Well, first, most atheists belong to a religion. Second, pretty much all atheists live around religious people. Third, there are religious people who look to impose their views on others. 1. Lolwut? Is this your "Buddhism is atheism" again? 2. Not outside the USA no, they don't. 3. Again, not outside the USA. When was the last time any "religious" person entered the night club and tried to impose her views on you?
With regards to number 2, how do they not? In most countries around the world, atheists are a minority so of course they live around religious people. Do you imagine that atheists all form little enclaves for themselves in whatever country they live in?

That simply makes no sense, and would not be something PD would have said. Tough. It is what he said, so I just wanted to know if it's what he was saying in this thread. No, he's never said that once, liar. Given PD is a non-Buddhist atheist, that would make absolutely no sense.

I'm an atheist living in London and I live amongst people of many different religions.

It has been brought to my attention just how much 'some' Atheists obsess over religion. I don't know how many times I've seen, read, or heard Atheists get really mad about people believing in God, Allah, Jehovah, or even reincarnation or spiritual philosophy. Why? If you don't believe it, why insist on making people who do feel inadequate? Why try and undermine someone who does? There are some Atheists who obsess over telling people religion isn't real and how fake their beliefs are. I think I understand what you mean... When Carrie Fisher died, and then her mother Debbie Reynolds died the next day... people on IMDb were talking about how they were together again in heaven... And they were being attacked by people who didn't believe in the afterlife and heaven... I kept thinking... What does it matter to you, if people are saying they are in heaven? People are always going to come to message boards and say such things, because it makes them feel better to share their feelings with other people who wish to do the same (Misery Loves Company), and their lifetime of beliefs are strong enough that disbelievers, on some message board, are not going to change their minds... Disbelievers should be smart enough to understand and expect such conversations to happen everywhere they go, and that they should just avoid any threads with the word "heaven" in the title, because all they are going to do is just waste their breath, or just piss other people off... (Unless they are flamers & trolls...) Everyone is equally entitled to their own opinion, and their own religion (or lack of one)... and you either believe or you don't. There is nothing wrong with people believing differently than you. But people should know when to voice their opinions, and when they should keep their mouth shut... When Carrie Fisher died, and then her mother Debbie Reynolds died the next day... It was unprecedented. I have never seen such a thing in all my life. Fans all over the world were deeply in shock by it, and were mourning over the loss these two famous actresses. Fans were on edge and their feelings were unstable. People can call the fans "Snowflakes" if they want, but they should have known, this was NOT the time to debate the existence of heaven. As expected, by anyone with half a brain, the fans lashed out at anyone who attacked what they had to say... But those who didn't believe, kept right on voicing their unwelcomed opinions... and the IMDb boards turned into a very toxic environment... It was probably one of the factors that caused the old boards to be shut down.

There are some Atheists who obsess over telling people religion isn't real and how fake their beliefs are. I don't believe in unicorns, do you know how many times I've thought of Unicorns in my life? Probably a handful of times, and it's usually someone who brings them up. If Randy Rando told me "I believe Unicorns exist in the South Pacific, they have magic rainbow powers that revive Bigfoot Yeti's in the Rocky Mnts if they truly believe in their magic." I wouldn't get mad at them. I don't care So why get mad if a Christian or Jewish person has beliefs that you think are fairytales? Is it perhaps that you do feel they may be right and have merit, but the anger comes from a place of self doubt? Could you kindly tell us the last time. Anyone tried to pass legislation based on Unicorns? Tried to teach belief in unicorns in schools? Collected vast sums of money in the name of unicorns and paid no taxes? Went to to war over who had the best unicorn? Flew a plane into a building in the name of a unicorn? Drove a car into a crowd of shoppers because of a unicorn? Used the bureaucracy of the church of the unicorn to protect child abusers? See how your unicorn theory is a little bit silly?

There is also the fact that PD isn't even registered on this board so he definitely hasn't said anything on this thread.

You said in another thread that Buddhism wasn't a religion. I realise you have challenges keeping your lies consistent but which is it? A religion or not a religion? What are you whining about? PD has been maintaining for years that "atheists are all religious because Buddhism is an atheist religion".. I was simply asking if that was his point. I personally neither know nor care. I am not surprised that you ignore the other points. As usual in your dementia you can't tell the difference between Skyhawk and Poisoned Dragon: Poisoned Dragon's position on Buddhism: What Skyhawk says about Buddhism: So as you can see once again you make a complete and utter fool yourself. You've been posting on the original RFS board for 4 bloody years and yet you can't tell the difference between two completely different posters despite exchanging hundreds of posts with each of them That you neither "know nor care" about accuracy speaks to your complete lack of self awareness.

There are many religious options that allow for atheism. You not liking reality doesn't change it. And yes, pretty much all atheists live around religious people. Again, as most are religious, that's a given. And this board has plenty of non-American atheists who live around religious people, myself included. And you're wrong a third time. Check into the religious laws in Uganda. Look at the Arab nations. Israel only recognizes marriages approved by a religious council within its borders. I get that intelligent conversation is beyond you, but no one was talking about nightclubs. We have a Christian Heritage Party here in Canada (not that they stand any chance of getting elected). I've had more than a few religious people try to impose their views on me — it's relatively rare here, but people vary and aren't the cheap stereotypes you imagine.

Because they need it just like the rest of us but won't accept it, so their need goes unfulfilled.I can only speak for myself, but I have no need for religion. Therefore, in my life - in respect to religion, there's nothing that needs to be accepted and nothing that has gone unfulfilled.

Same reason some Christians obsess over sharia law I think.

I am not Ada, moron. Sammy Slimes /Morgaine is Ada. I find this confusing. You will not respond to a post addressed to you by a name you used for years, yet you list a name that does not exist in the list of members.

Is it perhaps that you do feel they may be right and have merit, but the anger comes from a place of self doubt? The anger comes from religious people trying to force their other views on other people..and the fact they are ridiculous beliefs at the same time makes it worse. There are 'some' religous people that obsess over religion too and get mad at people who dont believe in what they believe in.. and there are some christians that beleive athiests would be better off beleiving in God and think we are miserable people because of our lack of faith or something which is not even close to being true. There is nothing about making people inadequate just by not agreeing with them. If they feel inadequate for having any disscusion with someone with different opinions than them that's their problem. I feel like your post can be twisted around and could be asked the same for religious people and then your pount would actually make more sense.

Like I said, you weren't making sense, and PD (you actually meant someone completely different - skyhawk) would never say something so nonsensical.
