That's just really cruel to do, even if you are an atheist.

I'm fine with people not believing in God, and most atheists who aren't boorish assholes will just accept the idea of praying for someone as a gesture of goodwill if nothing else, so to just kick someone who needs a little emotional support while they are down is a totally dick move regardless what you believe.

Exactly. I get why someone wouldn't want to say 'I'll pray for you' if they, well, don't pray/believe. But why not just say 'I'm really sorry...my thoughts are with you and your family' or something along those lines?
 
Atheists are just as insecure about the nature of the universe and the meaning of their existence as religious people are. If they weren't, they wouldn't bitch and moan about it all the time.

You know, there was a time when I actually bought into this crap (back when I was teenager of course), and videos like this make atheists look so rational. One argument I hear time and time again from your typical euphoric is this: "If God is real, then why does he allow people to suffer and go without food and water here on earth? Wouldn't he do something about it?" However, this rock we live on must have came from somewhere. Yeah, euphorics say "that's cause of the big bang!", but God creating it makes sense to me, and I choose to believe that despite what anyone thinks. There may be no proof that he exists, but at the same time, there's no proof that he doesn't exist either. I see it like this, I'd rather believe in God, die, and then find out he's not real, then not believe, die, and find out he is real. So yeah, there's my two cents. inb4:powerlevel:

Then you tell them that the scientist who came up with the Big Bang theory was a Catholic priest and watch their heads explode.

/r/Atheism still has one of my favorite posts of all time.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/circlejerkcopypasta/comments/w9iwr/strong_then_kill/

Deleted now, but in the original thread people were praising this retard. Quoted below original post.

I hate those prisons. I truly hate them. I'm really sorry you had to go through what I went... I guess I'll share my story, and hopefuly I'll make some people realize that these camps are... more than evil.

As a kid I really denied any form of authority. I often harrased teachers, and the idea of a great man in the sky ruling over me was not only ridicoulous to me, but also hazardous... I came out to my (extremist) parents at the age of 14. They cried, threatened me, did everything they could to turn me back into a robot...

About 1 month after I came out, 3 men came into my house at night, and told me to stay quiet and walk with them. I tought it was a kidnapping, as most people who experience this...

I walked into the van, and they explained themselelves. I was shocked and filled with hate, but I knew I shouldn't do anything, the van was small and I couldn't defend myself.

My first day at that prison was horrible... everything I did was supervised, and also controlled. The only time I got some "privacy" was at night, 10 o'clock. After 1 week I just couldn't take the authority, and I was put in isolation. Two months. Two. fucking. Months.

After the first month I began hearing voices in my head, and after another week, the voices formed into a big, strong voice... I only had one conversation with it.

Voice : "Escape."

Me : "How?"

Voice : "Strong. Then Kill."

After the last sentence I never heard it again. But it was enough. I knew my goal. At the time I had about 100 lbs... I was skinny, I didn't have force... I was helpless.

Every time I got out of isolation, I said "fuck God.". All I did in isolation was exercise. I was so full of hate I didn't care about time... In there there was no natural light, just a little crack... I had no clock, so I would just look at the crack while exercising.. Everytime light started to get through the crack, meaning it was day, it was a great achievment. I felt.. great. Small things where all I had, so it was incredible... I exercised in there for 8 months... breaks of 20 minutes, exercises for 1 and a half. And repeat. Repeat. Repeat...

After 8 months, I finnaly got out... everyone was so surprised I didn't shout "fuck God.".

For about 4 days I was heavily looked at by all the guards... that was the day I began the brainwashing. They thought the isolation broke me down. It only made me stronger.

Everytime I entered the brainwashing room I would see a broken window. The room was on the first floor, so I could get out without too much damage. But I was... nowhere. Nowhere meaning a forest. I could run, of course, but how long would the forest last? I didn't know. Forest was freedom. Freedom is good. So I got to get in the forest.

One day, instead of the 5 athletic guys that went with me to the room, there were only 2 janitors. I was so surprised... yet calm. I knew that was my day.

As I was approaching the window, I felt some adrenaline going up my spine...

I quickly headlocked one guy while kicking the other with one foot, and managed to pull a neck break on the headlocked guy.. I got ready, then jumped off the window. I fell, rolled, and managed to don't get hurt bad... I was running, running, running... I could hear some sounds, but I was so thrilled I didn't pay attention.. after about 4km running I finnaly stopped. I could feel freedom. It was... beautiful.

I heard a "fuck! Watch how you're driving, man!". My instinct moved me, and I approaced a yellow car...

"Please.. just.. let me come."

The guy looked at me surprised, then told me to get in. After about half an hour, when I recovered, he asked me my story, but I was still afraid. What if he would get me to the cops? What if he was one of them? I didn't know. I just said "No time to explain. Where are you going?". He said Florida.

I arrived in Florida at the age of 15. I'm 19 now, and I never spoke with my parents again, and will never do it. I truly hate them.

But the experience made me realize how important free will is. .. aaaaand I grew fucking awesome muscles.

Thanks for reading so far :)! I means a lot to me that I can share my story... it hurts even now, after 4 years.

TL;DR : It took me 1 year to escape but, it takes you only 5 minutes to read.

EDIT : Thanks for all your support guys! It's been 4 years since I escaped, so I had plenty of time to rebuild my life, and to find a job. I work right now as a Pentester, Programmer and a skater, which is more than I could have achieved while I was with my parents :)
Anyone here gonna share his story? I figured out we could make a little book out of them, and if we would really sue those prisons, every story counts!

tfw you mistake your schizophrenic head-mumblings for the voice of reason
 
Oh God I remember dealing with one in real life. So what happened is I was at work on my lunch break,sitting at a table with a cheapass TV dinner, some coffee and a sci-fi novel. Then a coworker comes in and looks at my (I always wear a religious pendant and our dress code says we need to have button up shirts so it was showing of course 99.9% of the people there didn't have a problem with it). Anyways this certain worker looks at me with with this disgusted look and said "ugh, that offends me take that shit off!" Now as a theist I believe in turning the other cheek and as an asshole I believe I believe in not giving these fuckfaces even a shred of my time so as I was ignoring this asshat she kept going on and and on about how I was a bad person because of people like Hitler,the westbuoroh baptist church,etc. Along with saying how I'll always be this fucking hypocriteand she'll be little miss perfect because of my belief and my favorite part how I'm apparently an inbred, backwoods retard because of it, after about five minutes of this utter BS I snapped and I said "first, if me practicing my first amendmant rights offends you fuck right off. Second,I didn't shove anything in your goddamn face or down your throat you've been doing that to me so in turn you're a bigger hypocrite than what you've been accusing me to be. Lastly third I'm going out to the smoker outpost because I'd rather risk cancer out there than risk getting cancer by talking to you." and up and left the break room

Fun fact, the next time someone tries this on you, you should tell them "then that makes you a bad person because of Pol Pot and Stalin."

Usually results in one of two things: you'll get a hilarious hypocritical pile of double standards where they give you some convoluted shitty explanation about how viewing the church as a threat to their power has nothing whatsoever to do with atheism, or you'll get REEEEEEE.

Either way you get milk. Either way you win.
 
For the record, the main ideology of the New Atheism movement is secular Humanism, which originated with Auguste Comte as a "science-based religion" intended to replace Christianity after the French Revolution; it was also somewhat influenced by John Stuart Mill's philosophy of utilitarianism, which plays a strong influence in modern progressive politics.

So the founder of the core ideology of progressive, fedora-tipping atheists admitted it was a "secular religion"; it even has its own "statement of faith" which can be viewed online:
