I was born in Guatemala, central America. I was born and raised a catholic. I used to be afraid of really doing "sinful" things and the whole religious consequences.
When i started thinking and realizing how contradicting all this "god thing"is, i started actually thinking more objective and doubting all this beliefs. I became an atheist without even knowing what atheism meant.
I came to realize by observing people around me, religious people.
religion is actually a psychological phenomenon rather than a real need for spiritual transformation and salvation of ones soul. Every religious person tends to maneuver religion and how god behaves according to their own agenda. People know exactly how god thinks for some things, but say that god acts strange when theres no explanation.
In society there are certain theories that we can observe and will explain how depending on where u are born, what belief you will have. .
Observational learning (also known as vicarious learning, social learning, or modeling) is a type of learning that happens as a result of observing the behavior of others. Although observational learning can take place at any stage in life, it is thought to be of great importance during childhood, particularly as authority becomes important. The idea that behavior is learned by observing others has influenced debates on the effect of television violence and parental role models. Observational learning appears to occur without the reinforcement of ongoing behavior that is called for in behavioral models of operant or instrumental conditioning. In particular, Bandura noted that "social imitation may hasten or short-cut the acquisition of new behaviors without the necessity of reinforcing successive approximations as suggested by Skinner
A schema (plural schemata or schemas), in psychology and cognitive science, describes an organized pattern of thought or behavior. It can also be described as a mental structure of pre-conceived ideas, a framework representing some aspect of the world, or a system of organizing and perceiving new information. Schemata influence attention and the absorption of new knowledge: people are more likely to notice things that fit into their schema, while re-interpreting contradictions to the schema as exceptions or distorting them to fit. Schemata have a tendency to remain unchanged, even in the face of contradictory information.
As for atheism, i believe that all the god, jesus and all those "religious comics" that people will kill for, is a simple way for weak minds to find confort on their daily happenings.
Atheism is not believing in science presicely. Religious people attack atheists and automatically assume that atheists think certain way and its all about science. I think that as long as you do not believe on fairy tales, theres a universe of knowledge out there to discover.
Maybe not the most organized thoughts, but i think u guys have a general idea of what i mean
