I think location should be added as well. You're right that most of the Internet (referring to 4chan/reddit I'm guessing, not facebook or likewise) is outspokenly Atheist. But remember that it's most common for someone who participates in these arguments to be from some relatively secular place - almost anywhere in europe, most places in US, etc - but others are from places where at least the question of religion is closer to the front of the mind.

I think you're wrong. Most of the "edgy" atheists are those who have religious parents and live in a religious environment. Those of us who live elsewhere don't participate in these debates because we have trouble believing that there still exist truly religious people.

Faith is one of the most integral aspects of the human psyche, even if many don't possess it. It's for this reason that I find it beyond fascinating, even beneficial. I see faith as a struggle between impartial scientific method and the basic natural human need for solace, answers etc. When it comes to the question of the existence of a supernatural being, I see the question as a scientific one, which is why I'm atheist. But to me faith is far more something that belongs in the realm of the human consciousness.
I wish many atheists would recognize this and move away from their narrow perception of religion. At the same time I hate the reactionary attitude of many believers who consider all or most atheists ignorant and aggressive.
>Lets face it, most of the Internet is outspokenly Atheist / Agnostic.

But that's a pretty selective area of the internet. I don't think it's indicative of the general population who has access to it. Even on the Internetty-Internet you've got social networking sites and whatnot, and there's definitely no overwhelming majority of non-believers on those.
I just think it's a very annoyingly vocal minority that gives this impression.

If I might speculate, I think that the internet as a whole is probably proportionate to real life. With a bias of course to those who have the technological infrastructure and the ability to use it, first world youth are oversampled, for example.
But given that so many Christian traffic exists, so many new age and eastern religious sites proliferate, and given what we know about some fundamentalist Muslims being radicalized via the internet. I don't think we could say it's mostly secular.
I think what is more likely is that the atheist population in culture is under-reported, because even though it's considered impolite to ask people about their religious affiliation, and even though diplomacy encourages secularism, it is considered the default position for someone to be a believer. (Erroneously, I have to add) I think a lot of people are familiar with the clip of Wolf Blitzer asking the oklahoma tornado survivor if she was grateful to god for sparing her, and she rather politely, if awkwardly said that she was an atheist.
>Oh, I'm in Oklahoma, I just assumed.
It's not that Christians and other believers are not used to having their faith questioned or challenged, I just think that they are not used to the level of challenge that an anonymous environment engenders. Meeting this "hidden" counter culture can cause them to overestimate the number and feel overwhelmed.
Much like some Homophobic individuals feel like "everyone is turning gay" now that people are more open about being gay, They were always gay. It's just you assumed otherwise unless you had reason to suspect.

>>3857497
I think he was specifically referring to that slice of nerdy somewhat old-fashioned Internet when he said Internet, and while that is selective, it's not an uncommon usage and it's a reasonable distinction to make - it's reasonable to talk about that specific slice of Internet activity as a discrete thing. and in that category, it really is at least plurality atheist/agnostic, if not overwhelmingly atheist/agnostic.

If you can't understand the specific Internet cultures we're talking about here, I'm not sure what to say. I definitely agree on social networking sites or the Internet more broadly the trend doesn't hold up but I think it's true enough amongst the specific subculture.

Yes, yes I do. I'm not obsessed about it, but when it gets brought up I weigh in heavily.

It's also a political preference: I don't believe in freedom of speech for the current churches, in their rights for education or social programs. I'm for the confiscation of the church's property.

I do support those aligned with liberation theology, christian-anarchism etc.

I like atheists (obviously excluding the militant kind) and agnostics. I don't mind most monotheists, but I see Islam as a canker eating away at the heart of human civilization. I despise it and think it must be wiped out by any means necessary, for the good of the human race.

>>3857564
It's hard enough seeing some of that stuff secondhand, I watched a documentary the other week about a woman in Pakistan who was gang-raped but her attackers got off after a muslim cleric swore that he married her to one of the rapists.
As I've matured, and gotten over the shock of my deconversion from Christianity, I've put aside a lot of my "arrogant atheism" or "militant atheism" or whatever term they're using now. But though I want to leave believers alone to follow whatever they choose. Inwardly I'm pretty disgusted with the atrocities and hypocrisies.

>>3857597
You think you are on a moral high ground here, for repeating the standard liberal position which I respect. However, seeing fascists, churches, pseudo-scientists, fake-healers, fanatics etc. exploit the unlearned working classes makes one wonder: what right am I supporting really?

What is the right balance between the principles and the actual, non-ideal world?

>>3857613

The really crazy thing is that (she tells me, at least) most of these muslim families in western countries just act normally around people but are really fucked up in private.

Essentially the revival of pre-Christian Germanic paganism (focused on Odinism and the Norse pantheon, but including all Germanic pagan traditions and inclusive/sympathetic of most European pagan traditions). The local Asatru chapters where I live do things like Edda study groups, metalsmithing workshops, gatherings for pagan ceremonies and holidays, etc. I'm in it for the values.

>>3857665
Well, we find our spiritual needs are better-fulfilled by our ancestors' faiths than by the modern Abrahamic religions. A big aspect of Asatru is respect for your ancestors and heritage, so a lot people who value that highly tend to drift in.

>>3857672
Nothing, but like I said respect for ancestors and cultural heritage is a big part of Asatru. People are also interested in the culture of the pagan societies, and they join kindreds (chapters) to meet like-minded people who share that mindset as much as they do for spiritual concerns. Kindreds aren't really like a Christian congregation, they're probably closer to religiously-minded cultural societies. Your 'religious observances' should be mainly shown in how you live your life.

>>3857622
>the unlearned working classes makes one wonder: what right am I supporting really?
but you reserve the right for yourself to label a vast group of people "unlearned", assume they can't take care of themselves, portrait yourself as someone who can look after them, act as their savior if you will, and have their best interests, which they are too stupid and ignorant to know about, in mind as you act?

Is there like a time frame for this ancestor respect stuff? What about your ancestors who lived before the iron age? You guys whittle sticks in remembrance of them?

>>3857716
Metal-working workshops and similar activities aren't held "in remembrance" of our ancestors. They're held because, like I said, people who gravitate to Asatru are usually extremely interested in the cultures of the Germanic pagan societies. There is no hierarchy or religious official telling us to do things, cultural workshops are held by people who volunteer, for people who are interested for whatever reason.

Let's divide that text in two parts.

First, your description of the proletariat is symptomatic of the material and economic conditions that raised them, where they socialized. It's not their fault for being functionally illiterate, or being left culturally on the level of the multiplicity of consumerist choices. Anyone who have seen an advert knows, that the motor of our economy is propaganda, manipulation, simple lies. It's for the sake of the status quo the proletariat are being limited in growth of mind.

Second, your characterization of my own assessment of myself. It's quite the opposite, actually. I find my salvation in theirs.

>>3857720
I see. Sounds fun. I would be hesitant to link it to a belief system rather than just calling it a hobby people of your faith happen to share, though. But I guess you don't actually do that, so cool.

>>3857721
Well, I suppose you could say that in this case our interests and inclinations lead us to the religion that suits our needs. People dedicated enough to join a kindred do take their spiritual beliefs very seriously, but the main impetus to join a kindred is to meet others who share your beliefs (and usually your interests), not to engage in the kind of structured worship that characterizes monotheism.

You took the word 'unlearned' and extracted that content. I tried to find common ground with it, yet you so far have failed to relate to the matter unmasked.

>>3857821
cool but you're still generalizing a vast group of people and portraying yourself as better than them, able to make decisions for them, head their government, rig their elections in your favor, lead by a self-invented divine right, although that divine right is self-assumed socio-intellectual instead of theocratically sourced

Yeah. Atheist often think that atheism is a substitute for philosophy. It isn't.

Spiritual Buddhist

I don't believe in any set number of gods, but rather believe that there must certainly be beings living on a higher plane than us, in the same way that we are higher beings than the molecules from which we are composed. If that doesn't sound too schizo.

True Leninism inevitably leaves a power vacuum which has been historically been filled by monsters like Castro and Stalin. Checkmate, atheists.

>Raised in a Pentecostal household
I am currently going to D.S.O.M. classes, which are the classes to become a minister in the Assemblies of God denomination. I have no heart in it. I've tried to believe in God many times, even lost friends over it, but I can't even begin to believe. I've spent whole nights sometimes crying in prayer to God I knew wasn't there. Contemplated suicide, but I enjoy the ups in life more than I abhor the downs.I've tried looking for an out, but I currently live with my parents due to the horrible economy in the good ole' U.S. OF A. Want to hear more? Nah, I bet you don't
