Why is the religion section populated mostly by athiests?

Isn't atheism when you don't have religion? Or am I getting that wrong?

Have a nice day =D

Atheists visit the "R&S" section because...

We know many of the answers.
We're interested in the topics.
We've made friends here.

And of course... when we try to discuss our theological perspectives in the "Cats" section, they tell us to scram.

P.S. No, atheism isn't a "lack of religion". It's a "lack of belief in a god or gods".

Because religion is too important (i.e., too potentially dangerous, and too fascinating -- like a big car wreck) to be left solely to the theists and believers.

And because some atheists and agnostics are better informed about the history and details of Christianity and Islam than many fervent believers in those religions.

Why are you so blind to what an athesit is?!! ATHEIST - somebody who would not have faith in a God – any God – no longer in basic terms the Christian one. yet that does no longer mean they do no longer carry solid ethical or non secular ideals! they'd shop on with any faith that would not have a god and there are numerous those!! Like BUDDHISM – non secular coaching from Buddha and his followers that by using destroying greed, hatred and fantasy (the reason of all suffering) guy can attain suitable enlightenment!! upload christians and muslims at the same time and that they quantity to easily decrease than a third of the international inhabitants the final public of the rest is made out of atheists and religions without gods!! so as that they are in the final public right here!!! all the different relgions and athesits get alongside in simple terms high quality so ask your self why it particularly is in simple terms Christians that get attacked and not the different religions?!!!! Do you no longer know that Christians are scary retaliation and repudiation for his or her poor attitudes?!! perhaps if Christians stopped their illiberal, egotistical, hate filled and bigoted postings issues would substitute!! perhaps if Christians stopped eschewing practise, technology, evolution works of fiction and lots, lots extra issues would substitute!! perhaps if Christians stopped being the sole faith opposing human rights and persecuting gays, professional selection and lots extra issues would substitute!! perhaps if Christians stopped stressful freedom of religion whilst they deny it to all non Christians and persecute them issues would substitute!! !!! If Christians rediscovered the god of affection and forgiveness and positioned aside all those poor human thoughts issues could surely substitute!!!! Why are Christians so petrified of human beings who in simple terms have not got faith in any god?!!!! particularly it could in basic terms be with the aid of fact they are so afraid that atheist are top and that they are incorrect or it would not subject them!!!!!! So please comprehend it is not approximately concept, God or Jesus yet bearing directly to the extraordinarily undesirable christian attitudes and habit!! as quickly as Christians rediscover the loving god and initiate up performing like it the undertaking will stop!!!!

Atheism is when someone does no believe in a god or gods.
Buddhism is an atheistic religion, not all atheists are Buddhist.
This is a Religion and Spirituality section, as such anybody with an opinion on religion or spirituality can ask or answer questions.

So either you were wrong or a troll.
Out of curiosity which one hurts Jesus more ?

I think they come here to laugh at the believers. but they are doing no harm. they have a right to believe as they want. who are we to judge them. when religion is based on violence and greed, and hatered. religion has taken the loving word of god and warped it so much, that no wonder people dont believe in him. athiest are smarter than all of you because they at least dont listen to every word they were told. If I hadn't had some proof that there was a other side, and proof that god is real, I would probably have been athiest too.
