What about Atheist country?

[cratehorus]

I know that there are some country's/states/republics that are considered an Atheist states, but those are not a wiling atheist states yet atheism has bean forced on them by a hand full of people for many different reasons.

In case of North Korea atheism has bean "implemented" not because atheism it self but because that country is ruled by a fist full of people and allowing a religion where there is a God would mean that they them self would have to bow to the higher authority, and the priests would represent a moral authority where their words would carry a weight and my be in conflict with the messages from the supreme leader.

this is a horrible oversimplification I invite you to research history the soviet union, moaist china, cuba, north korea, as well as the history of atheism in southeast asia...... anti-theism is a huge part of communism, so any communist state that's ever existed in world history, was by default an atheist state

[quote]Let me rephrase the question:

What about an atheist state, lets say that thousand Atheists come together and they decide to start/found a country/state
country it self would be something like "Island state of Nauru" somewhere remote where you would be able to set up and evolve your society without any interference where you would be able to shape its constitution, laws and policy's.

sounds nice but the first question is how would you prevent the over zealous religous folks from arriving in this "Island state of Nauru"...... and let's say start adopting your country's orpans and brainwashing them into being little psycho theists like them??

Would bunch of willing Atheist be able to build a better country and society, and in your opinion would that kind of country have a future?

(keep in mind that there were no willingly founded atheist country's, only those where atheism has bean forced on the population for the same or similar reason that i tried to explained in case of North Korea)

you would have to ban freedom of religion and kill alll the preists (or witchdoctors or whatever) that were already living there.................. and yes there have been many "willingly" founded atheist country's.............If you were to found an atheist country, every theist country, would quickly label you a personality cult, and call whoever, or whatever group's name, that founded the country "the cult leaders"

most likely they would name it after YOU so it would be the Land, or Country, of "Rozbifists" or if you prefer "Rozbifistan"............. and 30 years later some college kid will write a post about how rozbifistan wasn't a "willing atheist state" and atheism was "forced on them by a hand full of people"

and "In the case of Rozbifistan atheism was implemented not because atheism it self but because that country is ruled "

"so let's start another one everybody!"......it's been tried and it's failed you won't succeeed by simply repeating the mistakes of history
