"An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you."
-DOM COBBS, INCEPTION.

"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere"
-DOM COBBS, INCEPTION.



Have you ever wondered when the exact moment was that a believer changed from being a believer to an unbeliever? Have you ever wondered what made Fela Kuti stand up to the Nigerian government? Have you ever wondered what made Seun build Nairaland?

IT WAS AN IDEA THAT STARTED ALL THIS. A VERY SIMPLE IDEA!

I was a christian and it was a simple idea that began my journey into atheism- "what if this religion is slave religion?". The question entered my head the day a white man in london told me that I'm a still a slave following the religion of the slave masters of my ancestors. That question kept repeating itself in my head. Little did I know that the question will build up slowly to me losing my religion.

The question lead me to google "christianity and slavery". I started reading about the racism and religion involved in the transatlantic slavery. I kept on reading and reading about slavery and religion until I could take no more. Within the next 2 months, I had already decided that Yahweh was a racist and christianity is a slave religion. Few weeks later, I was a full blown atheist.

A simple idea is powerful, especially if it is the truth. It stays in your mind pushing and forcing you not to ignore it.

This is why atheism has spread like wildfire due to the internet. Once an open and educated mind is hit with the truth that God and religion are both a bunch of lies, the mind has no choice but to build on that idea and research on it. The internet has helped to spread such a simple idea worldwide. This is why numerous studies show that atheism is growing.

This is why I say that atheists should never stop arguing for the truth. A simple idea can build a nation.

Yes. A lot of atheists thank youtube and reddit as the factor that made them leave religion.

A lot of the religious also thank YouTube, TBN, Christian websites as the factors that brought the good news of the gospel to them and got them born again so what's your point?

Partly true and partly false.

The internet creates far more atheists than religious people. Very few people actually become christians/muslim from online preaching.

What I do know is that most people who listen to online christian broadcasts are already christians.

Youtube is a global website. Atheist channels and news gain millions of views. Youtube is one example. There are other forums and sites all over the internet.

You can scoff at your ignorance.

How does that relate to anything I said? What do nairaland christian threads have to do with atheism growing. We are straying away from the op.

The op applies to christianity as well. Afterall, christianity spread throughout the world once. You just see anything that an atheist posts as an attack on christianity

Ideas are like seeds. A good/truthful idea will grow in the mind.

Unfortunately, just as seeds need fertile grounds, ideas need fertile brains. Some religious people don't have fertile brians

And how many people has your church website converted?
And how many people has nairaland religion section converted to christianity?

The same nairaland religion section that has created so many atheists.


This is my last response to you. I know you want to derail. BYE!

You do realize that at some point there were more atheists than Christians , at some point in History there were thousands of atheists and no Christian . Fast forward , there are now close to 3 billion Christians and 140 million atheists .

jackbizzle get time to dey reply efribody

Jumbo dumbo so YouTube views now translated to the wild fire rise of atheism? LMFAO

can you identify those who VIEW these YouTube channels?

Using Nairaland as an example, this your ridiculous thread has 53 or so views now. So can you tell me who and who are those who made it 53 views, their religious or non religious status and how many times they individually viewed this same thread to make it 53 views because views are not individualised but simply show how many times a thread is seen even if it means it's 1000 people viewing and re-viewing it 10 times each.

You are on course for the dumbest Nairaland award come December.

He says A GOOD TRUTHFUL IDEA WILL GROW IN THE MIND

you then wonder why billions are religious worldwide and make up almost half the world's population.

If good and truthful ideas grow in the mind why then do you think religion is false when it's own growth has been the real deal WILD FIRE!

Loool

You can easily tell that he is very ignorant . Atheism is spreading yet Christianity that started 500 years after has adherents 20 times the population of atheists

Someone needs to help the person behind that moniker with a much needed cuddle. He is as daft as a brush. He sweeps anything and everything!

There was an abolitionist movement founded by Christians to fight against slavery

Meanwhile in 2017 , president of atheist nation Kim Jong-Un takes 13 year old girls as sex slaves

Leave atheism because of the paedophilia and slavery practiced by an atheist nation
