Quote:Americans are abandoning religion in droves, continuing a trend that has persisted over decades. Between 2007 and 2014, the number of Americans who didn’t identify with any religion jumped from 36.6 million to 55.8 million, according to Pew Research Center.
New data from a Pew survey of 1,300 non-religious people published Wednesday provides deeper insight into what is driving this phenomenon, as told by the non-religious themselves.

Internet allows brilliant skeptics to educate people on common sense, but if poverty spreads, then religion will follow it. Why it's a problem even if almost everyone decides to become religious? It's not like I will try to preach to them.

Because for one thing, if religion follows poverty, then increased religion indicates increased poverty.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

yeah, the end of times is at hand.
I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens.

Newer generations are realizing more and more that they don't want to waste their Sunday morning - they would rather be doing other things, they don't want to judge gay people, they are human rights people, they want to be good stewards of the planet, they are not fundamentalists like their parents and grandparents, they're simply non religious in their lives.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I like your optimism but it's not like we millennials don't have our fair share of fascist and reactionary dumbshits
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

It's increasingly difficult for institutions such as the Catholic church to offer a moral gift supposedly directly transmitted from the Lord God Almighty while simultaneously tolerating/encouraging their priesthood to ejaculate into children's butt holes.
People are catching on, finally, that, for instance, the Catholic church has been grotesquely corrupted, ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN DOCUMENTS, for at least 1500 years and those people are realizing they are sick of the abuse and malfeasance that NEVER ENDS.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

See, you’re just reinforcing my belief that I need to wipe humans out (apart from a select few, of course).
