your question, all atheist in Africa are seen as crazy people, people think they are crazy and doomed.

Women are known to be gullible and more religious, it will sound awkward for women to be atheist in Africa.

And as for your children, ofcos it will affect them since both you and hubby are atheist.

i believe, both good and evil, women will have an important role in this end times. In the book of Genesis God tells
the serpent:
And I will put enmity betwee thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15

Why would God particularl place enmity between woman and evil? What is her role in this?

Think about this, It was Eve who brought the lie to Adam. She did not make the lie
but from a human perspective she was the first to repeat the lie and act on it.

But God redeme woman by making her ( through mary) the first to reveal the Truth (Jesus). And ever since satan has been coming to women to decieve human.

Women will play a very important role, if hilary clinton had win the election then 3 major country would have been rule by women, united state, england and germany, just as the bible prdicted.

Religious people think every atheist is crazy, due to their childhood indoctrination.

Am an atheist, hubby is also an atheist, will it affect our kids in anyway ?
Your kids are very lucky to have rational parents. You'll just have to teach them to pick their battles wisely when dealing with religious people.

The same way you were affected.

You were born into a religious family where religion reign and you have to be brought up with that same mental awareness that there is a god.

If you aren't told, then your proposed explanations on life issues wouldn't have been addressed in Gods prospect but plain logic and human reason.

Not the society sister, the hypocritical minds of Nigerians is the bane behind it. They prioritise foreign religion over logical thinking.

As someone as already said, its because stereotypically, females are seen to be more gullible and easy to manipulate. And society generally frowns more at people who make their decisions based on other's opinions as opposed to people who have minds of their own.

Another reason could be that women, especially in Africa, are seen as 'home builders' who are expected to hold their families together from straying away into 'destruction'. And Africans generally believe that non religious people are on that path. So, seeing the home builder as an atheist is frowned upon.

But it shouldn't matter to you. Just do your thing and keep questioning things to be sure that you are an atheist based on your own personal convictions. Never get too 'set in your ways'.

Kids are naturally atheists, but make sure you teach them religion for what it really is, a fairy tale, before their school indoctrinates them and tell them religion is real and there is one skydaddy above.. .

LOL, delusional people always think atheists are crazy, not just female atheists, they are like "eternity is a long time" grin , and like "are you not scared of God"... Religion still remains the opium of the masses, and for one to really move past religious idiocy, it takes a whole level of intelligence and bravery wink Don't mind the delusional peeps though, we see them a lot...

U know, i was asking the question because my mother-inlaw is complaining bitterly that me and my hubby are leading the kids astray, that we don't go to church so on and forth,

but i know and believe there is no fairy daddy with white long beard above the skies that oversees everything happening in the world,

and i think the world will be a better place if those religious bigot will stop religious indoctrination and allow the kids think freely, ask questions without fearing that the bearded fairy man will throw them in the lake of fire.



are u an atheist? or u see fairy tales in the religious book u don't believe or somethings about men of god that simply dosent add up.

Alas, that is to be expected. She was hoping to make up for her failure to indoctrinate your husband by indoctrinating her grandkids. You can allay her fears of the kids growing up without morals due to the lack of religion by explaining how you teach them to be good without God.

You're lucky she doesn't know that you don't even believe in God grin grin grin
That would have been hell.
As for your question, theist in nigeria naturally assume all atheists are crazy, the existence of God is never questioned or challenged in Nigeria, so atheists can come off as really strange.
Its not a female thing, they see us all as crazy. Your kids will most likely end up irreligious, its nice that you don't fill their heads with fairy tales.

Your Kids won't have a moral compass, hopefully you are not one of the hateful and foul mouthed atheists who can't stop insulting the supposedly nonexistent God.They will learn to insult and disrespect everyone else.

But God will always get to his own, if he happens to choose one of your kids as his, or even one of you.
