Idiots like this usually insert a mix of Atlantis, We Wuz Kangs (Nation of Islam edition w/ Yakub), or whatever dumb conspiracy that rattles in the brain when it comes to ancient civilizations, belief in a deity or no.

"But Sweden"
... You mean the country that has had a state religion for 200 years and is now falling to shit with the decline of that religion? Correlation doesn't mean causation and I'm not fan of religion but I do believe in the unifying power of religion and race.

did you not read my followup comment where I said 'Oh, yeah, I wasn't really being serious'? I am aware European countries with state religions are only slightly religious. i forgot that everyone on here is autistic and thus incapable of understanding any sort of not-100%-literal comment. my bad.
'the unifying power of religion and race' wow, this is the dumbest white supremacist take i've seen in a while. was the real reason the nazis lost because half of germany is protestant and half is catholics and they just can't be unified?

This is a motte-and-bailey argument. It's true that atheism is merely a lack of a belief. It encompasses all forms of non-theism.
However, if you insist that anyone who believes in a religion is some kind of medieval moron worthy of contempt, the only possible reason you would say that is you specifically believe there is no god, rather than merely lacking a belief in one.
You not only believe there is no god, but you believe it is so self-evident that only a moron could disagree.
That is a belief.

You believe there is no god that is a belief. Stating you don't believe something is a belief. There is nothing wrong with having beliefs as everyone has them. You can chose to be an atheist. The only people who care are these new atheists who think their beliefs have to super rational and scientific, which is funny as I'm pretty sure most atheists believe in egalitarianism or some form of it which is a pretty Christian idea in the western world.

Background: My husband and I are both agnostic. Our child is 2 years old. We've agreed to introduce to her the cultural and historical aspects of major religions when fit (e.g. when we walk past a mosque and she gets curious. Not telling her anything complicated as of now because, you know, she's 2) and save the doctrines for when she's older. Our babysitter, I'll call her "Emily" here, has the patience of a saint, is very helpful and... religious.
When Emily mentioned her religion during our interview, I made it crystal clear that we will respect that, but I also expect her to respect our wishes regarding religions. I gave her some guidelines like no doctrine-embedded stories (e.g. we're all damned because our ancestors decided to eat an apple), no teaching of doctrines etc. Emily understandingly obliged, or so we thought.
One day I came home early and caught her telling my child the story of creation of the world. I explained to Emily in private that it contradicts what we've been telling her, you know, dinosaurs and such, and reminded her of our agreement. She apologized. I dropped it at that. Yesterday I found out she's been reading to my child religious books for kids that basically tell their readers to pray to and obey some deity. Not cool.
Now I want to fire Emily because of the religious teaching behind my back, but my husband disagrees. He thinks what's important here is that Emily takes good care of our child, and considering that she spends at most 20 hours a week with her, it shouldn't be too hard for us to "undo" the religion part. I told him that a friend's child came home calling their parents sinners after two Sunday school classes so 20 hours a week isn't as trivial as he thinks. He says I'm overreacting and would look really bad if I fire Emily over this issue. Plus, our child has bonded with her already, so replacing her would do our child a disservice. I want to respect my husband's opinions but I'm starting to resent Emily. So reddit, would I be the asshole if I fire her?

Yes discrimination that's what oppressed people suggestFucking atheist circlejerk rn over on reddit's Am I The Asshole? sub. Everyone is saying NTA and fire the sitter immediately. The poster is a weirdo mother who has a two yr old. She hired a babysitter and apparently told her up front no religious anything but she caught her reading the baby religious books, so people are saying kick her ass to the curb. They're also saying it proves she is unsafe like that she would poison the child, give it nuts it was allergic to, not give medicine and other dangerous things because she can't follow basic instructions. She hasn't done anything dangerous though, she just likes telling the baby Christian stories.

Those Jeremiahs notwithstanding, unwillingness to follow simple, explicit instruction is a pretty big deal. And breaking the rule for a second time, after being caught, is inexcusable. The family is right to fire Emily.
If they are feeling charitable they may persuade a religious family to hire her.

True, and its not wrong to fire her for going against the parents wishes, but what does seem irksome is the reddit replies, most of which are just using strawmen or demonizing the babysitter as teaching the baby to kill blacks and gays and derailing the comments section into a religious debate rather than one about why the mother is justified in firing the babysitter. Its not an argument about religion, its an argument about whether she's in the right to scold/fire her babysitter, which she is, but they still want to start some sort of debate regardless.
It sort of reminds me of most youtube comments sections (or any place with comments and upvotes/downvotes) always devolving into a political/religious debate, even when the video/topic has nothing to do with it. Like say a video that's just a funny clip of Urkel getting hypnotized or a stupid video about Spongebob, someone brings up that Urkel getting hypnotized is "just like religion lol" or that Mr. Krabs is a Republican and that Spongebob is Hillary for no reason other than to boast or virtue signal. Its another example of people trying to insert off-topic political nonsense or virtue signal in places it doesn't really fit, much like what's going on in modern media. If the topic does concern those things then fine, but they just find new ways to bitch even in places where it doesn't fit, where people just go to laugh or ask harmless questions.
I also often wonder what 19th century atheists/agnostics like Thomas Henry Huxley would think of modern day fedoras (or the babysitter issue due to his somewhat unique view on Bible studies).

The Vatican has just published a pamphlet calling out the lies of "genderfluidity". The troonosphere is aroar.
Expect more tweets like this in the coming days.

Personally this video turned me away from becoming an atheist when it came out. I knew deep down, I didn’t want to end up like this asshat yelling at people.

I'm genuinely surprised considering how woke the Pope has been. Its also fun to see all these "troons", "polyamory", "demiboys" or whatever the hell they're calling themselves now, completely lose their shit over the organization they claim to not give a shit about.

Even an organization like the Catholic Church can only afford to entertain so much liberal thinking before it becomes clear it will cause a schism.
The Catholics have LONG memories on that subject, every schism they ever had cost them power they never regained, they'd rather die than risk another internal revolt that causes them to lose any more influence, especially on a global scale.

Necroing because a Cr1tikal video managed to attract someone getting euphoric over Christianity. The only thing to really make me laugh is that part of his anger extends to someone leaving behind some religious text in a hotel room.
Even if this guy is trying to bring "logic and sense", it ends up being like other Youtube comments in that everyone else was there to enjoy a video from Cr1tikal, not see someone sperg out over religion. And I'll still get the idea that a Bible in a hotel room will trigger something angry in this guy.
