I'm a Muslim but I must admit that atheism is on the rise. It's the f*cking reality. Day in day out, I read comments of people attacking the very foundation upon which religion stands. Interestingly, the questions they raise are logical and their arguments apt. It's shame on theists if we can't come up with a more rational argument and resort to insulting them and threatening them with hell. Though I've got a rebuttal to some of their arguments but honestly, it has made me more liberal than before. Also, I've become more resilient in my faith in God.
pls can you point out some of their questions that you think theists can't answer rationally.

You must understand one thing....for any being to accept rational answer, he or she must possess a rational mind...if not 2 will not be able to divide 4......

How I wish u will be here on earth in the next 500 years to see that people who use their brains, worshipping no god and doing good to humanity have taken over. By then, you'll be desiring reincarnation from the light of God.

How about realising that Allah is not real and Mohammad is a clown? The fact that you find the concept of irreligion so unbelievable speaks to how brainwashed you are as a Muslim.

Nigeria is not as ultra-religious as it once was. The topic of atheism is no more taboo as it once was. It is now discussed in various media.



1) Radio talkshows; I have witnessed radio hosts discussing twice about atheism despite the fact that I only listen to radio once in a while. The first was an atheist challenging the existence of God on a christian talkshow on sunday on 93.7, the other was a radio talkshow host complaining of her roommate not believing in God (cant remember the radio station)

2) Atheist groups and conventions; two new atheist groups have come up and there is an atheist convention on the 11th of september. One of the groups is a humanist one and the other on is the atheist convention of Nigeria (ASN), which is having the convention.

3) Growth of atheist numbers on Nairaland, twitter and facebook; there is no week I dont see some criticism of religion or God on twitter or facebook by a Nigerian. This shows that the internet gives voices to those who are more careful in real life. Nairaland is the den of atheist- no need to even talk about it. grin

I completely agree, and in truth we actually do not need more churches and what not, what we need is a society of free thinking individuals such as the ASN of which I am a proud member of; people who are ready to contribute, give hands on contribution to the betterment of the society and Nigeria as a whole... not those 'It is well" people. And freethinking Nigerians pop up with each passing day.

I am a friend to everybody, Christians, muslims, atheists, deists... but I am a terror to bad gods like Yahweh, Allah, Mazda, Moloch, whose philosophies are holding back the brain development of my people and my world.

None of those questions have been answered with convincing evidence; most of what you usually get in answer to those questions are a bunch of mumbo jumbo... and some bullshit to top it.

Atheism is not a belief in "oneself". Juxtasposing atheism as a solipsistic or individualist philosophy in opposition to Christianity or Christian-inspired values is a false dichotomy and false framing.

All atheism is, is the lack of belief in a god. A- (un- , without) Theismos (god, gods). Atheismos. Atheism - godless, without gods.

The way I see it, people are beginning to see through the blindfold of religion. It's only religious people that are scared of taking a good look at what they believe in relation to the life we live that are shouting atheism is on the rise.

Here is a poser:
why is the female gender not represented in the Trinity yet we want equality for women?
THE SOUL OF A MALE AND AND A FEMALE IS THE SAME...BROS , LOOK BEYOND THE FLESH. DON'T TRAP YOURSELF IN THE FLESH..GOD GAVE US THIS EARTHY FLESH, SO THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION ON EARTH.

Does it matter when the Bible was written? If the notion of women being disregarded as you claim is outdated, what stops us from revising it to reflect the truth.

That the female gender is suppressed and subjugated in religion tells a lot about the all just God we claim to worship.

Besides, I don't buy that because women had always played leading roles in the world from time immemorial, even in bible history.
morality in our society has nothing to do with religion instead critical thinking and reasoning of logical people has made the world much easier

atheism is not struggling because atheists are not as illogical as Christians. Christians preach false news of a dead Jewish man to the public but atheists are not that jobless promoting a Jewish carpenter.

hell fire is another false prophecy of that Jewish man. Who knows Jesus Christ father? How is it possible a virgin gave birth to a child? The earth is just a small ball rotating round the galaxy.

Besides, logical reasoning and critical thinking are not requirements in our religious belief or practice, though the Bible says we should "reason together"
