Atheist/non-religious thread

[KarynVA]

How many athiests do you all know in your daily life? I only know one, my spouse. I live in a fairly religious area (Christian, natch). I know quite a few who are agnostic/ non-religious.

Huh! This is interesting (albeit, an old survey):

In the U.S., atheists are mostly men and are relatively young, according to the 2014 Religious Landscape Study. About seven-in-ten U.S. atheists are men (68%). The median age for atheists is 34, compared with 46 for all U.S. adults. Atheists also are more likely to be white (78% vs. 66% of the general public) and highly educated: About four-in-ten atheists (43%) have a college degree, compared with 27% of the general public.

Oh no, this isn't making atheists look good.. quick take it down

Actually? None in my daily life. Not sure if I am friends with any at all actually. Funnily enough lots of my friends are very religious

Yes. Even though I am Christian and the Bible is testimony to ME because I see it as valid, I understand and sgree that it is not PROOF. I hear what y'all are saying and I respect it.

Yeah thank you. I genuinely appreciate folks like you.

It does make sense, the education part.

There are no answers - only more questions. Those who think they have the 'ANSWERS' are delusional.

Very true!! Opinions may have been better haha

What about it makes athiests look bad? I'm confused. It'd be nice to have more diversity ....
