Why do Atheists Hate Religion?

[sergeyzol]

Atheists are free and therefore there is no reason for hatred.

Then why hate religion?

Do you hate people who rape 8 years old kids, over and over?  Or steal money from poor or handicapped?

You should hate religion for the same reason.

I also hate atheist who do those things. Should I just hate the human species then?

raping a 8yr old kid should not involve a religion, those people should be hated and castrated no matter the religion status, and  I've never read that it says that raping kids is ok, unless it's Islam where Muhammad was married to a kid... But the person can be, a christian, atheist, pagan,etc.. Religion doesn't follow mental illness, but mental illness follows religion.

Tell it to the Catholic priests.  Church harbors and defends pedophiles, it has been doing it for hundreds of years.

Fucking altar boys has been strictly Catholic thing to do.

Cases pedofelia do happen among Catholic priests, but we also know cases when Muslims are zoofeliya. Which is worse? All these cases indicate that any religion is nonsense. But Islamism is the worst nonsense because aggressive.

I don't know about that, I kind of like buddhism, no gods and siht more like spiritualism on a personal level, helping you becoem a better person. Better person towards yourself and towards others.

Buddhism is one of the most aggressive religions. but it was not always so. Buddhism has a very wide distribution in India. Previously, there were many religious conflicts. Any religion provokes conflicts.

Well, at least we know you are not an atheist. After all, you don't know if God exists or not. Atheists claim He doesn't. But they don't know it for sure. So, they are liars. You would rather ignore the question altogether.

Anyone who claims that they are not religious but make judgments about religious topics (eg: truth of the Bible, non-existence of God, morality of adultery, etc.) has made a religious statement. Belief in naturalism by atheists is their faith.

Religious people are always trying to prove they are better than you. Here we have one of them calling us inferior. Same shit as ISIS only non violent.. Its no wonder religion has caused so much suffering world wide. Its followers look down upon other religious beliefs as well as non believers. Completely the opposite of what their holy books teach them.

Not really.  Just like

criticising hunting will not make you a hunter

or criticizing prostitution will not make you a prostitute

BTW, naturalism is not a faith, it is a worldview.  By DEFINITION, no faith is required to have this position.

People who try to be non-religious are always proving that they are hypocritical, or at least weak thinkers. Here we have someone claiming that someone else is calling non-religious claiming people inferior, when the opposite is true. The non-religious claiming person is calling himself and the rest of his kind inferior.

In the spirit of keeping the non-religious claiming people NON-inferior, one must agree with them, at least in this instance. So they ARE inferior, by their own claim.

I think people who need answers for everything need God concept to fill in the gaps in their knowledge.  I am not afraid to say: "I don't know" instead of "God did it".

You are finally catching on a little. They call these kinds of people scientists.

I don't believe in any Gods, ghosts or any supernatural phenomena.   I don't know what is going to happen next, but I'm not afraid.

Obviously, you are SAYING that you don't believe. But the fact that you adamantly say that there is no God, when you don't know for a fact that there is no God, shows that you are setting yourself up as god, higher than any God or potential god... especially in view of all the evidence and facts that show God, that I and many others proclaim. So, you are quite mixed up, and need some spiritual or psychological guidance.

I must be a different human subspecies, I have a missing 'faith' gene :-)

Don't pick on yourself like that. You aren't some kind of a different subhuman species. The fact that God is maintaining order and stability in everything, gives us all a feeling of false security. But if we didn't have it, there would be no pleasure or joy or laughing or fun in life. And God wants us to have these things... according to the ways that are beneficial for us, that He shows us in His Word, the Bible.

I don't know if god exists or not, maybehe does, maybe he doesnt, maybe he exists but left the Earth to ourselves.. who knows, but the situation right now is point to non existance of god of any kind.

In fact, the existence of God does not matter, it is common sense, logic, based on the two reasons, based on rational morality. Maybe religion is not necessary, but faith is indispensable. Even if there is no God, a God must be made.

God does not exist.  We have many unknowns.  God is not any of them.  God is well understood.  It is an imaginary friend, can be reduced to an emotion people experience.

Religion thought Earth was flat and was at the center of the universe.  Today we know that is not the case. 

Religious people were burning people alive for stating what they observed in the real world.  Talk about insanity.

You post some nonsense, as your proof?  You are delusional.

a religion to one's vow.

Note number 6 in the definition. The more you attempt to make atheism to not be a religion, the more you force it into the realm of religious activity according to number 6. Other aspects of the atheism religion fit the definition of religion as well.

Consider. A few things that prove that God exists are listed here:

There are many more when you search for them.

Since God exists, you are setting yourself up as god over God when you say He doesn't. In order to set yourself up against the God of the universe in a meaningful way, you have to be very strong willed. Your strong will is your religion according to number 1 of the definition.

Since you are unwilling to admit to the truth when it is stuck right in front of you, and especially when your actions prove that you are doing the exact things that you are saying you are not doing (maintaining a religion with yourself), you are a liar, and shouldn't be trusted in anything.

God does not exist.  We have many unknowns.  God is not any of them.  God is well understood.  It is an imaginary friend, can be reduced to an emotion people experience.

Religion thought Earth was flat and was at the center of the universe.  Today we know that is not the case. 

Religious people were burning people alive for stating what they observed in the real world.  Talk about insanity.

You post some nonsense, as your proof?  You are delusional. 

There you go again, contradicting the scientific proof I have shown in the links above.

On top of it, you claim that religion thinks. Are you believing in metaphysics when you make this claim?

Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and a whole bunch of other religious atheists were way more practical. They didn't wast time on burning people at the stake. The just shot them.

However, thanks for posting your stuff. But I should be gentle with the weak minded.
