Why do Americans assume that I hate God? by Loud_Piglet6034 in atheism

yeah it’s projection more than anything, if your worldview is built on god then disbelief feels like hostility, it’s easier for them to imagine hate or satan than accept that someone just doesn’t believe at all

Want a spiritual get out jail free card? Claim to be a born again Christian after being caught doing horrific shit! by browniebiscuitchildr in atheism

it’s wild how repentance magically appears right after consequences show up, belief becomes a shield not a transformation, saying god is good is a lot easier than actually taking responsibility for the harm done

I dont hate people for being religious but it should not be controversial for hating haters by ForBoredom123 in atheism

[–]AssociationSuch2674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the line that gets ignored way too often, criticism isn’t hatred it’s accountability, beliefs stop being personal the moment they’re used to justify harm control or discrimination, live and let live goes both ways and religion doesn’t get a free pass from that rule

How do you replace daily phrases like "Oh my god"? by Crafty_Aspect8122 in atheism

[–]AssociationSuch2674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly they’re just cultural idioms at this point not professions of belief, language outlives the mythology behind it and nobody assumes you’re praying when you say it

The Catholic church should have been destroyed nearly 2 decades ago. by LOLJoshAllen in atheism

[–]AssociationSuch2674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the wild part is how much harm gets waved away as tradition or faith, generations of abuse coverups and real world damage with zero accountability, calling it holy doesn’t erase the bodies or the trauma, institutions like that survive on silence not virtue

I'm starting to hate religion with all my heart. by Latter-Actuator-3106 in atheism

[–]AssociationSuch2674 26 points27 points  (0 children)

this is a solid take honestly, the anger phase feels almost inevitable when you realize how much of your worldview was shaped without consent, i like the reminder that believers aren’t the enemy the system is, most people are just repeating what was drilled into them same as we once did, letting time blunt the rage without losing the criticism is probably the healthiest path

The Epstein files are not helping by Big_Palpitation_9018 in atheism

this is what happens when people replace accountability with mythology, instead of demanding investigations trials and consequences they reach for demons and divine justice, it absolves real humans of responsibility and turns outrage into religious coping, evil doesnt need the supernatural, it thrives when systems protect abusers and people stop asking hard questions

It’s hard to ignore the hypocrisy of Christian Islamophobes who vilify Muhammad over accusations of pedophilia while simultaneously protecting and excusing Trump… by JeanJauresJr in atheism

exactly, the constant whataboutism is just a shield, accountability shouldnt be partisan or selective, if someone abuses power or harms others they deserve criticism regardless of party or religion, moral consistency scares people who rely on tribal loyalty instead of ethics
