In your opinion , how many people are atheists that live as if they're religious ? Why ?

Answer 1

Your question makes no sense. The literal answer is "none", but if you mean, how many atheists live their lives yet fail to kill anyone, or steal, or live by some moral code, then you have a mistaken view of what it means to be religious.

Answer 2

--Atheists believe that there are no Gods/is no God.--

a·the·ism Pronunciation (th-zm)
n.
1.
a. Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.
b. The doctrine that there is no God or gods.
2. Godlessness; immorality.

--There fore how can an atheist be religious?--

re·li·gion Pronunciation (r-ljn)
n.
1.
a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

To say an atheist is religious is an oxymoron.

Answer 3

There are some. I don't think they have exact numbers. I've heard of some atheists (don't know any personally) that go to church because their families did, and it is a cultural thing. Some think that although there are no gods, the religion teaches some good morals. There are even pastors and priests who have become atheists after a while, but still keep up their parish. Again, they are doing so for personal reasons. In some communities in the US and around the world, it is much safer to go through the motions.

These days, though, most atheists that need such an outlet become Universal Unitarians or join an Ethical Uniion.

Answer 4

Well ,what do athiests live like? I don't practice anything currently and I live the same as I always have.Many pagan peoples living near Israel had very decent lives despite not worshipping the real God of the Jews.The Canaanites lived wonderfully says a story in Smithsoniaon or National Geographic magazines.So did the Egyptians several thousands of years before Christ.Human wisdom makes people live decently,not just worshipping Christ.God is also in the humanity of all people as he created everyone ;I believe they all have some knowledge of Goodness via the creation that they were part of.

Answer 5

There are a great many people who pretend to be religious for many reasons. Some are married to a religious mate. In order to keep peace in the family, one will go to church and pretend to believe. If it makes a happy family, why not ?
Since there are more believers than non-believers, many polititians and business men will go to church to be seen by the customers and voters.
Sitting in church listening to something that doesn't add up to you is considered a small price to pay for many votes that might put you in a big-buck, easy office.
Same with the business man. If his business is in an area of church die-hards, he'd better be one of them.

Answer 6

Let me tell you this about Atheists,first of all the majority of those who claim to be atheists are not, they are angry and confused when it comes to God and religion and the only label that they can identify with is that of the atheist.
The reason that people are true atheists is because they are ego-centric,it`s got to be all about themselves all of the time,behind this ego dwells a massive wall of pride,and as long as it is in place nothing can or will get past their stubborn ego.
So what is the answer? well the only time proven remedy is Humility,they must recognize that they are not the center of the universe,that in the scheme of things they are not that important,and come away from what is known as the armchair tyrant mentality,and unless they do or allow someone to help them to do this they will always have this turmoil deep down inside.
I have met many true atheists and those who think they are in my time and all of them suffer from being too ego-centric, and while pride lives in their hearts there can be no place for God.

Answer 7

Not sure exactly what you are asking. But the vast majority of us live with a similar moral code. You can see that in the lower than average prison rates and the lower that average divorce rate. If this is what you are referring to the why is because that is the most logical way to live if you want to be happy.

Answer 8

LIve as if they were religious-umm do you mean with morals, values and care for others then probably 100% of them do. We live like that because it is the right way to live and to care for others is a basic inheirited thing not caused by religion but by genetics.

Answer 9

I don't know about every atheist, but I have seen some that act "religious", basically doing a lot of good deeds. It makes them feel like their a "good person" when in actually we are all dirty sinners that need to be washed in the blood of Jesus which will make us white as snow. (To be saved just believe in Jesus that makes you having believed in God the Father.)

Answer 10

Right on what Bad Liberal said. I don't need religion to live my life morally. Furthermore, I would be morally opposed to many things that the religious hold dear.
