Arguements against religion is usually answered with a arguement against atheism and vice versa. If you are to look at only atheism then you would never change because you would never hear otherwise as the same with other religions. So I must say before you decide on being a atheist look into every other possibility and you may find something else that is alot more understandable. Question your belief hardly ask impossible questions and if it comes out clean then their you have it a foolproof look at life that no one can prove wrong.
Im sure this thread will lead to alot of hate towards me but if you do as i have said then you will come out rewarded believe me.

You present yourself like a jackass. why are you offering guidance to only atheists and singling them out. Why not tell everyone to look at every religion possible. I get the impression that you believe athesim to be close-minded. but the way I see it it is just as close-minded as taking another stance that happens to be an organized religion.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^
if you really paid attencion to what i said then you wouldof seen that I was moreover using atheism as a example as it seems to be a very close minded type of religion even though technically it isnt a religion. What you just said shows alot of bad towards atheism and it seems to me sugar that you hold atheism close to you as if it was a religion.

hey, who was it who had a quote of me saying something about a burn? :D

Define: Religion

# a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
# an institution to express belief in a divine power



If an atheist denies the supernatural, how is it anything like religion? I'd say its more of a belief. You can't compare religion and atheism simply because they are both beliefs. Lots of things are beliefs and you can't just lump shit up like that. Doesn't work.

How is atheism close-minded? Atheists are some of the most open-minded people I know. Most atheists were not raised atheists so they had to have an open mind to get to atheism in the first place. Almost every atheist I've ever met has been quite receptive to new ideas, but reluctant to accept them as true until shown sufficient evidence. How is it close-minded to demand evidence before you believe some new idea? It's not that we don't consider the possibility of a supernatural, it's just that we see a conspicuous lack of evidence for it. If the supernatural interacts with our physical universe, where's the evidence? If it doesn't, what's the point of religion since nobody can possibly come to know anything about it?

Also, note that if you're going to believe in anything you pretty much have to reject thousands of religions, past and present. The atheist just happens to reject one more religion than the believer.

atheism is lack of religion so its not a religion.

i dont believe in fairy tales, theres no magical being from up in the clouds looking down on us, i have no soul and neither do you and if you seem to think you do please show me where its at and make a believer out of me. show me god and ill believe

open your mind, think for your self dont let some book written by men thousands of years ago think for you.

You can't compare religious people to atheists, that is the entire basis of our objecti0ns, we're not like you. We don't believe, we don't have faith, because there's nothing to believe in but what's in front of us, and what's insinde of us; our potential.

religion was fairly well defined.

and athiesm is fairly well defined as a religion that is anti-religion.

# a strong belief in the lack of any supernatural power, or powers that controll human destiny
# a disorgonized institution that expresses it's strong belief that there is no divine power.
