Religion
In reply to the discussion: Dear Former Atheists, We Are Not The Same: [View all]Bretton Garcia
(970 posts)As a typical liberal Christian, your religious views are better than fundamentalists, evangelicals. But your defense of "faith," will be assimilated by evangelicals, as support for all the bad, unproved things they derive from faith.
Subjective beliefs, faith, are found in religion and politics. Where they do some damage. But because of their problems, science long ago began to follow only ideas that can be proven to be true by empirical tests.
Today, much of atheism follows that scientific breakthrough.
You can't prove the existence of your god. Furthermore, it is obvious that religious beliefs have caused believers too do many very, very bad things. Therefore? We will not follow religion. Instead we will follow more provable, good things.
