As an atheist I never got the point of evangelizing atheism. Isn’t that half the problem with religions?
WiDGxT@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Not evangelizing. It’s more about personal connections and being comrades. Community.

we live in a society that denigrates atheism because it’s a threat to their dogma driven belief systems.
advocating for logic over proselytism isn’t evangelizing, grow up. you sound like Kirk Cameron lol
blarghly@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Idk, I haven’t been denigrated in a hot second.

When a person believes in a religion, they have trained their brains to ignore part of reality. Once you’ve trained your brain to do that, manipulative people can more easily abuse your brain into thinking other incorrect things.
And that’s how you get MAGA
So the purpose is less about evangelizing atheism, and more about fixing other people’s brains for the betterment of society.

I mean, scientific materialism also denies a large part of reality. Or at least I knew that really, really well the last time I did mushrooms

Every religion thinks they’re “fixing” people by evangelizing

I do find it a bit distasteful sometimes but I’d disagree with you here. It’s a support group and the only way to wake up society to absurd flaws of religion is through community conciousness.
roofuskit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In my experience most of these online groups are just memes and stories about being superior to religious people. I had to bail on them because it was gross.

True. I never got the point of it.
But I’m atheist/agnostic in a place where nearly everyone else is. I guess it feels a bit different when you live somewhere where literally everyone else is religious.

And honestly, most of Lemmy is already pretty close, haha.

It’s VERY new since it has no posts at all.

Ideally an empty atheist group is the platonic ideal. Nothing about nothing. No arguments. No exclusion. No evangelicals. No conversion attempts.

One day, hopefully! One fateful day with a secular majority. I have a dream. ✊
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, enjoy it now before the atheists destroy it with their atheism.
edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Damn atheists! They ruined atheism!

It’s best to include the native format: !atheist@lemmy.zip
