As an athiest I need religious people to stay religious because I couldn't trust them behave morally otherwise.

I recently went out for dinner with an old friend who had a difficult past few years. I could tell that his religious beliefs were the only things holding him together, so I just listened sympathetically.

I believe most atheists (included) don’t care if people are religious as long as they don’t legislate their religion upon us

Great point! Not many people can handle that the universe just is that, nothing more, nothing less.

I also believe a lot of people lack an internal moral compass. The only thing keeping them from lying, cheating, and stealing is their religion. Taking that away from them would be bad for society at large.

"Let them keep their stories". Amen! My mom is born again and her religion holds her fragile mental health together.

The real problem is capitalism. If people’s basic needs are met, there will be less need for religion

So tell yourself a story that soothes your existence and live by it, just don't want that shaping the laws and rules by which we all have to liveby

I would be ok with religion if ppl didn't weaponise religion and hurt so many other people... we need to look within, not outside for answers.

1. Even if individuals “do better” with religion, society as a whole is worse with it. 2. The answer is not to continue to aid and abet religion but, instead, to improve secular society so that people no longer turn to religion.

Atheists don’t care if you want a religion. We just want you to have one that isn’t hateful, isn’t oppressive, and that doesn’t impact everyone that doesn’t believe in the same one in a negative manner.

Religion is the most reliable way to ensure morality in a large populace. It becomes a self policing system of social pressure. Basically a 'broken windows' theory in reverse. The problem is not all religions have the same morality; it begins to break down in non-homogonized societies.

The problem is, once you know, you can’t go back. You can’t close Pandora’s box.

China, France, Japan and Australia are doing pretty well with growing Athiest populations. I agree that decent healthcare and social services are key. Not to be rude, but people who aren't intelligent seem to thrive and need religion the most.

I think a lot more people would be horrible people without religion. I genuinely think some people are only somewhat okay humans cause they think it will get them to heaven (or whatever alternative their religion has)

An atheist believes in being a good person
A religious person believes in aspiring to get a reward or avoid a punishment through being a good person.
Could you imagine if they suddenly don't have a reason to be a good person?

A lot of religious ppl aren't even very strict, their beliefs are tailored to what suits them personally or can change within the community over time.

I wish I could believe in a religion. It offers so much. I just can't make myself believe.
