What can we do to promote Atheism? How can we unite?

.it's a shame for atheists that the most vocal among them are also some of the most retarded and lazy people you will ever come across.

That really has nothing to do with belief or lack thereof. Most loudmouthed Christians I know are the same way.

Which is why, when I think of vocal atheists, I automatically equate them with American Evangelicals. I really see no difference between the two.

Forgive me if this has already been said, but some of this wasn't addressed by page 6 so I skipped ahead.

Hello guys,

I have been thinking, What can we do to promote Atheism? How can we unite?

You can look for American Atheists, the AHA, etc. If you're American. Many countries have their own groups.

We athiests, are quiet and spread all over the world. We do not have local gatherings, or a strong set of community to help us out during persecution by religious folks or so. Nor do we have a way to keep everyone informed about the latest stuffs etc.

Speak for yourself - I belong to a rather large group just for the Charlotte, NC area and we have gatherings and a strong sense of community. We're not alone either. Most large cities have their own group, and many small ones do as well. I even wrote a rather large post encouraging people to join or form their own.



I'm not bagging on the idea - I just don't want you getting into it with a false perception of reality. We don't really have to spread atheism - but getting people to come out and standing together against prejudice IS a good idea.

Thank you for your suggestion. I am not really sure if there are any athiest groups here in Nepal. But I would love to join if here is one. As it seems like there is none or is not really known that much, I am going to start a secular group to bring about awareness and change in our society.
I have discussed about it more on my other thread here at : http://atheistforums.org/thread-22063.html

At this point if atheists really wanted to promote a movement away from religion, it would serve their point to just stop talking and let the religious make all the fumbles. Most believers I know are much more intelligent than those who boast that they live by logic and reason...it's a shame for atheists that the most vocal among them are also some of the most retarded and lazy people you will ever come across.

You make a good point. That is why I think we shouldn't be like them. We could be a great example for everyone.

I saw your other thread - I just want you to know that we're not so quiet, though we might be more spread out. Nepal is probably a different situation, but throughout the world it is variable country by country, and other people can help you set up a positive-leaning group.
