Nothing, people contribute to the society irrespective of their beliefs. I didn't become an atheist to make the world a better place, I became an atheist because I stopped believing in God.

It's just like asking 'what has not playing football done for the world?' The answer is nothing, it all depends on what you do with your time.

Atheists formulate their beliefs independently, just like other people we just don't involve God in our decisions.

Or is it having < 10 percent of the total Nobel laureates as atheists : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nonreligious_Nobel_laureates

Or no atheist having any prominent achievement until the 17th century : https://www.nairaland.com/3299993/what-prominent-achievements-made-atheists

Atheism is not about collective benefits per say(its not a thing), its more of an individual thing. Its more about what the individual atheists could enjoy out of life in the absense of a thing (religion).

Personal benefits could be: not having to waste money unnecessarily in the name of paying tithes.....not having to worry about offending gods whilst ignoring humans who feel the pains directly of our bad actions......taking full responsibility of your life, decisions and actions.....liberation of thought (no zombie follow follow)....etc

There are numerous benefits we atheists derive from being atheists with each perculiar to different individual.

In short Atheism epp the Atheists

I mean if you share these "benefits" with the deists , pantheists , panentheists , pandeists , agnostics , religious skeptics etc and Christians who reject religious practices then its not the exclusive to atheists - this means its not really your thing . Just general benefits to people who reject religion .

You dig ?

deeper levels of critical thinking?

what is your own definition of critical thinking?? unbelief in God? so for the fact that atheists don't believe in god, they now have achieved a deeper level of critical thinking?


free thought?

Repeatedly calling other people 'dumb' doesn't make you 'smart' brother. We're sharing opinions on a subject not insulting people.

hey I will show you his point!

his point is that what you said is not peculiar to atheism. but what the op is asking is something that should be peculiar to atheism.

if you say you share the same benefits with Deism, then it doesn't make sense to the op because it is not out of your atheism if a deism who doesn't share the same belief with you would have such benefit.

Still sounding dumber!

yes, who says it makes people smart? but smart people can still tell when someone is dumb, which is what I just did.

yes we share opinions, but you first insulted 98% of the world who hold a belief in God. because you meant that theists don't have deeper critical thinking. just because the believe in god.

can you now clearly see why you are dumb?

sorry, this is not an insult. So, deal with it!

'Atheists achieve "deeper" levels of critical thinking and free thought'.

This statement doesn't insult theists. The word "deeper" as a comparative didn't assert that theists do not think critically as you tend to assume.

Stop feeling insecure.

Yep its official. Atheism offers nothing but Spite, bitterness, anger, hatred, psychopathy, delusion, pride and worst of all a false sense of intelligence .

Atheism offers Zip in positivity.

You're on the internet created by Tim Berners lee- an atheist
And you're on a public forum created by seun osewa- an atheist
I just named two things you use regularly
So your comment is ignorant
Atheists and religious people have both helped mankind
Just to add Alan Turing the father of computer science helped win world war 2 by cracking the enigma code. I'm sure you have a smartphone and I'm sure you know who Mark zuckerberg is
And Thomas Alva Edison invented the motion picture camera and the lightbilb
