    The fact that atheism is another belief system is true (none of us is out there proving shit because it can’t be proved, both ways), but calling it wokeness and a religion makes you look like the dumbass you are, Elon.

      Atheism just means that you have yet to find a reason to believe in God or some higher power. It is not a belief system, it is a lack of reason to believe in any belief system.

        Atheism is the denial of god’s existence, a-theism, and since you have no way to prove that there’s no god (the same way there’s no way of proving that there is), you believe that your version of the story is the correct one.

        it is a lack of reason to believe in any belief system.

        You believe all the things you think are true but can’t prove.

        I don’t really want this to devolve into an argument, since I get that this way of thinking holds no practical purpouse, so if you think that it’s too philosophical, that’s okay.

          If something makes absolutely no sense logically and there is zero proof for something and a few tonns of evidence against it (not talking about god but rather every single big religion) it’s a rational decition not to believe in it, well that and not every believe is religous…

    Study is done by “TheFire.org,” which is described as a competitor to the ACLU.

    I know… why do we need a competitor to the ACLU?

    Well, per Wikipedia: “FIRE has been described as a competitor of the ACLU. In 2021, the organization had an annual revenue of $16.1 million. FIRE has received major funding from groups which primarily support conservative and libertarian causes, including the Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute.”

    Oh Charles Koch, you scoundrel.
