Nope Atheism was never forced in those countries

When the Germans attacked the USSR in 1941 Stalin ordered the churches reopened and the religious icons returned to them. Church attendance returned to Tsarist levels quickly. Much the same thing happened after the Soviets collapsed.

No, the big reason atheism, whether non-theism or just different theism, was derided as atheism was because it was competition, and religions hate competition, as they are playing a zero sum game. For one person, you miraculously manage to spew an incredible amount of nonsense and bullshit. It's probably best that you have me on ignore. You wouldn't want to learn something that might displace your lovingly curated ignorance. That would be bad.

Which one?

Neither Max nor Agnostico are here to engage in actual discussion and debate. Agnostico particularly is here solely to preach his own idiosyncratic views of things generally, and atheism in particular. He doesn't talk to you, more he talks about you. He basically ignores me, which Max does also.

Tell me T0 Th3 M4X, what is this atheist movement all about? Why is it so vocal, in your face, angry, intollerant, hateful.
Thats ultimatelly what I came here to understand. Why the hate, the preaching, the forums, the church, the definitions and the rest of it?
Educate me please T0 Th3 M4X

You don't have to accept anything.  Not my "opinion" or anything else.  But why not do it peacefully in society?  Instead you're forming one big hate group that goes around bothering people raging and telling them they are wrong.   Arrogant is running around screaming that you don't believe something and telling everybody else they're wrong because they choose to.  What's the point?  What value is there to society when a bunch of nutjobs are doing such things?  I don't have disdain for atheists because I want to, but because you try to talk to just about any of them, and they act like a horse's a$$.   I'll acknowledge that there are some who are kind, caring, contribute, and are open to intelligent conversation, but most are just plain annoying.

Who is bothering who here? Did this forum come to you or did you come to this forum?

Oh I came here.  As I said, I used to belong to a community like this some years ago.  It was friendly and you could freely have conversations with atheists, theists, or whoever about science.  People would share their view and provide citations for their conclusions.  So as such, I was hoping to find something similar.  Instead it seems like a massive ragefest and people pandering.  I didn't come here with any ill will, but as I read what people are saying, it's causing disdain.  I don't like feeling this way about people, but why lie about it?

Never said I didn't come here.  Wake up kid.  Didn't know it was supposed to be by invitation only, and if it isn't, then why do you care?
