No person ought, or of right can be compelled, to attend any religious worship, or erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of his conscience.

"My Atheism says you can't do religion"

And we're full circle

[-] AnotherWastedHuman@retrolemmy.com 13 points 2 days ago

Not nearly. Atheists generally don't go around preaching their beliefs uninvited, while religious nuts are constantly virtue signaling before they even open their mouths.

Atheists are usually just fine with people believing in whatever deity they prefer, just so long as they don't force their beliefs upon others. Guess what actually happens.

If you deny any of this, then you're not even being honest with yourself, let alone any of us.

The sheer irony of this comment on this sub

[-] AnotherWastedHuman@retrolemmy.com 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The fact you leave such vague responses smacks of desperation to "win," rather than engage in good... *ahem* ...faith. You know you're wrong, and are just grasping at straws in an attempt to feel smug.

Whatever gets you through your day.

That's not what freedom from religion is. It means I can practice my religion, but I can't make anyone else follow it. If someone's religion mandates others have religion then that's when problems arise (and the atheists should win there)

Actually yes. You are dangerously ill, and need to be deprogrammed, like a drug user.

You left us no choice besides the warpath, I'm saying it openly

Yes, a Crusade! Once the governments normalize, we should just push for cult deprogramming like any other.
