Why do never-theists come to atheist forums?
|
I really don't get it - What do you want to know? Different people have different reasons, I came just for curiosity and because I have few atheists in real life. AF in particular is also useful for discussing many other topics other than atheism and religion, so that's a huge bonus, and people around here are nice, charming and condescending.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
It's also a good way to keep up with atheist/religious based news, thanks to the tireless efforts of Min and others
 Shame today's news was so shocking  It's made me sick to my core.

Thanks, those seem like good reasons. I think I ask, because I find myself thinking about religion a lot lately. Sometimes I think how nice it would be to have never been exposed to religion and never think about it at all. So I wonder why such people would want to discuss it. People have brought up some good reasons that I never thought about: - mobilizing and encouraging atheists to challenge stupid theistic political meddling - expressing the frustrations of a minority atheist in a majority theist community - reexamining your atheist position - atheists tend to be more open to new ideas - having fun - ...

I wish I could forget about religion, but until it stops being a problem, I feel I should try and play my part. The more visible atheists there are, even online, the easier it is for the next one to jump ship.
And I might as well rip the piss out of it for fun while it's being such a blight. If religion had any truth, it wouldn't be so god damn easy. Seeing people try and defend it is like watching someone trying to convince me that 1 = 3. Oh wait... Feel free to send me a private message.

Well atheism wouldn't exist without religion.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
