Why do Atheists Hate Religion?

[BitNow]

So why would we think that we know anything about atheism or other religion except that somebody who DOES know tells us?

There have been so many false prophets, claims of divinity, and books written throughout the centuries... how do you know that yours is the correct one?

What if the ancient Sumerians had the correct god(s)?

How do you know the Hindus are wrong?

I hear-tell the Muslims also have a holy book, and a divine messenger... how do you know they are wrong?

Satan is a role in the Torah.

Is very well possible that satan the demon does not exist: in ancien hebrew the term satan was assigned to entities that needs to induce into temptetion someone.

According to this translator posted in the video it is very possible that satan the demon does not exist.


Best regards.

I believe that that is on the other side of life, but so far have to believe in science and technology because this is our reality

Atheists often criticize religion, so a perception develops that atheism must be anti-religious — but this is not quite true. Atheism is just the absence of beliefs in gods and can thus occur inside or outside the context of religion. Thus, an atheist might be devoutly religious, devoutly anti-religious, or completely apathetic with regards to religion — exactly as with theists. It all depends on the individual and what ideas, beliefs, or principles they have aside from atheism.

The previous umpteen times this information has been posted has been met by derision by a small but vocal group of pro-religious posters.

Apparently that noisy few think they understand atheism better than atheists -- I guess they know what you think better than you do.

'm a religion person
Sometimes I was amazed to Atheists
Usually religion people do good deeds to get heaven

If you need something in return to be able to do good, then thats so bad.

[etparle]

I don't think atheists hate religion, I think they hate having others beliefs forced upon them

No thats fine, what others hate is imposing hypocritic actions thats bounded with their beliefs like killing people that are gay because they think gays are not people, It just amaze me because homosexuality is observed over 450 species and being homophobic exist in only 1 specie and that's us. Add those people degrading a woman when she's a prostitute.
This 2 are still happening in our generation because of religion.

Great example is this one

This actually goes deeper than that. Simply being aware that you're doing a "good deed" means you're getting some satisfaction in exchange for it even if you say you don't need anything in exchange. This is somewhat of a paradox but a true "good deed" cannot truly be a "good" deed, it can only be a natural and thoughtless/selfless act where the doer is completely unaware that he is doing something that others might label as "good".

Right. Even Solomon says, in Proverbs 25:27:

It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.

I like "when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing"

There was an older gentleman named John who I met at Tipitina's that described his idea of living with, "i just ask the Universe to everyday bless me with opportunities to help somebody."

Well I think atheists hate religion for two reasons. The first reason why they hate religion is that they don't believe that Gods exist. The second reason why they hate religion is that many base their beliefs based on scientific facts. I think that's the two main reasons why atheists hate religion.

Two major points about your post:
1. Science proves God exists;
2. Science theory is formally not fact.

How's not believing in any god that exist makes you hate? I can't see it relatable.

It is contradicting that you said religion base their beliefs in scientific facts. Man, are you high?

Were you talking to me with this post? I mean, it followed one of my posts, but it doesn't seem to be directed at anyone.

Just in case it was meant for me, I'll play your game with you a little.

Well your whole life is boring. So what's new?

and you say my life is boring? cant wait to see what you do with this one.
admit it dude, you like me dont you? oh jeezus i love trolling you!

hey sorry to keep you waiting... i was doing other things like having a life, 

[groll]

I am not an atheists, I believe that God do exist.  But I do not have a stable religion, I mean I can enter and attend different religion in our country.  My friends are of different beliefs, and when they asked me to attend their church service I will go. 

Maybe some atheist hate religions because sometimes it is mind boggling.  There are rituals that seems not so logical, not so practical.  You might think that why they have to do such ritual that sometimes affect their lives.

legendster [OP], the answer to your question is of the simple kind: atheists hate religion because religion hate atheists.

It is because religions were born by slavery cultures.
Most of religions were designed and followed by slaves and it has same patterns with slavery.

Slavemaster has unhappy slaves -> Unhappy slaves creates better and bigger slavemaster for all slavemasters and slaves to avoid psychological problems being a slave.

That's it.

In ancient times slavemaster did not have any belief outside our world. They generally lived in hedonism like world is a heaven. And it was real truth.
But there were more slaves than slavemasters, they could never reach that pleasure seeking life so they completely rejected pleasures out of jealousy and ban them as sin for "big slavemaster called god".

It is not the other way around although I agree that most religion hate atheist, atheist doesn't hate religion at all they hate the illogical actions that religion makes. This are a good idea.

Well if you think about it. The word hate is not at all to be used in context. Atheists do not hate religion. They just dont believe in any. And religions dont hate atheist. They just dont agree with their opinions.

When an atheist believes in atheism strongly enough that he can speak and write about his atheism, he proves that he has an atheism religion, according to the dictionary definition of what religion is - http://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion?s=t.
