Nope. Not believing in religion is not the same thing as not believing in anything. Far from it.
claiming that ‘nothing matters’ and believing in subjective morality
Another ridiculous strawman 🙄
which has led to atrocities
Nope. If any beliefs have led to atrocities, it’s religious ones. In fact, religion is probably the number two cause of murder after greed.
So suddenly Christianity represents the actions of all Christians
No, I specifically said the church, not all Christians. Unlike you, I’m not a bigot who thinks all members of a group are the same.
Athiesm doesn’t represent the actions of all Athiests?
Correct.
I could easily point to large Athiest countries like Maoist China and Soviet Russia who murdered millions
You could, but you’d be stupid to do so. Those millions died because of politics, not a lack of religion.
Don’t try and claim Hitler was a Christian; he most certainly was not
He was and then he wasn’t. He was never an atheist, though:
During the beginning of his political life, Hitler publicly expressed favorable opinions towards Christianity, but later totally rejected it. Most historians describe his later posture as adversarial to organized Christianity and established Christian denominations. He also criticized atheism.
who tried to dehumanise humans into being less than animals.
Which the worst Christian bigots do to this day. It’s debatable whether or not Donald Trump is a Christian himself, but he’s referred to groups of people he doesn’t like as vermin and his Christian bigot followers cheered.
Not every single local chapel or whatever, but all of the denominations. Catholic, Orthodox, Southern Baptist, First Baptist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist etc. You name one and there’s been clergy raping children. Including whichever sect you belong to.
how come I am a bigot all of a sudden? Is it because I am Christian?
No, it’s because of your bigoted statements, such as your automatic assumption that all atheists are nihilists and that atheism leads to evil.
Trump has said abhorrent things. He is an abhorrent person. But he hasn’t followed the teachings of Jesus, such as the rich man and lazarus.
The vast majority of the people who worship him call themselves Christians, though. Are they all lying?
The church I regularly attend has no known cases of child abuse.
I specifically said sect and denomination, not church as in the building. Don’t try to play even more dumb than you are. Name your denomination and I’ll be able to find at least one child abuse scandal.
An environment where they’ll be an unquestioned authority figure with the power of heaven and hell as far as the children know and lots of time alone with said miniature slaves is the perfect opportunity for a child molester. Especially in the completely inhumane sects where they expect them to be celibate for life as soon as they enter the priesthood.
Athiesm is inherently evil by the Christian definition because it leads people away from God.
Fun fact: the vast majority of atheists started out religious and then decided for themselves to leave your cult. Some people not sharing your delusions isn’t some grand conspiracy to corrupt you and other “righteous” zealots.
I’m not going to doxx myself by telling you the name of that church, but it’s low-church. Meaning that it has nothing to do with other churches in the denomination (unlike high Church like Roman Catholic or the Church of England where it’s one big institution)
Ah, so you’re in a Christianity-derived cult. The unhinged zealotry makes more sense now.
Athiesm is a new concept
No, atheism is the default condition of human beings before anyone indoctrinates them.
since most of the world is religious, people emerge with athiesm
Other way around. Literally every single human on earth is born an atheist and then 99.99% of the people who become religious do so because others told them they had to.
And a lot of athiests grow up in a lukewarm religious environment anyway.
Maybe because it’s easier to escape a cult that’s less intense about the threats of eternal hellfire and shunning from society? Just a thought.
