It seems to me that, during my short time here on the forums, the majority of the AG Community is Atheist. Is this just me, or is there truth to my thoughts?

the christian argument for a god not revealing himself is that if you need him to reveal himself you are not worthy to know him, and i disagree sosciety is a breeding ground for ignorance people will always have faith as there are always new converts and many christians basically force their children into christianity, if you are told something often enough from when tou are young enough you will always believe it

If it is to play devil's advocate, then it doesn't really matter as long as they make valid arguments without intentionally presenting christians poorly. I apologise but I do not see why this was brought up.

Atheism doesn't automatically include no spiritualism at all. It only includes no belief in a deity.


By default, that would make spirituality very difficult. No deity, why pray?

Yes but Buddhists are all into Karma (or is that Hindus?) and reincarnation (or is that Hindus again?), which I don't think atheists really partake in.

I think they're all into living life right and meditation, eventually reaching enlightenment so they can enter Nirvana (with an I). Or something like that.

You can believe in all manner of spiritual and super natural things and still be an atheist, just not a god.

Spirituality can be like believing in the life force of the universe or the universal energy or something.

Buddhists believe there are gods. Just that they can't help you in any way so they're pointless to pray to and worship.
