We need an atheist state!

I don't think an "atheist government" is a good idea, if it means people have to profess disbelief in God in order to be allowed to be in politics. For one thing, there is no test anyway, all you can do is take people at their word.

A secular government is the way to go in my opinion, one that is very clear that secular law trumps religious law (which is not involved in politics at all) and no religion gets any special treatment over any other, or over non-religion. That is what America is trying to have, but it still has some ways to go in practice. Stopping religions having tax cuts for one thing, and making them open their books like any other business.

You can't tell people not to believe stuff, all you could do is forcibly stop organised religion. I don't personally think that's a good idea, while the people involved aren't hurting anyone.

I do have strong views about child indoctrination, but that's a very difficult subject to tackle in practical terms.

Works well in North Korea why not the rest of the world? If North Korea by being an atheist state can lead the world in science, compassion and understanding then if the whole world become atheist like North Korea we would have an amazing planet to share. Imagine no religion; it's easy if you try Wink

Go home and spend time with your family before they get old and hate you.

So, obvious troll. I wouldn't even grace that with the term Poe, since Poe takes some effort as opposed to trolling.

Ah, the troll.

The saddest creature on the internet. Stuck with mommy two doors down the hall, angry at all the girls that don't pay attention to him, trying to grab at control by inducing anger on the internet.

I'd pity you if I wasn't too busy controlling my laughter.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

My atheist brothers and sister China and North Korea is lving proof of how amazing the world is with atheists in charge and there is no political camps, massive execution rate, state censorships, mass repression, famine etc etc as well all good atheists know that an atheist state could not be such a thing only a bastion of science, love , reason bull, logic, rationalism and understanding.

All us atheists should have a right of return to our atheist father land in North Korea.  Heart
