What is your general attitude towards those who believe in religion whether they are jewish, Muslim, Christian etc etc.

Do you get on well with any religious friends and neighbours?

Have you ever thought of believing in a religion at some point?

If you do not like the faiths, why?

If you DO, also why? Does this come from your family? Maybe something went bad during your life?

I get that Lemmy might have the same stereotype in Reddit that there are loads of atheists, but there’s a good reason why despite criticism of religion, it is still here.

P.S. I am not religious or anti religious in any fashion, I am agnostic.

    Yeah that religion is called science. To suggest that gaps exist on evolution so we need to go examine religion is an a joke of an argument. The difference in successful capturing of the reality of the process of life by the theory of evolution to any religion is galactic in scale. Your justification is ridiculous and only exists because you cannot let go of the lies someone taught you as a child in order to control you.

      The joke is that you think you follow science and then outright discount things when they are not what you want.

          So with what certainty do you think there is no God?

              So this points out how you dont care about science because you are completely close minded. What you will find is that with your group this is common, they will not even begin to admit the possibility of a deity.

                I gave you my assessment of my the possibility, more over the subject has been significantly more explored than the evidence for it. Doing good science is not endlessly chasing any possible outcome, it is rigorously evaluating those you can investigate.

                That said,

                There is no god and your a fool, feel fucking bad for you. I’m really sorry people manipulated you as a child to the point your trapped by the idea. Haunted even.
