Think for once. Look at the whole world far from yourself and see all the calamities Religion have caused.
For thousands of years it has caused more division than ever and before it becomes the cause of the third world holocaust, i think we need to retrace our steps and destroy Religion. If the whole world could agree to stop being Religious, come together and mend the divide, dont you think we will fare better?

Join the campaign to destroy Religion.

do we now have them on nairaland?

same old, same old crap

@diluminati You are correct but religion holds too much significance for people. It is their way of coping with a a life that may otherwise be unbearable. Sometimes, reality is too much to handle. If you take religion away you must be able to replace it with something else or there will just be chaos and despair.

Wise words joyuchesun !

Religion keeps the religious mind in check and order. It is a tool of control, without it, the religious minded will be confused as he would not know where to turn to resulting to chaos.

come together and mate

You can cope with life perfectly without religion. ask the bill gates, richard branson, mark zuckerberg, and the few people who discard religion to be able to live their life. Religion breeds FEAR, only FEAR and division. If you think its a lie check yourself.

Then you dont know how powerful the human mind is. man created religion and he can also end it. once we realise we dont want to be mind controlled by religious muppets then the revolution begins. Watch out, =the world is gradually becoming Atheist and religion is losing its importance.

The heathen rage and imagine a vain thing , do away with religion might be a common ground we agree, but Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the Life.

Without Him you are as lost as an urban frog !

Religion is the opium of the masses. Meaning the masses need their daily dose of opium to give them false hope and blind them from the reality of life.

Religion is the opium of the masses

You heard that from your communist mentor Karl Marx , right ?

The same man who invented the communist ideology that claimed over 94 million lives by the end of the 20th century    Even Muhammad and the Catholics could not outdo Stalin, Chairman Mao and co.


How some people are just plain blind and do not realize it , is perplexing to say the least.

Oh and while you are at it, don't forget the other deluded confused atheist called Hitler !!!!!!!!


People murdered by intelligent communist atheists in the 20th Century

    65 million in the People's Republic of China
    20 million in the Soviet Union[3]
    2 million in Cambodia
    2 million in North Korea
    1.7 million in Africa
    1.5 million in Afghanistan
    1 million in the Communist states of Eastern Europe
    1 million in Vietnam[4]
    150,000 in Latin America
    10,000 deaths "resulting from actions of the international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power."

^65 million during the Cultural revolution. Chinese traditional Religion sufferred a lot in this period.

Even the great Karl Marx, said that Religion is the opium of the masses.it is something we were born in,is something we grew with and is something we will die with.Just becos religion is creating some unwanted chaos,doesn't mean we should let it go.any one practising his religion genuinely should be proud of it.

this in fact, is a lie. Hitler was an atheist. His professed Christianity was a front to garner political support. This is especially possible since the number of outspoken atheists in those times were few. A good number of people in his cabinets were atheists e.g Herman Goeerring and Adolf Eichmann. Hitler was something of a Christian atheist (and an avid Darwinist) like the Norwegian terrorist Breyvik (sic)

@Uyi Iredia

christian atheist, hmm, funny ideology. So as a christian atheist, you mean you dont follow these christian beliefs or what do you make of the below statement by hitler

Hitler seeking power, wrote in Mein Kampf. ", I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord's work." Years later, when in power, he quoted those same words in a Reichstag speech in 1938

is it that you[i] feel[/i] he was using christianity as a front to commit evil? you feel it? but what does the world think, isnt that what matters?

@Uyi Iredia

Sir, start your research [url=http://www.google.com.ng/search?sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=hitler%27s+religion&btnG=Search]here[/url]

I completely agree with you, religion has done more harm than good. Life would have been much better without religion.

Miss ChatterBox, read the below and then we can talk . Quit chattering about a matter you are unsure of . 






Quotes from Hitler himself are hardly trustworthy on anything at all, as he is known to have been a notorious liar. The known facts about Hitler and religion are:


1. He had a Catholic upbringing.

2. When he left home he ceased religious observance.

3. Some of his speeches (and "Mein Kampf" refer to providence, the Creator and so on.


Hitler never specifically named a preferred religion, although he used religious terms when expedient for him to do so. His experiences as a soldier in WW1 brought him to the belief that religions are mainly for the benefit of the religious leaders, such as Bishops, Cardinals, and the Pope.


Certainly some of his early actions as German Chancellor speak more about his religious position than any direct profession of faith, such as his sterilization law, the disbandment of the Catholic Youth League(Shirer, The Rise), his agreement with the Vatican to allow the Catholic Church to regulate its own affairs (it is probably worth noting here the low value that Hitler placed on written agreements), pressuring parents to take their children out of religious schools, banning state teachers from taking part in Church-organized voluntary religious classes, banning crucifixes in classrooms, encouraging SS officers and men to leave the Church and the institution of neo-pagan rituals for marriage ceremonies and baptisms in the SS. Hitler remained conscious of the affection for the Church felt in some quarters of Germany, particularly Bavaria.


Hitler's references to providence and God and the ritualistic pageantry of Nazism were more than likely pagan than Christian. Earthly symbols of German valour and Teutonic strength were to be worshipped - not the forgiving, compassionate representative of an "Eastern Mediterranean servant ethic imposed on credulous ancient Germans by force and subterfuge" (the phrase is Burleigh's own, in Michael Burleigh, The Third Reich: a New History, Pan, 2001). A Hitler Youth marching song (Grunberger, A Social History) illustrates it:


We follow not Christ, but Horst Wessel,

Away with incense and Holy Water,

The Church can go hang for all we care,

The Swastika brings salvation on Earth.


(Horst Wessel was an early Nazi party Sturmabteilung street-fighter murdered by communists and turned into a martyr by propaganda chief Josef Goebbels.)


In addition

The references to a mysterious power above him suggest 'rhetorical Christianity'. Many politicians used to pepper their speeches with occasional references to God - and often this is very unconvincing.


Although Hitler referred to Christ as a 'fighter', this is in line with the view of the 'German Christians' of Christ as a 'warrior' (!). This is completely out of step with Christian teachings. To cap it all, Hitler and his movement proclaimed that 'might is right'. I don't see any case for regarding him as having espoused Christian beliefs. Odd scraps of some vague belief in 'higher forces' is at best residual Christianity - or superstition.

No doubt Religion is "losing" it importance in the world but to say that the world is gradually becoming Atheist is erroneous because that can never happen if it seem to be happening well wake up thats a false alarm simply because there is something already available that transcends and is better than religion. . . . . "THE LIFE OF GOD IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT EVIDENT ON THE OUTWARD"

Nevertheless though, Religion has been very instrumental in keeping and maintaining that "God Consciousness" that many of those who claim to be what they call "ATHEIST" TRY TO FOOLISHLY IGNORE, HOW SAD!

@newmi, You religious folks ALWAYS love to link the word "fool" with Atheists and I wonder who the fool really is. You are practicing and believing in a religion that was imported by the same people who brought guns,alcohol and took your forefathers away as slaves. Atheists are the ones who question the authenticity of this religion while you cowardly hide in the shadows. Who is the big fool now? You that doesn't know your left from your right. You are nothing but a deluded religious zombie who has been fed with doctrine all his life. All you know is what you are told. You lack the capacity to think for yourself. You are no better than an slowpoke that was born with birth defects and brain problems. I have no apologies for my harsh tone. If you have the impetus to call your betters fools, you'd better have the cohones to back it up. FOOLS! REETARDS!

Knowledge is the only remedy for religion. It will take time, but humanity will be rid of religion in due time. Tremendous progress has been made in the past 200yrs in emasculating and watering down religion.All of what has been achieved in all areas of human life are thanks to emasculation of religion over the past 200yrs.The fact that churchmen are on the defensive is quite remarkable enough. In another 100 -150yrs., the memory of Jehovah would have long faded like other dead gods that litter grounds of history.Zeus, Appolo, Jesus, where are you all now?
A new study has revealed that 60% of US college graduates are less religious than they were before they entered college. This has become very worrisome for religious authorities because of the aging population of diehard religious faithfuls. Yaaaaaaaahhhoooooooo. Education is working(in this part of the world). For frosbel, sorry. No matter how much and how hard you indoctrinate your children, the chances are that your grand children are going to shun religion and all that you hold holy in your faith. Live with it. Its not going to be my faulth or stephen Hawkins fault or any athiest for that matter. Your grandchildren are going to be living in a different world where god will not be needed.
Africa, though, is a basket case because there are too many things mixed in the same dirty bowl, such as poverty, illiteracy and half of it, superstition, political and economic instability, ethnic tensions, religion and of course, greed.

, And chances are, your grandchildren will embrace God.

Ah illuminati adherents have arrived. Illuminati wannabe.

History beckons you to read it and understand it and speak the truth.

Christianity is not the white man religion as some of you chaps keep repeating , now it's beginning to sound like a broken record.

Christianity started in the middle east and spread through what was formerly the eastern part of the roman empire before going west.

The western form is called the Constantine brand . It is warlike, intolerant and totally false. Albeit there were still many in the west who held on to the humble. altruistic and pure form of Christ-likeness.

Some of them did indeed come into Africa but a large band of missionaries were really not the type that one will call true believers. Irrespective of certain vices they brought ( not all were missionaries and not all missionaries were corrupt ) , there was still a positive aspect to it. Schools, hospitals, education and the exposure of the heathen at the time to the gospel of Christ . For this there can be no regret.

Atheists are the ones who question the authenticity of this religion while you cowardly hide in the shadows. Who is the big fool now?

Atheist are FOOLs, apologies for saying this, the bible says it not me !!

You follow genocidal ideologies like that of Karl Max and co and yet have the gall to start talking about religion ?

Look at North Korea, Russia and even China with all the suppression, madness and oppression. Are these not atheist countries. Are they your role model 

When Stalin and Hitler collectively wiped out 200 million souls, was that the type of atheism you were referring to 

Poor deluded souls !!!

You that doesn't know your left from your right. You are nothing but a deluded religious zombie who has been fed with doctrine all his life.

No it is the atheists who are confused souls, jumping on to every religious atheist doctrine such as that of Karl Marx,  Richard Dawkins , Christopher hitchens ( a drunk )  and co. Come up with something original which in your own words disproves religion altogether and stop hanging on to to every word of the white man.


Time and Time again you have established your foolishness , now you are beginning to sound like a toddler with a tantrum problem  !

^^^ Add Pol Pot!

@diluminati I agree with you that religion is a problem and has done more harm than good. my point is that from a psychological perspective, people are so deeply indoctrinated with religious beliefs that it will be quite difficult to get them to change their views. This can even be seen on this website. So many have given clear arguments about the true origins of the bible and the real purpose of religion as a form of control. But still, many argue that the bible is the infallible word of God.

What are you proposing, that all churches and mosques close and islam, christianity, and other religions are eliminated? This is not possible because some people would not know what to do with themselves. They would not know how to think, how to cope, how to live.

@frosbel what is a "Militant religiously fanatical atheist"?

Frosbel said it best. Atheistic governments and societies have been the most murderous, brutal and repugnant of any in the last 300 years.

When you don't give human beings inherent value (which atheism believes) then you can justify any manner of atrocity against those you seek to oppress.

Atheism will always have this problem. It's dehumanizing which always leads to horrific evil.
