Then why do you click "Religion and Spirituality?"
Some of you atheists claim you got away from Religion, but in reality you didn't. You still hang around religion areas where Christianity is most often discussed.

The computer was invented by an atheist? And? I hope you didn't mean Bill Gates. because he openly admitted he is not an atheist, he has never ruled out the possibility of God. As a matter of fact, Gates was quoted as saying "I think religion can be used in a positive way"

Sparkle responded with this post "They still have an opinion.
This question really bugs me. Atheists have as much right to be here as anyone else. They have an opinion on religion. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean they shouldn't be here.
If I don't have a pet, can I not go in the pet section? Or if I don't have a car, I can't go into the car section?
Here is my response.. If you don't have any pets, what are you doing looking at pet supplies or food? If you don't have a car, why are you going into the auto department? Your response seems to be lacking, umm, shall I say, Common sense?

Because they're open minded, curious and perhaps... a little bit scared?

Being a skeptic does no longer mean 'going against each thing', it skill searching for info that a assertion is real somewhat than only believing it for no good reason. Evolution may well be considered in fossil, geographical distribution, geological and genetic info. in certainty the actual branch of a species has been considered to ensue over modern-day years. It has additionally been used to make predictions that is what makes it valid technological information. the subject is creationists only have faith their tale because of the fact it ties to their faith, no longer for any scientific reason. So for the comparable reason they must even have faith the worldwide if flat and the sunlight is going around it. Atheists do no longer hate god. Do you hate the Flying Spaghetti Monster? No, because you do no longer think of it exists. the comparable is going for Atheists. Creationists are only fearful of evolution because of the fact it provides yet yet one extra reason their faith is obviously incorrect and the bible is completel misguided.

Probably because one can't get away from a belief system that is important to the majority of the worlds population.
Not to mention all the problems that religion causes which those of us who aren't religious just can't get away from.
The computer wasn't really invented by just one person though atheists probably were overrepresented amongst the founders of the computer age as compared to the general population, Bill Gates didn't invent it (he just copied or bought other peoples' code and sold it as his own) and he has been known to fund some rather idiotic religious organisations.

I don't go in to that section. However if a question is passing on the main Q&A board in which a Relgio gets all superior over us atheists... then I'll check out what clap-trap they are spewing.

well I'm not an atheist anymore, I'm a satanist, but i still come on here just to have a good laugh at all the stupid Christan's, and maybe to save a few of them from their own ignorance.

When did believing in a religion become a requirement for frequenting the section? I didn't see that in the community guidelines.

That's so funny. Atheists are here because we enjoy a good debate as much as the Christians.

Because so MANY of the questions have "ATHEIST" in the them. Why ask questions you don't want answers to? The questions appear on the main page - no one needs to click R&S to get to them.
