Is it normal that i think atheists should not be allowed to have rights?

I think atheists should not be allowed to have the same rights and freedoms as Christians.Let me explain why.

-America was created on the basis of christian family values.

-Atheists don't believe in the lord so it is fair to assume
that they have NO morals and ethics.

-Most atheists want to take rights and freedoms away from hardworking families

-Athiests want to legalize gay marriage and take away MY right to freedom of religion.

    This is why our society is going down the drain. Do you remember history class at all? Let me give you a little refresher course. The men responsible for building the foundation of the United States were men of "The Enlightenment", not men of Christianity, they were freethinkers who relied on their powers of reason and not on their faith. Nowhere does the Constitution say: "The United States is a Christian Nation", or anything even close to that. The Bill of Rights states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

    And just a personal guess you are so shallow that you probably think any religion aside from Christianity is wrong? I was brought up in a very Christian home, and bad things happened to me. I became Agnostic, and since you assume(you know what you do when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.) that I am devoid of morals and ethics, here you go: I have never harmed a fellow human being, I am faithful to my husband, pay my taxes, take care of the sick and dying at my place of employment.

    And as for taking away your right to excercise your religious freedoms, I have no interest in that, because I enjoy in the same freedoms you do, I just don't want everyone to conform to my way of thinking.

    What the fuck? Shut the fuck up! You make Christians look REALLY BAD!!!!!! As for Gay marriage..there is NOTHING wrong with it!! Just because some asshole editted the Bible and said it's a sin, doesn't mean it's true! If you believe in God, you should know that she/he loves everyone! You sound like you're someone from the old days WAAAYY OLD DAYS back when the Church tortured people!

    Well im athiest, and if you actually knew anything about America, youd know that the founding fathers were actually athiest, and that they didnt celebrate christmas..

    You must not know athiests at all if youre also saying that they dont have any morals..AND, you can be a hard working family and be athiest.

    The reason im athiest is because my parents were open minded with religion around me. I used to be christian. Isnt that how its supposed to be? I believe that children should be introduced to certain religions at a certain age so they can decide for themselves what religion they believe in.

    And theres nothing wrong with gay marriage, it should be a right as an american to marry whoever they want. Athiesm is MY religion. So arent you taking away my freedom of religion?

    Youre very narrow minded, but i guess thats normal for you, after all you go to church...

          Wrong. Atheism is not a religion, and neither is theism.

          Atheism is a lack of belief - atheists don't believe in God. Beyond that, atheists vary greatly in their views on the origin of the universe, morality and everything else. Also some atheists claim there is *definitely* no God, while other atheists will claim it's not 100% knowable, yet improbable - and with no evidence to suggest believing it is a good idea.

          • hemper

            but a lack of belief can also be viewed as a belief of not believing. the human mind assumes and believes; we believe in science most of the time because it makes logical sense, yet it is still a belief system. If humans lack the power to believe we lose our cognitive power. Atheism, the -ism itself suggest that it is a belief; a belief in no deities yet noneheless a belief.

            Atheists do vary greatly in their ideologies but one can't deny that one has to believe in no deities to be atheist. I would argue that just like how the abrahamic traditions believe in a God which is the starting point of all their doctrines, atheists fundamentally believe in no God and formulate 'doctrines' (in modern society we call them philosophies or theory on human nature, many existentialist philosophers come to mind atm)

            So all in all, atheism is at best another belief system even if you don't consider it a religions(which in my case I do since they are so similar)

            to deny belief is to deny our existence

    - The US wasn't based on christian family values, but the values of the enlightenment.

    - You don't need religion to have morals and ethics. Just as wanting a group of people to not have rights because they don't share the same belief is neither moral or ethical.

    - Which rights are athiests trying to take away? I'd suggest most athiests just want the freedom to live their lives in peace. And some of them have 'hardworking' families of their own.

    - A gay couple getting married takes away not one single right or freedom of a religious person. You still have the exact same right to not marry a person of the same gender as you have before gay marriage. Giving someone else a right you enjoy doesn't take your right away.

    The fact that humans think they know the truth about reality is retarded...You know only what you learn and you learn that from people who learnt that from other people and so on, so science is a joke because we have no true basis for comparison....and god is just as likely to be a giant platypus that hates humans and makes it rain by pissing on us.

    That's not true about everyone who is atheist. I don't care if someone has different beliefs, just as long as they're nice about it.

    And, atheism and agnosticism are not the same thing. Before you tell me I'm wrong, I googled it. Agnostic means you're open to the possibility that there is a God, and atheist means you firmly believe that there's no God. I have a friend who is agnostic and she's said "I'm praying to God" before. So yep, they're different.

    Ok I'm a "Christian". I'm not a Christian, I'm a "Christian".

    I do not believe in the fine print of some bullshit book written by tribesmen.
    Why do you think gays should not be allowed to marry? I know why... A man who lies whith another man shall be stoned. The same part of the bible instructs us that when a woman is on her period she must be tied to a chair and must not touch anything or anyone as it will become impure. Why do you hate gays but not tie women/yourself to a chair.
    On a similar note masterbation... banned... Eating pork... Banned...
    You can't pick and chose parts of the old testament and not others hypocrite.

    I am a "Christian" because I ignore the old testiment completely and ignore everything after Jesus' 40 days after death. All of a sudden... The bible becomes a lot nicer :D

    Now do I believe religion and state should ever mix? No... It's a fucking disaster waiting to happen.
    Mixing Religion and state = Iran
    Mixing Religion and state = Pakistan
    Mixing Religion and state = Saudi Arabia
    Mixing Religion and state = Afganistan
    Mixing Religion and state = Pre-Revolutionary France
    Mixing Religion and state = The Spanish Inqusition

    There should be no mixing of Religion and State ever. Don't prevent Religion (unless it's breaks laws, ie no udder allowed), but it is to be separate from the state.

    ------------------------

    Is it Normal to think like this?
    Yes... If you change the religion to Islam and your name is Osama Bin Laden. (and you weren't dead).

    Voltaire: I have no Morals, yet am a very Moral man.

    Me: I have 3 Morals (don't be a dick, don't use force against women, try not to kill someone), and I'm a reasonably moral man.

    You have Morals, Yet are a horrible Dictitorial human being.

    Fuck morals.

    Children gather round why I explain how OP has no idea about what he's talking about:

    -America was created on the basis of christian family values. - I'm british so I can't fully answer this but the founders of america as you see it today weren't christians, they based their laws and such on common sense and morals (meaning it was based on what's right and wrong).

    -Atheists don't believe in the lord so it is fair to assume
    that they have NO morals and ethics. - Wrong, if I had no morals at all why do I fully support anti-bullying campaigns in schools and I love animals, the idea of seeing an animal being treat badly makes me want to treat the person who harmed the animal badly, before you say that's going against morals, read the bible, it also says selling your daughter into slavery is fine, also ever heard of an eye for an eye?

    -Most atheists want to take rights and freedoms away from hardworking families - Where the hell did you get that from? I am an atheist and I have plans for a family, I don't live on benefits, I have a stable job and I've worked my ass off since I was 15, I have no intentions of taking peoples rights based on any of their views.

    -Athiests want to legalize gay marriage and take away MY right to freedom of religion. - I am not against gay marriage, there's nothing wrong with it, I do however have no problem with you going by your religion, my girlfriend/fiancee considers herself catholic and I've not once questioned her religion, its her choice to follow it.

    You my good sir need to do your damn research before ripping on people based on a VERY small amount of them, its like me saying all christians pray before meals, they don't, my grandmother strongly believes in a "God" and she hasn't once done a praying session before eating.

    And at that my young ones this story comes to an end, OP has once again proved how much of a knob he is.

If you hate them you must hate all the others because there not christains. Have some respect and they will respect you for wat you belive in. religion doesn't define someone for who they really are. Ppl can belive anything they want as long as there happy,its such BS ppl hating on ppl for what they belive. That's why there so many problems in this world. It makes me sick. Everyone should have equal rights. I hate closed minded and ingorant ppl. Just cuz your non christain you don't have to sterotype them and hate them cuz there don't belive wat you belive! Gosh freedom of choice. You don't know the person. Don't judge and hate so much. Religion shouldn't be an issuse in this world. Its quite sad. Don't lable.and target and assume ppl are a certain way. Its sad ppl are really like ''there moron,so there stupid''''i hate them'' REALLY? Ur 12.. grow up ppl. Did you know everyone is different? And have different veiws? :O wow get use to it.

    The concept of particularly the Monotheism religions is that this world we are currently in is somekind of "testing" ground for ourselves. Such a test is used to see who is eligible for the next level aka a heaven like paradise with their lord/God/whatever.

    What gets me with people supporting a kind of religion based government is that establishing laws based on the Bible/Koran/Torah/Etc. doesn't mean it's citizens will get automatic entry into the next the level.

    So if two people lined up at the gates of heaven after their passing - one followed the book because it was the law and another followed it because they genuinely believe in it, should they both be admitted?
