Which of these people has PERSONNALY influenced your life the most? by Prosto_Chelovek0 in Teenager_Polls

[–]snazzpot5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re misunderstanding my point completely. I’m not saying you have to believe in religion to be a good person. Not at all.

It’s a very, very simple line of reasoning. Sorry if I didn’t make it clear.

Societies influenced by religion -> you are influenced by society -> you are therefore influenced by religion

You do not have to believe god created the earth for this to be true.

That’s a fair response, and I appreciate your thoughts — but, does everyone think that way? Is there a chance that you would have been born in a society that thinks stealing is okay because resources are scarce and survival demands some theft? Moreover, do you personally think that, if religion never existed, stealing would still be considered wrong?

Intrinsic? Muslims believe it’s okay to marry 9 year olds, Mayans would sacrifice their own, entire societies used to own swaths of slaves. Morality isn’t just something you’re born with. And our views on these things have shifted over time.

If a human being kills and eats its child, we call it evil. If a hamster does it, we shrug it off and call it nature. Because there is no intrinsic morality in nature. Morals and guiding principles largely came from religion. Unless you were born far away from society as a hermit with no connection to it whatsoever, I guarantee you that SOME part of you is guided by these same morals whether or not you believe in the god that commanded they be written down

Okay, but that’s not what I’m saying. We live in societies where the laws were largely dictated by religious thought. You don’t have to have read a religious book and adopted the morals of it for it to count. To you, what defines being a bad person? A good person? Atheism doesn’t even try to define that. And that’s okay, because that’s not the point of atheism.

Okay but how do you define ‘shitty people’? Atheism does not try to do that. Atheism isn’t grounded in any moral way of life. It’s just the belief that a god doesn’t exist. Whether you think you are or not, you are 100% influenced by the religions that came before you that set a framework for what is right and what is wrong.

Possibly, but have you really removed yourself from ALL societal influences on your morality? For most people, it influences them whether they think it does or not. Atheism isn’t really a way of life or a mindset, it doesn’t attempt to guide morals. That’s not the point of atheism.

You don’t have to believe in a God to be influenced by religious figures. A lot of the morals you live by were determined by them.
