Hello. Am I the only german here?

[Something completely different]

Hello, i have registered to this forum after simply googleing "atheism" and klicking the first thing that turned up. I have been a atheist for a very long time of my life, pritty much having a catholic mum and anglican father made me dought at an early stage why there should be so many versions of the same thing - and in conclusion why such a thing as god/s should exist after all.
being atheist or agnostic in germany is a very common thing, we are not brandmarked or discriminated and are actualy a rather large comunity, being atheist or agnostic will not stand in the way of any job or other social possition, in fact the current austrian president is a agnostic.
on the other hand i find it very hard to debate religion or atheism with fellow german atheists or agnostics, since there is hardly any religious fundermentalism here and we are generaly accepted as a member of sociaty no one realy seems to debate the subjects.
it would be nice to meet fellow members of the german community here, aswell as i would be delighted to debate with americans or british people.

Hi. I'm from the bible belt in America. I wish I had your problem! Everywhere I turn there is religious bullshit being jammed down my esophagus. I'm planning my escape.

Welcome.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. I live just north of the bible belt. I don't see a whole lot of conspicuous displays of religiousity where I live, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

hi, one could call catholic austria, baden würtenberg and bavaria ther bible belt of the german world. it seems to be pritty common in europe that the more catholic a nation gets the dumber the sociaty is. but it is absolutly not comparable with the nonsence i sometimes here from places like texas, alabama or mississipi.

"Hello, and welcome to the forum. I live just north of the bible belt. I don't see a whole lot of conspicuous displays of religiousity where I live, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough"

hi, or maybe just like in my case religiousity or nonreligiousity isn`t seen as a importent factor

Oh yeah. The idiocy in the southeastern United States is unparalleled. The bonus: Most of the time, I feel like a fucking genius.

That's because you don't know him.

His solution to every problem is to drop bombs on it....unless they can shoot back.
