Atheism Does Not Reject Religion , It Is Extremely Stupid Atheists Think It Does by KingEbukasBlog(m): 4:27pm On Jul 30, 2017
Why are atheists here discussing the bible , religious beliefs , religious doctrine when it has absolutely nothing to do with the existence of God . The deists who acknowledge the existence of God reject religious beliefs and question religious authority .

Atheism is not the rejection of religion . There are religious atheists . So can an atheist explain the obsession with religious skepticism when it has nothing to do with the existence of God ?

Most will say there are "agnostic atheists"
Nice point though, would love to see "gnostic atheist" point of view, if there are here.

Agnostic atheism is an appeal to ignorance . But whatever position they appear to have , talking about religion makes no sense . Atheism does not religion , it rejects the deification of entities .

@4kings

Since theism deifies entities and atheism rejects the deification of entities , what does agnosticism do then ? It declares uncertainty about what is deified ?

Cos crazy things are happening to the world due to the system of religious beliefs also
Bible is composed of lies which they made people to see as the truth, religionists can never accept that there are plenty lies in their holy book

I think they also reject deification but are uncertain if there is an intelligence behind the universe.

Okay

I also learnt that there are atheists who admit that there is an intelligence behind the existence of the universe but they don't deify the creator of the universe . You can find many of them on Twitter .

A gnostic atheist would be as ridiculous as a gnostic theist. . .neither can provide proof of their assertions.

Atheism simply rejects the deification of anything . To be lucid : an atheist does not want you to call anything God/god .

This means that an atheist is not necessarily saying there is no creator of the universe , its just saying don't deify it ; don't treat it as a God . Its just a being , let it be what it is .

The "bible" is apparently the only evidence that supposedly proofs the existence of god

Now if that "evidence" is undermined and questioned(factually proven to be wrong) that inadvertently declares your "god" nonexistent.

Thats what I'm saying . If you think religion is manipulative , that's your opinion, don't fixate on it as an atheist because it has nothing to do with the existence of God . The deists do the same thing too .

I discuss religion because I wish to free brainwashed people.

Nonsense

The deists reject the bible and other religious books (revealed theology ) and they still acknowledge the existence of God . The deists rely on logic , reason , observation , science to support the existence of God (natural theology)

True . Too many of them here .

They want people to think that questioning bible stories , religious beliefs automatically question the existence of God . That's nonsense . Religion is religion , God is God .

The proper argument should be : Is the First Cause or creator of the universe worthy to be called God ?
