I became an atheist after reading Mahatma Phule's Gulaamgiri in early 2019. Kanhaiya Kumar had spoken about it in his speech in Maharashtra... Before that I had read Bhagat Singh's Why I am an atheist... But it was from a Marxist lens. It's a nice essay for an argument. Its rational too. But an ideology has to break some cultural myth also... Phule's Gulaamgiri was a real challenge to the myths and superiority of Hinduism.

God has to be seen for to believe is not the right question. The question should be why we are here and what our purpose. why are there so many fine tuning, how everything grows by following the laws of entropy and many mores. people need to ask right philosophical question. The problem with athiesm is that it can have a profound negative impact on people just like false education from religion can have a profound negative impact such as caste system based on work has a profound negative impact on people.

Adding more from a woman atheist point of view: I've met many practical, rational women who still end up doing rituals. I used to be one of them. For me, the reason was that I was a people pleaser. Society and movies conditioned me to behave in a certain way, and every other woman around me did the same. I didn't know any other way. It took me years to see and accept that religion is pointless in my life and can be replaced with friendships, community, and freedom.

About ladies becoming too ritualistic, it's effect of the K-Series drama where working woman is villain and ghungat wali sanskari Bahu is ideal. It's seeped in so much that ladies in Maharashtra started doing karwa chauth and South Indian marriages hosts mehendi/Sangeet. This cultural project is on for quiet some time.

[@sarahsiddiqui6494]

Not true. K series came much later. Women in all families are the ones who are forced to be religious. The onus of being religious is always on the women on the house. Men of the house can go out and behave as modern as they want. In most Indian households who are vegetarian you will mostly find that the son goes out to eat non veg and it is the women who have to remain vegetarian to maintain purity of the house.

Religion is about having control it is actually not way of life it is about controlling one' s life , women tend to be more religious than men because she is the one who has to do everything in a home from puja to all household duties even there are maids she is the one who is responsible to see that work is done by the maids she faces that as a daughter and daughter in law and when she becomes mother and mother in law she imposes same on daughter and daughter in law.A religious person is considered sanskari who follows the orders without questioning

[@pramodgaikwad5500]

The point u mentioned about Dr Dawkins applies to Harris as well (jew culture priviliges), but this is my perception based on debates so I cannot claim it to be true. The global culture that ur talking about exists in US, its called unitarian church where there are believers as well as non believers too. Personally I've not been there bcoz I am not in need of such community. I grew up in a superstitious Hindu family (even though we were supposed to be Buddhist). It took me age 12 (poverty in slums make u belief in an entity in sky so desperately)to start questioning God perse (having trained to pray God's of all religion's, no distinction in my mind), it took me age 16 to completely stop believing in God. Thereafter, exploration was for confirmation bias, but as learning grew from medicine, zoology to physics and social Sciences it was no more for confirmation bias, it was for better understanding of nature. My wife an iranian born and grew up in an Islamic society but a sort of Atheist family, grew up as Atheist, we met online and today living in boston do not follow any religion. We do have an Ambedkarite( and iranian too) community here in which majority members are Buddhist but many are still Hindu, a clear cut tag less is my family. My 4 year old son's name is so much scientific that no one will ever ask him his religion...just kidding. I do agree with you that India has gender differences when it comes to not believing God and not following religious rituals. I also faced a little bit especially after my dad's death, they ( my family) tried emotional blackmailing w.r.t offering of "naivedya" to crows, I did not budge and still is criticized for it. My family is a pseudo ambedkarite/Buddhist and with their inferiority complexes always try to align with the majority higher caste Hindu community and do express their anti Muslim mindset many times. The point here is that it could have been an easy Atheist journey for me if they had practiced Buddhism, immediately after they accepted the religion, but survival in a majoritarian Hindu society, made my Atheism journey a bit complicated.

[@sarahsiddiqui6494]

Okay first of all you should write a book on your journey in life if you haven't. Also really appreciate your self awareness. That is the goal for me as an atheist too.

[@roopendrasingh1487]

These two guys are so obsessed in their own small world and are ignorant about reality.. They think that to know about reality is so cheap that God would appear in front of them as evidence. Infact instead, at least rationally take steps to explore about it. Don't limit sanatan dharma only upto what in general common hindu puts it or perceive it. Sanatan dharma is very rational. Don't consider that you only is the one who is intellectual because you are not as you keep restricting the need for God to get marks or fear drives religion. You just keep picking illogical versions of dharma and just putting it forward as your argument.
