God of the gaps
Often the idea of God functions as a placeholder for what we don’t yet understand.
As knowledge, education & critical thinking expand, those placeholders shrink, and many people naturally shift toward atheism.
That doesn't mean we do not support Freedom of religion!

Morality & god
Appealing to 'objective morality' in debates about God rests on shaky ground!
There's no consensus on what that even means! Yet morality flourishes across cultures & beliefs because humans collaborate, reflect & grow.
Our ethics DO NOT depend on gods to exist.
HUMANS decide ethics.

Claiming Christianity has a monopoly on morality is like claiming your club invented oxygen!
Morality didn’t originate with religion. It’s just a human capacity, shared by all of us.
Could it be many theists/orgs fear their religion will lose its raison d’être without this false, arrogant claim?

Serious question for Christians and other followers of Scripture.
If morality requires God, why do we need our own moral judgment to decide which moral teachings of scripture to accept, reinterpret, or reject?

Our conscience is much older than any scripture.
We choose good because we're born with the raw materials of morality.
Empathy, fairness, care, & aversion to harm emerge naturally.
But the meaning, scope, & rules of morality are shaped by culture & reflection.

If there’s no afterlife, the well-being of others isn’t just a moral duty; it’s a way to honour the fleeting time we all share.
It's not atheism that is nihilistic, but (belief in) eternal life!

Absolutely! The fact that millions live a good moral life without even the knowledge of a particular god logically explains that the god is not the source of that morality. Logic & common sense always defeats religion which is based on myth.

The absence of an afterlife can and does make life often MORE meaningful, not less.
If this is our only existence, every moment, every act of kindness, & every effort to reduce suffering carries weight.
Meaning is not discovered; it’s created through our choices!

The second coming of Christ. ✝️
The literal belief in a ‘return of Jesus’ isn’t healthy, but harmful!
It shifts responsibility away from humanity and leaves people open to fear and manipulation.
Myths might be fine as metaphors, but harmful when used for indoctrination.

Life is complex, I know.
We each experience it differently.
Yet why do discussions about our differences, be they political, religious, scientific, or other, so often turn into insults rather than dialogue?
It wouldn’t happen so often if we were less ego-driven & actually thought before reacting.

Thankfully my inherent scepticism drove me to think for myself.

Why do so many theists dismiss universal, scientific theories, fully rooted in empirical evidence, such as the solid Theory of EVOLUTION, whilst brazenly worshipping Biblical god; an idea entirely rooted in religious FAITH.
