Religious Villagers React To Countries With The Highest Rate of Atheism, Tribal People React Atheism

[@slantos2668]

Being atheist doesn't mean not knowing about religion, it is more about deciding that one doesn't believe in what that religion dictates as truth. Also one can ethnically be from a certain religious group and still be atheist.

[@tubularap]

Yes, you said it well. I would like these men to see a video with atheists explaining their viewpoint, so they can understand how life without believe in a higher being is experienced..

[@MaxGeaux]

@@tubularap I agree. After this video, they really do need to see a thoughtful one from atheists. I was raised Catholic, briefly went to Catholic school, did CCD, and all that. In my early 20’s, I went to numerous churches of different denominations trying to find one that made sense to me. I ultimately decided to acknowledge what I think I was afraid to, and that was that I simply didn’t and couldn’t believe, and that was okay. It’s not that we don’t know about religion. Many of us know it intimately, and that’s precisely why we came to be where we are today. I practice TM twice a day, and those 20 minutes of quiet give me the inner-peace I think many look to religion to feel. I don’t begrudge anyone their own beliefs, so long as they don’t use it as a weapon, which sadly, it often is.

Alcohol tends to diminish that, also a lot of mind-numbing stuff these days. So yeah, taking care of yourself and others, nurturing yourself and seeking discomfort is taking care of yourself, aka being spiritual. Serotonin also plays a huge role in eating healthy, but alcohol stops the enzyme which produces serotonin in the gut via vegetables, so many people don't even know there are more heightened state. We are spiritual beings in nature, you notice this as a child, but constant bombarding of the senses, being comfortable and all numbs you, aka, feeling less connected to the spiritual.

Our country however was converted to Christianity by force, vikings turned christian went to war to force religion on others, and basically started gathering Norway in under one kingdom, and it's why our holidays are somewhat weird, as they basically tried to shoehorn Jesus into Norse celebrations, like Christmas, celebrated on the 24th of December with a big feast, then exchanging gifts after dinner, the feast is remnants of old, as a celebration of the sun turning and the days starting to grow longer again, was celebrated by feasting with stored foods and beer. There's also Santa, in Norwegian called Nissen, a Nisse is an old Norse creature , a spirit of sorts that would guard a farmstead... IF you put out food for them around Jul celebrations (the Norwegian name for Christmas) and if you didn't they'd cause mischief and trouble for you, some think this is part of the inspiration for putting out food for Santa.

The countries with the highest amount of atheists are statistically safer and more peaceful than countries that have high levels of belief. Religion unites, but too often it unites one group against another, and it causes fighting, war, and otherness. I'm an atheist, and if I'm wrong that's OK. I'm sure a God wouldn't be petty enough to care. Babu was very wrong when he said we are ignorant about religion. Far from it. We are aware of the teaching and doctrines, often more so than those who believe. I, personally, see no need for it, nor do I understand why a God would require worship. Religion is treated with scepticism in my country, and isn't a plus by any means. Religious people keep it to themselves, as the majority don't want to hear about it.

I find this encouraging, though I'd like to know his sources. I decided on general paganism when I was 19. It just seemed more realistic. But not affiliated with anything in particular. I was raised Catholic, so anything with a bureaucracy is out. My only practice is occasional prayer, and I don't make a big ritual out of it; I just have a little talk with Goddess or God, whomever seems right. Other than that I try to be good to others. Long ago I came up with the line, "I don't care if you believe the moon is made from green cheese and is god. Just don't try to make *me* believe it. You leave me alone, I'll leave you alone." Side note, one thing I've never understood that seems big in many religions are the questions, what is the meaning of life? Why am I here? For one thing, who cares? Why care? You're alive. Be thankful and live. Or not. Your choice.

Education, becoming wealthy or communism are the main reasons for a high percentage of atheist. One major exception to this rule is the USA. The country with by far the highest GDP in the world, and yet a low(er) number of atheist than even other Anglo Saxon countries like Canada, UK and Ireland. One of the reasons I feel is the amount of immigrants in the USA that have fled religious persecution recently or even centuries ago. Immigrants tend to hold on to their religions more strongly and also remain more orthodox than the country they came from. An example I can give is our Turkish immigrants here in the Netherlands who are (in general) far more religious and especially orthodox than there family members in Turkey itself.

[@ChristopherStendeck]

They say to learn about one religion is to be indoctrinated, to learn about many, inoculated. That's how I believe many atheists, like myself, have the lack of religion that we do. I think of each religion as a bubble which people are generally born and/or raised inside of. They talk about "God" rather than "a God", assuming everyone knows which God they are referring to, and they accept the claims of their particular religion as fact. When you are in a bubble like this, where your religion is the only religion, your God is only God, you essentially live day to day without your world view ever being challenged. Now think of every religion as a bubble like that, and everyone within these bubbles living in perfect, unchallenged assurance that their religion is the correct one and 100% true. They can't all be right of course. Now think of atheists as people living lives outside of these bubbles. We can see all of them, understand them, know what they claim about reality, familiarise ourselves with their mythology and customs... and as such, from the outside, we see each bubble as what they are; religions; organised sets of beliefs based on the folklore, oral and written traditions, and mythology of a particular region or people. So it's not that we don't know enough about religion; in most cases, it's that we know too much. What's more, we notice once free from it that we don't change as people. Moral people don't become immoral, reverent people don't become irreverent, nor do we lose any sense of wonder at the universe, in fact, many people say they have only gained such things. Since we do not believe a higher power is watching, we notice that the morally good actions we perform, or the bad ones we avoid, were not to win favour, or avoid punishment, but for the benefit of others' wellbeing. You might say, this is as such an innate morality, or in my submission, a truer, purer morality, untainted by personal interest. I could write about this all day, but what matters is that we all understand that there have been thousands of gods worshipped by humanity, hundreds that still are. A religious person, at least, a monotheistic one, discounts the existence of all of them but one. An atheist just goes one further. We are not so different really. And whatever you believe, if it makes you happy, keeps you humble, and doesn't intrude on anyone else's freedom, it's all good. ☺️

The best way to understand the West and why it is the most atheist, and the West was not always atheist, but the best way to thin of it, Western society is an intellectual and scientific one, they would rather read of book of science than a book of signs.

It is of no disrespect to those who are religious, but more, a different way of thinking about things. EDIT: The reason for atheism in a alot of Eastern European countries, and Eastern Asian countries is because of communism, it was illegal to be religious then, communism replaced religion, communism was the religion, and when communism disappeared, the damage was done, it made most people atheist, and then upon gaining freedom they stayed atheist.
