Then they claim you dont believe out of ignorance and laziness, and all of their friends start nodding their heads.

And saying religion and gods are fake is not what I tell them. I say that religious books are fiction with a dose of historical places and events to make the story more convincing, and that Gods and angel and ghosts are merely fictional characters that exist only in our imaginations and the media we invent them upon as far as I am concerned.
Telling them that it is fake will only piss them off, especially if they know something about definitions and philosophy.
P.S. - Could you please quit SCREAMING on the forum?
There is an old adage, even though it doesn’t make any sense, which says: “Use elephant bones to break elephant bones!”
Clearly, some claim that you need religion to disprove religion.
But, I understand that you can debunk religion by using logic rather than the bible.
Good luck there sun
