I was born one, and have never been convinced by anyone to believe in a deity
2.How are you became atheist ?
As above; I was born one and never indoctrinated
3.Where are you from ?
England, UK
4.How old are you ?
Mid 20s
5.Do you believe in the afterlife (some atheist than I know believe to the afterlife) ? If no , can you explain why ?
No -Lack of evidence. BURDEN OF PROOF is on the claimant, hence it is up to those asserting an afterlife exists to prove it does
6.Did you read all the Bible ? If you read all the bible what biblical canon (catholic , orthodox , protestant etc...) ?
I've read some of the bible but not all of it. I have one at home.
7.Did you read all the Quran ? (Yes I know that for Muslims if you read a translation you don't read the Koran).
no
8.Did you read an other religious text ? If yes what is it or what are they ?
I've read some of the Guru Granth Sahib, and had it read to me in English, as I study Sikh's in the UK for my PhD research.
9.What are yours hobbies ?
I have lots of hobbies
10.Can you define the goal of the life ?
You have to define 'goal' so we understand what your angle is. Is there a 'goal' to life, on a personal level? Perhaps, but that's contextual and subjective to the individual. Is there a 'goal' on a larger, universal scale? No, life is just one step in the evolution of the universe.
11.Sometimes do you think ? I will go in Hell if god does exist.
No, I don't think on heaven or hell because the concepts of them are silly to me.
12.Sometimes do you think that God does exist maybe ?
I don't rule it out, but I do rule out every god ever invented by man because they are contradictory and unevidenced. Is there another form of being out there? Could be, but until there's evidence to suggest that there is I don't see any reason to worry or care about it.
13.What do you think about people who believe in monotheistic religions ?
Nothing. Someone's religion plays no part in my opinion of them unless they start trying to convert me..
14.What do you think about people who believe in polytheistic religions ?
As above. I don't care, each unto their own.
15.What do you think about people who believe in a religion where there are not god(s) ?
Define an example and I'll tell you.
16.Do you have an interest about philosophy to have answers about the life ? Can you explain why ?
Everyone is hardwired to question existance. Do I have an interest in philosophy? Sure, but not to the extent where I begin to fundamentally alter reality to suit my philosophical/spritual needs and requirements.
17.Do you fear to dead ? (I speak in a metaphysical context and about your friends , family etc...).
Do I fear being dead? Sort of. I don't want to die, but I know I will and that I'll most likely stop existing. There's a beauty to that ultimate end, though, and we have an entire life to lead before that moment comes (if we're lucky). .
18.Do you like your life ? If you like your life , why do you like your life. If you don't like your life I would like to know the reason.
Yes. I like it because I'm content, and whilst shit happens to me, shit happens to everyone, but in the grand scheme of things, the shit that happens to me is a lot less than the shit that happens to others thanks to where I was born and the lifestyle I have earned.
19.Do you dream to live in a world where there are not place for the religions ? If yes or no explain please.
I would like to live in a world where people do not attempt to convert others through force. Each unto their own, but religion often stacks the deck in its favours through, for example, tax exemptions and unique relationships with the state. I would see that destroyed because it is unfair and outdated in the 21st century. No religion should have special rights above that of anyone else.
20.Do you think that politic is like religion ? Explain why this is not equal or not.
That's a question which I don't have time to answer now, but it's a very complicated and good question IMHO.
