konjinus:Stupidity - a behavior that shows a lack of good sense or judgement. If I say your thread is stupid, take note that it's not an insult. Kindly answer these questions: How did you arrive at the conclusion that MAJORITY of Nigerian atheists are of Yoruba descent? Always question your assumptions before coming to ask questions based on those dubious assumptions. What evidence do you have to prove that Yoruba atheists visit native doctors and clerics for black magic and protection? Another assumption? Tozara 2 Likes |

AlmiqhteeAllah:This is what makes the thread very stupid Is there a gathering of atheists where they ask for our National ID cards and keep records of our full real names and tribe? is he checking out Nairaland monickers and assuming their tribe? perhaps, he sees HopefulLandlord and goes "this monicker sounds *insert tribe*"; sees NPComplete and goes "This guy definitely is *insert tribe*" is it that he noticed that overwhelming majority of the real life atheists he knows are Yorubas? "Seun is an atheist", "Bolade, that tall guy, is an atheist", "Tolani is an atheist" does he have an all seeing eye that took the census and arrived at the conclusion? I hope, for his sake, that the third one is the reason for creating this thread cuz that's the only one that makes a bit of sense although not enough sense 1 Like 1 Share |

shukuokukobambi:You're a HUMAN first, before any other label. I think any atheist who isn't a Humanist is a fake and hypocritical atheist, because THE PROBLEM OF EVIL, the RACISM/TRIBALISM of the Jews backed and mandated by Yahweh in the Bible, and all other Biblical atrocities are always part of our arguments for rejecting God. So, if you're also gonna play the tribal game [one of the things that divide humanity and makes the world evil], you'll have no case against all the partisan Gods and your atheism can be considered illegitimate.

konjinus:Sorry to burst your bubble! Science is an ATHEISTIC ENTERPRISE, because anything that can't be proved EMPIRICALLY or made amenable to the SCIENTIFIC METHOD is thrown out of the window, and will forever remain in the domain of assumptions, speculations, and fantasies........ your God resides in the extremest bullshiit end of that domain. God is, by definition, "immaterial". He'll forever be hidden from science. As far as experimental science is concerned, your God does not exist. Tozara |

Daeylar:He was trying to answer the OP's question by saying societies that are more affluent and economically well-off would have a higher number of atheists than poorer ones. He was probably going to tell him that the South West is wealthier and more educated and sophisticated [I've heard this from my kinsmen countless times ], so the reason why there are more Yoruba atheists [unprovable nonsense that makes the thread stupid]. That's what came to my mind when I read the part I emboldened. He probably refrained from elucidating further in order not to sound ethnocentric. He might mean something else, though.

Funny enough, the reason there is a lot of Yoruba atheists, is the same reason that most of the mega pastors are Yoruba too. (I don't know if Yorubas are most for either though as I have not counted). I guess Yorubas read a lot. Atheist tend to have read much wider than the mainstream religious texts in their search for god, and so have most pastors, and once you step out of the religious texts you're bound to find out a lot about gods and how they are created. The outcome is to either get a pulpit, collect tithes and buy a jet, or completely turn against the whole god shenanigans. You'd be amazed that some vicars in the CoE and the Catholic Church are atheists, though they'll claim to be agnostic at best. 1 Like |
