How I feel as an Atheist in America... Superior

[–]bricardo 5 points6 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Of course there are many intelligent theists, but I think the point is that it's hard to consider the belief in a deity, intelligent. It seems, to most atheists, an irrational and stupid decision based more on tradition rather than the conclusion of a rational decision-making process.

This recent found love of reddit to bash atheists based on their ridicule of religion and equating it to a religion type organization makes no sense.

edit for clarity: I understand the point many in the comments are making, but I can't help but feel they are misguided in thinking this type of joke has any other target other than religion itself. I'm sure most of us atheists have many loved ones that are believers.

As someone who came to religion at least partially through rational decision making, I object to your premise. I was raised in a secular household and began my still ongoing conversion in my early 30s.

This recent found love of reddit to bash atheists based on their ridicule of religion and equating it to a religion type organization makes no sense.

I think you should at least expect to take what you dish out, and if you are 100% at ease saying that anyone who is religious is so because of an 'irrational and stupid decision', then you should be able to at least see how that if a certain number of people also feel this way, and throw it out there enough, there's going to be some blowback eventually.

Is the blowback coming in scripture form? Because other than that, I've never seen a half convincing argument for religion. You're free to believe it, but I don't think rationale enters in your belief.

Reddit's recent found love to bash atheists is found more on the constant posts that flood the front page due to r/atheism that seem to be -nothing- more than Atheists commenting on the stupidity of Christians. (Almost always Christians.)

This leads some Redditors to have the idea that r/atheism is more about a bunch of faux-rebellious teenagers with unwarranted self-importance bashing Christianity only because the majority of America is Christian and they are under the impression that being an atheist makes them smarter than everyone.

This, of course, causes these "wannabe atheists" to try and "convert" people to atheism solely on the fact that doing so makes them appear in the right despite the obvious hypocrisy of an atheist acting in an almost fundamentalist way.

Sadly, the majority of r/atheism comes off as this. The only post I've ever seen on r/atheism recently that indicates the way an atheist should treat the most brainless of religious zealots is the one where the 50-year old guy convinces the creationist to believe in evolution by acting as if evolution was "God's tool".

Having respect for those who believe in religion makes us appear all the less petty when we try to convince the religious to understand our stance.

Sorry for the ranting, Its a bit late and I'm just throwing up my thoughts.

Intelligent in what? Sure as hell not in the basic things. Maybe a musical genius, or a poet. I wouldn't call intelligent someone advocating creationism, which is exactly 100% of theists, otherwise what's the point in believing in God?

[–]CowFu 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Intelligent in what? Sure as hell not in the basic things.

You mean like math, history, geography, writing? Because I guarantee there are extremely smart theists that excel in those categories. Old-earth creationism is believed by the catholic church (the majority of christians) which includes evolution and doesn't contradict any current evidence brought by science.

As an atheist in America, I can assure you that you're an asshole, and I'll go out on a limb here and hazard a guess that, if illusory superiority is a real thing, you're just about the intellectual equal of a box of hair.

With only one or two exceptions, I have no idea what any of my friends or most of my family believe in (or do not, as the case may be) because I don't go around trying to pick fights with the people I care about, nor with strangers, for that matter.

Nobody likes a self-important cunt.

I don't know, I have seen a lot of stupid theists in America. As well, how can one be considered smart if they believe in an imaginary figure such as Santa Claus?

[–]Anticonn 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I posted this as a replay elsewhere in this thread, I'll repeat it here:

I disagree, religion targets the young, uneducated and poor for indoctrination, and fortunately in America we have many more impressionable youths than uneducated and/or impoverished people. For most Christians these are beliefs that were ingrained into them at a young age, and to an extent have shaped their personality and defined them as a person. It's not like flipping a light switch to become an atheist (for many people, anyway).

My new boss is a Christian (I know this only because he mentioned Church once, we've not spoken about it beyond that), and he's one of the most intelligent and skilled people I've ever known. I've learned more from him in my first 2 weeks on the job than I did in the 4 years at work before that, and from chewing the fat with him at work it's very apparent that he's not limited to his work, he's a genuinely smart man. And he's fucking hilarious.

Whatever value he gets out of church seems to be working well for him, and I'll be the last one to hate on him for it; I simply do not believe that it's fair to disregard someone's merit only on the grounds of what they were raised to believe.

This is one of the things that really pisses me off about /r/atheism nowadays. People act like becoming a atheist automatically puts them on a completely new intellectual level over theists. People believe in God(s) for many different reasons, you are not an atheist because you are super duper smart and they are all dumb rednecks. Grow up.

I agree, OP was just making a funny. I myself feel like sometimes I could be surrounded by idiots here in Merica but don't think for one second that can actually be true. It's mainly the stigma of ignorance that we like to place on typical Christians because they haven't understood our side of the argument.

Well, OP is kinda an asshole, but the post was certainly a joke, one you don't need to get so up-in-arms about. It probably would've been better to substitute America with the bible belt, because while you live in a place where you're not assaulted by Christians on a daily basis, many people here (including myself) do. You can't say that it doesn't happen by saying "it doesn't happen to me."

[–]ashleyrenae592[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't live in the bible belt but my mom does. I've spent enough time there to feel that way. And you're right, it was a joke. It's reddit...if you post a picture of your dog saying "I have the cutest dog in the world!" you don't get told you're an asshole for making a broad generalization about the ugliness of the rest of the world's dogs. When I posted this, it was with about the same light heartedness as one would have when posting such a thing about their dog. At the same time r/atheism has helped me through a lot of rough stuff...when I would be really down I would come here an seeing things I found funny (even if they weren't entirely accurate) cheered me up. I wasn't saying every other person in the us is an idiot...but I was just saying thats an exagerrated form of how I feel whenever I am forced to defend myself to people I know. It's not just that they're theists, but the way they argue it that makes me feel that way. I don't doubt there are smart theists in the world...I am just not acquainted with any so I feel that way at times.

[–]derptyherp 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Generalizing "America" was a pretty bad move imo. Like enough to be dick worthy. That said, I have to agree with you on that many are from the bible belt, myself included. r/atheism, while getting on my nerves to a point of wanting to repeatedly hit my head by some of the intolerance when presented seriously, has still been the only place I've ever really found support when living in a town like this and having had personal experiences that are pretty horrific relating to religion.

Exactly. I usually tell the nay-sayers to search this board for "thank you /r/atheism" if they honestly think that we only spew hate and intollerance, and that we don't legitimitly help people.

I also tell them that if they want more actual discussions than memes, they should go to the new posts instead of the hot ones.

I have noticed that atheists that tend to think this about themselves are usually the worst at supporting their position. Whether it be pro-atheist/anti-theist.

I still laugh at the crappy level 1 atheists who still think Religion is the main cause of violence/wars etc. A few links regarding democide, historically, gets 99% of them to shut up.

P.S. I'm not pro-theist and anti-atheist. I'm retard averse.

[–]pagoldeneyes 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree with you completely. From my experience, the most widely used development-path for those seeking religious enlightenment is comprised of four stages : 1. Very Religious (usually raised that way. 2. gnostic atheist (rebellion phase you know?). 3. Agnosticism (after actually reading up on the subjects and realizing how complex they are). 4. either religious or agnostic-atheist (an educated decision based on one's personal beliefs and which arguments one finds most convincing).

I think most people you find on r/atheism now a days are still in stage 2. That is why there is more dumb meme's and rage comics and there is intelligent discussion.

Also, I realized I just made a huge generalization about atheism and religious development in general, but this is what I believe to be the norm. I by no means am stating that everyone follows what I have just described

Yes, you're right, my absolute rejection of the possibility of an anthropic creator of the universe is likely to fade over time, based as it is on an understanding of the importance of falsifiability in scientific theories and an understanding of the innate human need to perceive agency in all things.

There are plenty of Atheists and Agnostics in America depending on where you live, and many theists that respect others beliefs and don't believe in the hateful ignorant things that get bred in religion, and live by science but also believe in their religion. However, none of these people sit on corners and scream about how your going to hell, or try to convert you. So you don't notice them as much as you notice those who are totally batshit insane.

It's not necessarily about whether or not you're trying to force someone, it's about the fact that religions are vocally and demonstrably wrong.

It's like when you get annoyed by that person who spreads internet rumors as if they were facts, except they do it systematically and base their lives on it. And vote based on it.

The 'quiet' ones to me aren't much better. They're like the tea party voters who didn't care enough to demonstrate; they still lend power to the tea party via votes, association, and economic contributions.

Bible-belter here.. Small-town bible-belter at that.. Is it just coincidence that the ignorant people around here just happen to be christian too? Practically everyone around here is Christian.. Practically everyone around here is an idiot. (Life experiences have shown me this in one way or another) My path (haha) to Atheism has been one driven by my logic. I love Science and learning about life around me.. Given then information I know about my surroundings, it leads me to believe Christianity and other religions for that matter are wrong and do not coincide with what I know. Does my brain work differently than the majority of my fellow statesmen? I have noticed the majority of people do not wish to know why. They question nothing.. I wonder about everything, is that why?

As an american who, granted, yes lives up north, people are instantly ridiculed and get the front end of the atheism snob mobile for saying they believe in god.

I know what your saying man. Sometimes I want to pack up my stuff and just move to Europe where people are so much more accepting and tolerant of others. It's good to see a entire continent so progressive that they are even going so far as to pick up America's slack in the Separation of Church and State.

Can't wait for my ticket out of this hell hole full of fundies.

Hey brochacho. For the most part, I agree. But we are out there. I myself have many atheist friends, even living in a pretty red part of my state.

Like, South America or North America? Or do you live in both? Or are you referring to the USA and drowning me in irony?

I am so feeling this right now. I just read a facebook post from some idiot acquantaince saying that modern television is "satan's agenda" and we need not be sucked in. I just can't deal with it.
