For one reason or another, what most people fail to acknowledge is, that religions are a BUSINESS, and just like any other profit motivated business, they are out to SELL a product. In the case of Christianity, the 'product' is Jehovah and his life governing book of laws (the Bible)
Should Atheists Speak Out? - Comments From Our Community
What's the point speaking against religion? Should atheists keep their opinions to themselves? See what others think or share your own views.
I don't think its unfair to call religion fiction because religious followers waste no time throwing their beliefs in my face when I didn't ask for it, so why should I offer them the courtesy of sitting quiet about my own atheist beliefs when they don't sit quiet about their fictitious one?
Should we put the burden of blame for atrocities on a religious system, or upon it's adherents? Religious systems wish to spread peace, love, brotherhood, etc... What starts out as a mostly peaceful community eventually has members who split away for one reason or another.
As an outspoken atheist in high school, I personally feel that we atheists should be entitled to speak of our views as we please. I do it all the time, and so far I have felt safe in doing so (even when others lash out at me).
Dear friends at Atheist Republic,
