Where are the questions on R&S that are not the "Why do theists do this or that?" or "Why are they (_____) me?"
Where are the questions from atheists asking "why of themselves?"or "Why do some atheists do this or that?"
So is it always why of Christians, Jews, Muslim, and Pagans?

Edit:
I ask why of theists, I ask why of atheists. Yet I am asking does an atheists ask why of themselves.

Edit:
You mean other questions as in "Fellow atheists, what do you think of the FSM"? That is not what I mean.

It is not my intent to bring anyone to my POV. I am merely asking a question.

"An atheist does not believe in a god, not just the christian one - but any god. So that means they can and do, believe and follow many religions sects, cults and spiritual ways as well as simply not following any religion as long as it does not have a god."
And you call me ignorant. Thanks for the laugh.

Thumbs up, and thanks for seeing my point. Now I must ask you this, once stopped your belief in faith, because of certain questions; do you know longer ask these questions once again. Do you put them to your current atheist's POV.
An example would be before you would ask "Why would a christian commit a crime if he believes in the bible?"
So now do you also ask "Why would an atheist commit a crime?".

Of course I do. It is asking questions of why I believe as I do, that lead me to change those beliefs away from faith. I still think on these matters, as you might expect.

you're in a sprint a sticky concern there. I too am a rational logician yet experience that organised faith gives you solid morals and the such like. i'm a musician and with the aid of my college years took an energetic place interior the community parish, not because of the fact of an apprehension of God yet because of the fact the community replaced into very solid and that i enjoyed being an element of it. the only way I see of not putting evaluations into your babies's minds is to easily not take them to Sunday college once you're there. they are going to be somewhat swayed by potential of what you assert so while you're coaching the instructions as a Christian then they'll %. up what you assert and take it as (in case you pardon the pun) gospel. in the event that they arrive to a decision they desire to pass to church then honest sufficient, they have made their decision. yet enable them to take heed to it from somebody not so influential so they'd extra somewhat type their very own evaluations.

I am always asking why. My journey is not over.
Peace to you.

Yeah. I ask "Why?" of everything, which is how I wound up questioning religion.
Why am I an atheist? Well, I was raised Christian, and I'm gay. Full disclosure! So maybe I became an atheist because I'm just trying to dodge the fact that God hates me for my sex life. OR, maybe the fact that I'm gay helped me to realize the unbelievable hypocrisy and ignorance of the Church on issues of sexuality. I've obviously reached my own conclusions about it; other people can believe what they will. But I agree that the unexamined life is not worth living.

Maybe because they already know why an atheist does this or that because they ARE atheists.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must miss the questions that religious people ask of atheists as to what our motivations are. Why should we ask questions of ourselves that are already asked by others? That would be redundant.

"Why do I answer questions from Christians?"
I keep hoping they'll prove the existence of God. In the past 18 months, not one shred of evidence has been produced.

It's called self reflection. I don't think those questions are asked on Y!A.
But, I have asked questions to the other atheists as well.

I've asked many questions of my fellow atheists. Sorry you didn't notice.
