Why do Atheist judge so strongly against religions when many of them...?

Question

... in their own secular way seeking a similar dream that religions do, namely being that they want to do away with all the other beliefs of religion and have a secular world which they view in many regards as some type of quasi-utopia, since they of course just like religious people think if everyone was like me (that is of the same mindset) then there would be much less problems in the world and in many regards there would be peace.

So lets go about negating the other beliefs that exist in favor of our prospective, since of course it is the right one. So many go about indoctrinating kids into secularism prospective, reactionary to all the others. How is this any different than Christian ideals, Muslims ideals, and etc, all seeking to negate the other and saying how good this world would be if their beliefs were the only ones where they envision a united world under their own prospective, but go about in other means to bring this about!?! Don't say they dont because many do.

MC Hammer, unfortunately you can't read well. This is the only result I can muster up from your answer since I never said all Atheist HAVE that ideal or that all ATHEIST are anti-religion. I said MANY ARE. Not all, so you have reading comprehension. how can you try to insult someone when you put words in their mouth? Many of the atheist I know have this perception, because they were ex-religious, but a good number of the ones I've meant didn't. I'm speaking through my experience not yours. I know not every atheist is that way which is why I didn't say all of them were.

Answer 1

why does anyone judge? because we do it's a fact of life get over it.

Answer 2

I'm an atheist but I believe religion is good. I don't believe we should do away with religion. I have no doubt there are atheists that are anti-faith but I don't condone a secular rejection of religion because I think without religion there would be less kindness in the world; but it is a hypocrisy for those of faith - and I think it is a minority - to harm those of other faiths particularly in the name of god.

Answer 3

A Christian with a marvelous be attentive to-how of grace makes no declare of ethical superiority over an atheist. And, a minimum of on R&S, I see extra atheists talk approximately Christians asserting it than I see rather Christians asserting it. even nevertheless, stated Christian * will * make it particularly hassle-free that the two, atheist and Christian, are sinners and fall wanting the suited ethical time-honored of God. Does that make it to any extent further palatable for an atheist? i'm assuming not, simply by fact maximum atheists choose not something to do with such claims, whether the Christian includes themselves interior the class. i be attentive to how an atheist could discover the declare jarring, yet that's a well-known guiding principle of Christianity. it may additionally be a well-known guiding principle of Christianity that people who reject the gospel won't acquire salvation. lower back, there is not any ethical superiority right here. I declare no superiority. How am i able to as quickly as I say I definitely have familiar God's unfastened present of grace? Now, those Christians who * do * declare superiority are the two smug or do not comprehend grace (consistent with probability an outstanding sort of the two, definitely). yet, for those Christians who declare not something different than their choose for Christ, nicely, to call them "smug" is rather not installation.

Answer 4

As an Atheist myself, I constantly face the criticism of believers alike. Like you they say we "judge", and that without a doubt is true.

But I'd like to put it to you from my perspective. I think Atheists, unlike believers, do NOT have a set of concrete rules/beliefs that we all commonly share. We do not believe in many reasons, i.e. some may completely believe that there is no such thing as a "greater superior being" or in my case, I do believe that there is God in a greater sense, not a specfic Him, and do not believe in institutionalised religion.

I hope you realise it is not religion itself or God himself we criticise, just the people practising what they think is right. We point out flaws in religion that believers believe in whole, because they have "trust in God". I'm not saying that you cannot trust God, of course, only that religion has been diluted and manipulated by man. The bible itself has been lost in translation, has it not?

We are not saying there shouldn't be religion nor do we try imposing our views on you. Most of us do not, just in the same way, not all muslims are terrorists and not all Christians try to lure others to the church so as to pledge their love to God. Not everyone is a stick in the mud. But your sweeping statement on us is utterly unfair.

I respect my friends who believe in God and I do not try swaying them to believe what I believe nor do they. I do believe that the essense of religion in itself is good, but sometimes it is the insensitive ways that BOTH Atheists and Believers alike approach the issue about religion that makes this pure division of beliefs into something dirty and unacceptable.

Lastly, I'd like to say this once more, not everyone is an extremist or a puritan.

Answer 5

You display yourself incapable of comprehending the facts, or if you can comprehend them, being honest about them. Nor, it seems, have you any grasp of the proper vocabulary. To claim, as you feebly attempt to do, that all atheists are anti-theists is akin to claiming that all christians are Nazis. In both cases it is only a few who are.

The only atheists who attempt to "do away" with religion are ideologues and demagogues, not average people. The largest number of anti-theists in this world are those of your ilk: the religious who seek to ban allo religions except their own.

Keeping religion out of schools,government or the law is not persecution of the religious. Claiming otherwise is a false attempt to hide the criminal acts of the religious.

Keeping religion away from one's door is not persecution. Claiming otherwise is a dishonest attempt to force your religion onto those who do not want it.

The only persecution is in your presecution complex, similar to that of aryan nations types who claim oppression against them when none exists.

Answer 6

Because they too, believe in something, like social justice and equality... That`s why they feel threatened by the idea of God, who represents much more then their single ideas... On the other hand, You have religious people acting the same way towards members of other religions...... My guess is that that kind of behavior is character-due.

Answer 7

it boils down to ego. everyone think they are right. so we get so many rights that confuses humanity. it leads to chaos. religion has brought wars and no peace. so religion has also been abused. the word religion is from latin relegare - to bind to unite. hence if u sense that that particular religion dividies, it has lost its essense and is no longer to be considered a religion

Answer 8

Atheism is a religion, it became a real religion when Hegel and Neitzhe wrote their books. Neitzche gets a bum rap for being the philosophy that Hitler followed, althought Neitzche follows Hegel pretty closely. Hegel's writing is so hard to understand and Neitzche made Hegel understandable. Hegel first made man into God and was the favorite philospher of both Marx, Lenin and Hitler, who all believed that mankind should make their own moral code.

Answer 9

We don't judge. We point out flaws and inconsistencies in religious texts and doctrines, and are labeled as "angry" for doing so.

Answer 10

Atheists are just like any other religion. They all want to be right.

They all think that someone else needs to be wrong before they can be right.

Love and blessings Don.

Answer 11

As I recall, it wasn't the atheist knocking at my door questioning my beliefs.
