What is your general attitude towards those who believe in religion whether they are jewish, Muslim, Christian etc etc.

Do you get on well with any religious friends and neighbours?

Have you ever thought of believing in a religion at some point?

If you do not like the faiths, why?

If you DO, also why? Does this come from your family? Maybe something went bad during your life?

I get that Lemmy might have the same stereotype in Reddit that there are loads of atheists, but there’s a good reason why despite criticism of religion, it is still here.

P.S. I am not religious or anti religious in any fashion, I am agnostic.

    As someone who is mostly agnostic, those who belive that absence of evidence equals evidence of absence belong in psychotherapy.

    There is zero evidence either way, the best we can say is that we don’t know.

      Yeah man something about Russell’s tea pot

      We have no evidence for gods, that’s it. There’s no need to provide evidence for absence of god, the burden of proof belongs to the person who makes the claim (that there’s a god/gods).

        The problem with this theory is that we dont have a complete explanation for existence without the existence of a higher power.
