Religion serves morality and purpose in that way

Not saying it’s good or bad, it’s what seems to be the case

can you rephrase your sentence

its really confusing

"Most people will not adhere to whatever they like thinking is right without some form of punishment"

You’ll never get millions of people to be cohesive under atheism

They don’t have the foresight to reach existencialism so an old book and an omnipotent bearded man does the job for the them

well.. that's how religion staarted to begin with

but I"m more surprised that people haven't broken through it

What I’m saying in that sentence is people can have all the moral codes they want, most of them will only ever follow whatever is convinient, no one is going to be righteous without being under threat of punishment

yep, I can agree with that, but it is because we understand what's right and wrong that we become truly righteous and moral

you don't see atheists waging war

yo udont see atheists committing terrorism

christians got kkk, muslims got isis

Hence why some form of theism is necessary to any functioning society

kek.

well ima nihilist

what i mean is, religion is just selling a fake story that gullible idiots believe, and if that really makes them a better person, whatever, but religion does way more harm than good

they're literally anchors

Che Guevara is an atheist, and so are a lot of other commies, so no, that statement is wrong

commies =/= terrorist

dont you think its needed to keep people in line though if we had no religion unstable people would have nothing to cling to for stability

i think that why we have religion tbh

each individual can find it within themselves to be their own base, their own solid ground

Not gonna happen

you know that majority of atheists were former religious people right?

of course

and more often than not, they were the more devout ones that really checked out the religion itself, learned more about it

and then the more they learned about it, the more bullshit they find

and eventually they just drop it

when I escaped, my world was basically shattered

like my whole life was a lie

exactly

but as long as you dont lose yourself, its not a big deal

same

you can find it in yourself to be your own solid ground

not god

not anything else

you yourself

but those that lose themselves can use religion as a temporary base

that's probably why I easily accepted mgtow lol, without going through red pill rage
