Saying that atheism will be the salvation of mankind is really as vain as you claim other religions to be.
Quote:the benefits of a more athiest 'merica are many.Well, I can't think of how atheism will make you economically stronger, or how your army will become mightier through a more atheist, or say, more theist America.
Even if you implement a communist Albania type of state atheism, what good would it bring to you? What good did it brought to them?
well i def. would not say athiesm is a religion, first of all. and salvation is an interesting word choice not one i would use to describe what i am refering to. and to be clear i said "a more athiest america" not a totally athiest communist america. which its funny that you connect those dots so quickly. the two are/can be mutually exculsive.
are you american btw? not meant as an insult or anything, just wondering b/c you immedately went that route as if youve experienced communism first hand or something.( ledit-looking at your sig and name and whatnot i guess its pretty obvious you arent)
a more athiest america would most definitely make america better. our foriegn policy would make sense, our education system would shift gears to help make americans competetive instead of impeading science. shit just the advancement and empowerment of women in its self would elevate this nation back up to the top. that being said america being on top is not really my point. i am more concerned with the advancement of the human race. that includes tolerance, morality for the right reasons( i.e. not out of fear), scientific advancements, the list is long and religion gets in the way of pretty much all of them.
