Reason for converting Good Christians

[LukeMC]

To Luke:

You are still confused about the basic things being discussed here. It is mainly about the pros and cons of going around and converting Christians to atheism in the normal neighbourhoods/good churches.

To quote your original post:

I will actually prefer if the whole world turns to proper Christians. Will it not make the world a better place?

That is what I'm debating.

I will answer that we all have to admit there is currently no practical way society is going to move back to the stone ages to stone people.

Because we have progressed fromt he violent, suppressive nature of the christian culture, and we've disregarded more and more of the bible whilst doing so. Most christians now are pseudochristians, and this is the type of person you're really talking about.

This wont happen, but if there are more Christians more good may be done in the society.

I don't think religion is the key to morality. I think it would be preferable to teach people how to behave well and cut out all the supernatural bogus. I personally don't believe that a nation of christians would be better than a nation of atheists, because they are judging their morality on a terrible book.

Also, have you considered the ethical implications of this idea? You're talking about a massive propoganda-run regime which is highly supressive and promotes the brainwashing of all its citizens. You're convincing people of talking snakes and magic trees. You're sacrificng the intellect and integrity of every human being alive just because you believe it may lower crime rates. I think you should take another approach, and instead, head towards a more open and skeptical society where people question things and come to intelligent conclusions. Christianity would be an utter theft of human thought.

Atheism is not going to make people more moral. Christianity is not going to make people more moral. Skepticism, rational inquiry and intelligent input will lead people closer to the right direction (and probably to atheism too. But atheism isn't the cause, it is an effect).
