Why do atheists like having no identity?

Question

Were your failed dreams worth it?

Answer 1

You REALLY haven't got a clue do you?
You have my pity...

Answer 2

During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to how
to classify human beings. One resercher proposed the
expression "intelligent animal". After advanced studies
on monkeys, it was dropped. Another reseacher proposed
"tool using animal". After observing some animals
making wooden tools and sharpening them with knife like
stones, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"weapon using animal". A decade ago, a rare film was
shot in African forests. One short monkey was hit very
badly by a big monkey. The short monkey prepared a
wooden knife using stones and hid it on the top of a
tree. After some days, when the big monkey came to
attack the short monkey, it ran up to the tree for the
weapon it has hid and killed the big monkey. The one
thing that the anthropologists found with any group of
human beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, is
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man is a
"spiritual animal" if you want to call him that way.
"Manush" (human) was so named because he has "Manas" a
mind higher than that of the animals which realises the
divinity in creation. It was present since the creation
of human beings. Religion is the characteristic feature
of most of the human beings. It is as eternal and
and as unchanging as the Almighty. Disbelief by a
few will not affect it. How can the few have identity
compared to the vast?

Answer 3

Out of the many people I've met, Atheists seem to have just as much identity as anyone else. And whats the quip about failed dreams? Did you hear that in an emo song or something and decided you JUST HAD TO use it?

Answer 4

You have strange ideas.

Every person has an identity. Not all people choose to have a group identity based in a religion.

Answer 5

Yes, you figured me out Sifting. I have no identity, and I failed all of my dreams. That is why I am an atheist.

Answer 6

We like having individual identities. Just because we don't herd ourselves in with a large group of people, doesn't mean we have no identities.

In Western culture, atheists are frequently assumed to be irreligious or non-spiritual. However, some religious and spiritual beliefs, such as several forms of Buddhism, have been described by outside observers as conforming to the broader, negative definition of atheism due to their lack of any participating deities.Atheism is also sometimes equated with antitheism (opposition to theism) or antireligion (opposition to religion), despite many atheists not holding such views.

Answer 8

They have secret identities like Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Thor, Captain MArvel, Wonder Woman, and other super beings.

Answer 9

One doesn't necessarily need religion to have a healthy identity. Why would you value anyone less if they don't share your beliefs?

Answer 10

You really ask the weirdest questions!

Let's see... besides being a wife, a mother, a mother, a sister, a daughter, an employee, a friend, an artist, a skeptic, a Bright, a fan of pizza, etc etc etc....

Yeah, its really SUCKS being without an identity!

Are you NOTHING other than a theist? Now THAT must REALLY suck.

Answer 11

I'm a son, brother, uncle, lover, friend, employee, community member, Baritone singer, colleague, musician, composer, teacher, etc. I'm also an atheist, and need no affiliation with a make-believe deity to feel a sense of self. Apparently this is not true of you, for which I am indeed sorrowful.
