Why are the atheists even on the religion and spirituality section of this web site?

Question

They must have some interest in spirituality and religion, or they wouln't be concerned here. Am I wronge, what is the deal?

Answer 1

God is the The Supreme Popular. So even the athiests talk about Him. I call Him Krishna and others know Him as Jehovah and others Allah. He's so popular. To the atheiste God is so much everywhere that He is nowhere.

Answer 2

Well you answered your own question in part. Atheists can and do have interest in religion and spirituality - I like learning about religions, same as I like Greek mythology. Interesting stories.

Other reasons are that religion affects each and every one of us. It affects the laws that are made, the politicians that are elected, the future for our children. Some of us think that the world teeters on a precarious knife edge at the moment and is on that edge because of the irrational thinking that is often associated with religion.

If you need other answers, check out the hundreds of other times it has been asked - seems we can't go for more than an hour without addressing this.

Answer 3

Because they worship something. Here are some definitions of the word:
1. A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
2. A specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects.
3. Something one believes in and follows devotedly.

They do believe in something. It is the same thing with satanists and people with scientology. They all believe and worship something, it's just they worship or believe in something other than God.

Answer 4

Just before you post a question, Yahoo Answers pops up a little window that lists similar questions to try and discourage people from asking the same question over and over again.

For some reason that I still cannot ascertain, Christians seem to ignore this completely and continue to post this same question every single day.

Which pretty much sums up the attitude most of them have: "If it's not written in the bible, I can't see it!"

So here's your canned answer: Spirituality is not limited to YOUR belief system, O Ignorant Child.

Answer 5

Why do the Christians-- in fact, anyone-- keep bringing up this point?

If they have an opinion, they have the right to discuss it here. Some atheists have spiritual beliefs, some want to input their own opinions in religious discussions, some want to be assholes and proselytize and try to force others to believe in the nonexistence of a god. It's not your forum, so you don't have the right to say who should and should not post here.

Answer 6

As long as Christianity, as well as several of the other "ultimate truths", have as their end and gleefully sought after goal, the END OF THE WORLD, and as long as they believe that their rights are being violated if they are denied the opportunity to use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down every ones throat, you will have to put up with us being in your face. Why should we abandon a forum where we can let you know that you will not be allowed to carry out the silly "End Times" rubbish that you seem to forget would include the rest of us.

Answer 7

An atheists that have spirituality are really called agnostics.

Black and white are both colors... opposites but yet still colors.

Religion and the belief of a lack of religion are still both belief systems. Opposites but still both correct for the holder of that view.

Answer 8

Why does it bother you so? Some of us are genuinely curious, of course others still pick on eight year old kids for believing in Santa.
Which is pretty close to the way most atheists see religious zealots here.

Answer 9

human beings? How did this classification get titled the "cats" section? All of you draw close out right here so i became only thinking how the call of the class have been given all jacked up? Is "cats" code for "human beings pass right here" ? capture me up. yeah, that's suitable, jerk@$$, different types are for discussing the matters handy, no longer kissing each and every others' @$$es for being a member of a undeniable team.

Answer 10

I'm not sure about the atheists, but the Ninja are studying both groups.

The Ninja say, "it is important to take an interest in all things."

Answer 11

Awesome question. It gets asked nearly every day, and the answers are always the same. I am convinced that the atheists are secretly "wanna be Christians".
