I'm definitely not an atheist tho.
I find/believe:
- theistic religions and their people are gullible and dangerously irrational (Christians, Jews, Muslims, ...);
- religions openly more philosophical are objectively great (Taoism, Buddhism, ...)
- atheism is mostly being willingly ignorant and closed-minded and feeling superior for it
- scepticism and accepting to not know things is the actually reasonable answer
Simple illustration: the origin of the universe.
The irrationally religious will directly talk about their God.
The irrationally atheist will talk about the Big Bang until you ask "what about before that" and they'll either explode or murder you.
The sceptic or agnostic will accept there was the Big Bang, and that there's possibly something before or more meta that we don't know about (yet).
sceptic or agnostic: I prefer sceptic, as it leaves a place for the (yet). But whatever, both are okay.
@CobaltVelvet The apathetic agnostic will say "iunno" and then go back to watching cat videos on YouTube
@CobaltVelvet @nonphatic Welp that's the one. The physics as we know it does not require nor forbid the existence of Something Else. And tbh, I really don't care, for if this Something Else exists it does not seem to care about us little humans.
@nonphatic that's a lifestyle i can get behind tho
