My Thoughts On Militant Atheism

[AtheistBuddha]

Militant Atheism does far more harm than good and for any who call themselves atheists out there who believe that religion causes major problems in the world you are severely deluded to the political aspect of your world.

Militant Atheists seek to insult and belittle religious people who find their religion above all else to be logical, if they did not find their belief to be logical they would not believe in it. This form of logic is not dependent on evidence but rather it is a matter of faith. Further more you will never be able to argue against someone and win that argument, you will never be able to prove something for someone but they must prove it for themselves. In essence every atheist who is trying to disprove religion is wasting their time when they should be focusing more on the political agenda of their dominions... at least if they truly wanted to stop mass suffering on a global scale. All it achieves to do is create friction in a society where we should be living as a family, together, and inseparable. Instead we divide ourselves, by ethnicity, by political ideologies, by wealth, and by spiritual beliefs. It is from this division that we are so easily taken advantage of, and people like Richard Dawkins only seek to make the rift between us and our family deeper even if they themselves do not realize it. People in time will prove themselves wrong, making this whole militant atheism campaign a waste of time and if not a distraction and a scapegoat for governments to use to avert the eyes of the public from their political dealings.

I am not sure if this message will reach any of you, atheists in my experience are no better than theists when it comes to rationality. All they managed to do was fit two pieces of a puzzle together in a puzzle that has over a million pieces. There is so much to learn in this life we can ill afford to waste time in it.

So please reconsider your stance on religion.

I agree that it is often pointless to try and convince the faithful that their beliefs are in the imaginary though, in my humble opinion, this is not all that militant or strident atheism does. To me, it seeks to focus on and stand up to political injustices perpetrated in the name of religious or even quasi-religious (North Korea's 'Dear Leader') beliefs. The seek to stand up for the secular ideal and I think that is important and it is the job of the secular mind to stand up and do his/her part to help stop the religious compulsion to drag us back into the Dark Ages. This video, in my humble opinion, does a good job of summing up the mission of militant atheism and so I will leave it here in the hopes that the late great Hitch can say it more eloquently than I.
