As an atheist, would you say that your non-belief in God is the basis for your atheism, and that distaste for religion follows from that?
(I understand that not all atheists hate religion, so this is primarily directed at those who reject religion in addition to non-belief)
Or would you say that it was non-acceptance/ disagreement with religion which came first, and that non-belief in God followed from that?
Naturally, I presume that you're intelligent and have possibly studied philosophy, science, theology, myths, etc.
I'm not particularly concerned with those things, as I have studied each quite extensively myself. If discussing those helps provide a context for your answer though, fine. However, I'm mostly interested in whether the connection between rejecting God and rejecting religion is a necessary connection.
looking forward to some insightful responses!
