What is it with people these days that atheism is suddenly considered a bad thing?
Is it better to live with a psychosis, believing that you have a persona relationship with a sky creature that also talks back to you and helps specially you?
And no, most atheists aren’t the type of asshole who would start jeering against a grandmother who just wants to be with her dead husband again.
What is it with people these days that atheism is suddenly considered a bad thing?
People who need the existential fear of eternal damnation to keep from raping, assaulting, etc etc cant stand the idea of there being people who exist who don’t need an existential threat to just be decent people.
Also because atheists are a lot like vegans. How do you know if someone’s a vegan? You probably have to be told, because you aren’t paying that much attention to what other people are eating.
A lot of religious people only notice atheists when they’re being annoying. If you’re a Christian who’s not annoying about it, it’s not like you’re asking people to do stuff when a Christian would be busy, you’re more likely to default to assuming they just go to a different church.
There’s also people who take being told when it’s relevant as a pushy annoyance

I feel like atheism has always been considered a bad thing? It’s more widely accepted now than it ever has been.
I totally agree it is the more logical belief, but, religious types not liking non-believers is nothing new

This and phrases like ‘my brother in christ’ are pushed heavily in memes as subversive religious programming.
I think the edgy and outspoken atheist Redditor archetype has had a negative effect on people’s view of atheists in general.
I don’t totally disagree with that view and I do enjoy memes like this one
