If you’re an atheist, what would be your motive in spreading atheism, and why would you care what others believe?

I do have a motive to move the human race beyond medieval belief systems, because these belief systems have been and continue to be the greatest source of violence and prejudice against one another. It continues today:

a person is never indoctrinated by religion in the first place, and remains an atheist from birth

If the different religions represent different channels on the TV, then atheism represents simply turning the TV off. This is why atheism is perceived as a threat to the existence to ALL religions. Consequently, religion seeks to fabricate the lies of claiming that atheism is something that it is not.

Is it still wrong to spread misinformation even if it's only to troll people rather than harming them?

A: Increase education so that people possess critical thinking for the purpose of making informed and educated decisions based on their own objective reasoning, and not based on religious fear mongering.

Religion ceases to exist when it no longer has any followers. Therefore, mathematically religion considers any source that results in losing followers to be a threat to the existence of that religion. This is why religion vilifies atheism. Religion lies and spreads false accusations about atheism because religion needs to bring atheism down to its own level in order to fabricate a comparison. This is why unethical religious people make false claims about atheism being a belief system.

Who believes this ?

What is the significance of Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader in Major League Baseball, who just passed away?

This continues today….

Why does religion not keep to itself ? Why do religious people attack anyone who is not a member of their religion ?

Why do I care what others believe ?

How are Hinduism and Sikhism related, considering they both originated in Punjab, India?

Also - ban the teaching of religion to children. If adults wish to learn religion then have the freedom to do so, but stop teaching religion to children.

Hitler was a Christian. Stalin attended confession once a month. Hirohito was considered a living god.

I have no motive to ‘spread atheism’ as atheism is not a belief system.

Why do most Indian women cuckold or cheat on their husbands?

Atheism has nothing to do with being a bad person, or a good person. It simply means you do not believe in any gods…..but that still makes it a perceived threat to any religion, because of the reasons atheists do not believe in god: objective reasoning and critical thinking. Religious people need to make the discussion about morality, because every other argument they have crumbles against any analytical review. The mental gymnastics of deflections, and pivots, and ‘interpretations’ never ends.

A: ignorant people

This is all sustained successfully when you keep the masses ignorant. This is why in the Dark Ages peasants were not permitted to read the Bible. It required a member of the church to read it for them. It has always been about controlling the messaging.

Why do people ‘become’ atheists ? There’s only two ways. Since atheism is the absence of any beliefs in any gods, therefore every human that ever lived, and ever will live, including all priests, rabbis, imams, ministers, bishops, cardinals, popes, was born an atheist. Consequently all atheists are the result of one of two scenarios:

Also…..tax the church!!

a person who was indoctrinated as a child, and then chose to let go of their religion after coming to the realization that religion is really all just man made fiction. They return to the state of having no beliefs when they entered the world.

Which Shakespeare words have completely changed meaning in modern English?

This is why religious people ban books.

I do not care what others believe IF AND ONLY IF other people do NOT impose their beliefs on others. That is the irony of all religions - it never keeps to itself. Why is Israel slaughtering innocent people in Gaza ? Religion. Why did Hamas slaughter innocent people on Oct. 7 ? Religion ? Why did the Supreme Court remove freedoms from American women to allow American men to control what they can do with their own bodies ? Religion.

Religion is holding the rest of us back. Religion seeks to preserve people to only reading one book, that was written more than a thousand years ago by ignorant flat earthers who believed the sun revolved around the earth.

So, how do we accomplish elevating people such that they are not so easily brainwashed by religion ?

Monarchs, Emperors, Czars, and dictators all have used religion to both polarize their citizens as well provide themselves with a solution for committing atrocities. Some even make claim to being a god.

So, my motive is not to ‘spread atheism’, since that makes no sense, but through increasing education of everyone, and teach critical thinking skills, and include teaching science, mathematics, literature, the arts, and accurate history, more people will let go of their religion, and as a consequence there will be more atheists as an end result.

Look at history: the highest level of oppression and tyranny have always been built upon religion.

This is the irony of religion - if god was real there would be no need for bibles or churches. But religious people feel the need to be the ‘messengers’, as well as the enforcers. That alone verifies that there is no god.

Atheism is simply the absence of any belief in any gods. Full stop!
