OT 4 More Things Atheists Should Stop Saying

It's not an argument. It's a fact.

You can still use facts in argument and it can still be fallacious, these two aren't mutually excusive. Saying "the majority of the world believes in religion" is factually true, but using it as some sort measurement for the validity of religion is fallacious (argument from ad pop)

"I disagree."

Well then you're basically disagreeing with all of academia. Are they some how wrong? Argument from ad pop is a very well known and established logical fallacy within academia, saying "I disagree" is almost like saying you disagree that the earth is round.


"But it's one more stick on the back of the Atheists who suspiciously want to eradicate all religion.
"

Religion has been on the decline for quite some time, I've already addressed this.

1) You can disagree with them all you want, but you're not producing an actual sound argument against argument ad pop
2.) Do you admit that percentage is going to eventually go down? That's the real point I'm making.

Yeah again, this isn't a good argument for religion, quite the opposite, you're basically admitting the spread of religion has more to do with believers having more children and childhood indoctrination rather than it's actual sound validity. I've already addressed this.

“Do you admit that percentage is going to eventually go down? That's the real point I'm making.”

My answer: “No. Religious people have a LOT more children. Ultra-religious Jews have 10 per woman.”


(The percentage of religious people on Earth.)

I’m talking about the MATH!!!

1. Yes you're presenting facts, but you're using them in a fallacious manner ("A lot of people believe in religion, therefore there must some truth to it") I've already addressed this.

2.) Did you not see the Pew article I sent you? Also the world is still majority religios only because so many countries are underdevoped and poor. Poor countries tend to be more religious (and yes the data is there to show that) because they have more children and they don't have access to the best education. Once these third world countries start to catch up, the religiosity of them will almost certainly drop.

And sadly, these folks, particularly in the US, are often mired in ignorance and poverty. 

)1) But of course, that goes without saying.

2) I looked up statistics on my own.
And "religious" and "believer" are two different things. Many people in 1rst world countries (like me) don't belong to any organized religion. But they still believe.
Intelligent and educated people can think for themselves. They don't need a church to tell them what to believe, think or do.
