Why is it that so many atheists speak on Religion site?
It does seem strange that when a site is designated as a religion and spiritually site that they show up in large numbers in those sights. Why is there criticism ? That is sort of like asking a non-American to describe what it feels like to be an American. Nstrange isn't
It
I didn't mean in answering questions but moreso in posing questions for which they already have a position. Is that a form of proselyting for atheism? Just wondered as didn't seem to really ask a question. But you are right, we were all given free agency or free will and free to voice opinions. Seems to be a great deal of emotion and even anger. I wondered why.

Your analogy is wrong this is nothing like asking a non-American what it's like to be an American. Believing in nothing is every bit as valid as believing in something, especially then neither position has any proof, and very much after proving that the literal interpretation of the Genesis story is dead wrong. Perhaps the metaphor of Genesis is supposed to teach us truths about being people but historically it's an obvious mythology.

I'm going to start keeping ready made answers - I have answered this question about 8 times in the last 2 days.
Anyway:
1. I have free will
2. I believe that people might find my opinion interesting
3. I want to learn about Christianity and other religions
4. Because there is no atheist section

Incorrect
this room is to discuss religion and spirituality...atheists can discuss religion just as well as, and in many cases provide much better info than, theists
Also it is for the same reason that you cannot have a secular event without religious people storming in and saying everyone will burn in hell....because people love to pick fights

No, not strange at all. This is where people bring up the existence or non existence of a god or gods since such beliefs usually relate to religion.
Also, many atheist know the bible better than many christians and are more unbiased about religions than someone who is indoctrinated into any give one.

Why is it that so many devout Christians speak in the privacy of my home?
To be honest it's satiating. It's like asking a non-American to describe what it feels like to be an American... heheh, Nstrange isn't It?
Source(s): Atheist criticize religion when religion criticizes atheism. Fair enough, right? - Anonymous1 decade ago
I was raised Baptist from birth, I know exactly what it's like to go through indoctrination, and come out of it.
I have a right to express my logical, rational views on here just a much as you have a right to spout delusional nonsense.

No. It isn't strange. It's a site to discuss religion. Why is belief in God required to discuss religion, a subject that affects people in our society whether they believe in God or not?

Religion and Spirituality is the topic of discussion not the prerequisite for discussion.

Because they have opinions on it too.
I mean, I'm not married, but I sometimes answer questions in the Marriage & Divorce section. How is that wrong?
