Atheism poll

[Sister Fracas 5]

A 2006 study showed that atheists are the most hated minority in the United States, far ahead of muslims, homosexuals and everyone else. But their numbers are growing. What are your opinions on the group?

Tx!

Don't you know atheist = antichrist

And there are the Christians and Muslims worried about being the most hated.

Hubster is an atheist and the thing that bugs him absolutely the most is that everyone else yells "respect my beliefs" ad nauseum and then they turn around and don't respect his right to non-belief and ramble on about bible says this, blah-di-blah.

I think it's just crazy how atheism is also connected with somehow having no morals.

Me, I'm agnostic with Buddhist leanings.

And if we were to have kids, which we aren't, I'd bring them up without religious education, allowing them to make that decision when they are an adult.

It doesn't say which religion would you not like your child to become, Charles.

Being agnostic I think it's none of my buisiness what my children choose to believe in, if at all. I just hope they'll make up their OWN minds where they stand and not buy into other people's arguments out of convenience.

I feel the same way about my husband's beliefs (he's a christian who doesn't care for organized services) although I don't understand why he believes what he does because it doesn't make sense to me .

I will make sure my children knows about the major religions out there, and most importantly that people believe in different things and that's fine as long as you don't impose your beliefs on others. Religion is a big part of some peoples lives, and it having a clue about it can be good to get an understanding of other peoples' customs and culture.

they're minorities you can be without your parents having been them (i.e. your kid can't "turn out" to be black). i should have also thrown in republican and democrat, but it was late at night.

There are a few on there I'd really prefer they not be (but I'm not telling which) I have to admit...

but if they are I'd still love them anyway.

i'd certainly not characterize muslims or christians as minorities.

I consider myself agnostic. Would not have a problem dating an atheist. Had to choose one for the last question, so I picked HK, though I really don't know anything about it TBH.

Was George Harrison a Hare Krishna? He seemed pretty cool.

No sister Jenn, he was just using the power of the magic mushroom.... :star:

Hare Krishnas are cool people in India. Every HK I've met in the US has been a crazy nut. I hate what HK has turned into in the West, it's weird and creepy.

Thanks for the help keeping The Monkey off my bank.

FWIW, I sometimes eat at a HK commune for lunch. The food is tasty, but I see a lot of Joey Isuzu (as the HK in Airplane) look-alikes.
