At what point where there more atheist than christians? Show us the date and period in time? Thanks

Atheism started between the 5th and 6th century BC and became popular around second century BC in countries like India , Christianity started in the first century AD .

Since Christianity started 500 years later , it means at some point there were atheists and no Christians and more atheists than Christians(when Christianity began).

Its just common sense sir , what atheists lack apparently

How can anyone open a thread without making sure to cover all angles and without making proper research?

Atheism began before Christianity and if it was a good truthful idea then it should have thrived faster and longer than Christianity which began 500 years later. A whole 500 years gap between them and yet Christianity caught up and overtook atheism and as good as left atheism in her dust and DumbBizzle as always does not see how Dead on arrival his thread is. grin

Christianity is the red race car. I had to add this gif so DumbBizzle can clearly understand using images what overtaking looks like grin

He is desperate you can tell also . The global study showing the massive decline of atheists hit him like a thunder bolt . He is trying to control the damage without thinking leading him to make more mistakes and reveal the truth .

Ironically practically all of the businesses In Nigeria which employ jobless people like you and which teach self subsistence and job creation are owned by the religious of which Christianity is a major part.

Joblessness is self caused and not a religious problem. You can begin and run your own business thereby creating jobs for yourself and others (no matter how small)

Your analogy is a failed one. cheesy

Re: The Power Of A Simple Idea- Atheism And Its Spread by Nobody: 8:10pm On Oct 19, 2017
Lol op are you an atheist evangelist grin just kidding man. But you really promote atheism so religiously. Just an opinion, I think it'd be better if you actually promote the ideas more and spend more time arguing concepts instead of discussing atheism itself. Because posts like this, if they were to 'convert' any theist, they'd it'd be no different from dogma found in other belief systems.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Abolitionism

Meanwhile in 2017 , president of atheist nation Kim Jong-Un takes 13 year old girls as sex slaves
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/perverted-north-korea-leader-kim-11206069

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



What a daft reply. Was christianity implicit in the translatlantic slave trade? YES! Churches have apologized for their roles in slavery.

There is even slavery in the bible.

My guy, go and sleep. You can't even see how dull your comment is. Do you know any communist here among nairaland atheists?

There was no internet in 5 BC yet there were atheists. If there could be atheists in 5 BC even without the internet and there came Christians 500 years later even without the internet yet both grew until the internet emerged and Christianity even without the internet spread like wild fire while atheism struggled and now with the internet the spread of Christianity has tripled while atheism is still struggling and just growing to match the pace of the increase in world population and not growing apart from the world population.

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

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. cheesy
Is there going to be such an award?
I already have a candidate in mind.

Some slowpokes do not realise the truth when it is being said.

Here is a quote

In the East, a contemplative life not centered on the idea of deities began in the sixth century BCE with the rise of Jainism, Buddhism, and certain sects of Hinduism in India, and of Taoism in China. Within the astika ("orthodox" ) schools of Hindu philosophy, the Samkhya and the early Mimamsa school did not accept a creator-deity in their respective systems.

Philosophical atheist thought began to appear in Europe and Asia in the sixth or fifth century BCE

When truth is staring the atheists in the face and they have nothing more to say or cannot deny it they resort to one word as their anthem. The word is LIAR! They begin chanting LIAR LIAR even when THE HISTORY OF ATHEISM is available for all to simply google up.

They are simply silly clowns. It's common knowledge that atheism has ancient roots.

The 5th Century BCE Greek philosopher Diagoras of Melos strongly criticized religion and mysticism. Critias, an Athenian statesman and uncle of Plato, viewed religion as a human invention used to frighten people into following moral order.

Atomist philosophers in the 5th Century BC, such as Leucippus and Democritus, attempted to explain the world in a purely materialistic way, without reference to the spiritual or mystical. Democritus specifically explained that the indivisible atoms that he believed made up everything in the universe had existed forever, so that the earth had never been "created" as such by any God or gods.

Those were all "the first atheists" as it were.

To them atheism feels like a brand new never before seen jacket so I understand their fad. grin

I always tell people that atheism is a passing phase. Every single adherent always moves on to something else and often times they simply go full circle and back to being religious again. This explains why atheism is on the decline.

Be it in their old or young age, at some point they would go full circle. Even DumbBizzle will not miss his own full circle when the time comes.
