Wow, thanks for reminding me of why I hate my fellow atheists. Like religious believers who believe themselves to have a monopoly on morality, idiots like you seem to think that atheists have a monopoly on reason.
"Maybe if you stated that religion has caused more wars and rational minded people have devised medicines and the entirety of technology, that would have been reasonable..."
Religion has been the cause of very few wars in the history of mankind, compared to other causes. Even so, it's absurd and reductionistic to assume that religion *alone* can be a cause of war; I believe that it is much more effective to say that, because religion has played a major role in societies' pasts (so much so that such things as the arts, theatre, governments, and yes, even the sciences were affected by and sponsored by religion throughout history) that inevitably, the ways in which people conducted and waged war were influenced to some degree by it.
"Atheists means the lack of belief in any god.
And for that reason alone they are far more wiser than any god believer or religious nut."
I think I just lost 10 IQ points reading this.
Lol, dats rite. Sir Isaac Newton? Herr Gottfried Leibniz? Rene Descartes? Blaise Pascal? Robert Boyle? Gregor Mendel? Max Planck? Kurt Gödel? Einstein and his Spinozist God? I am sooooo much more wiser and so much more a bastion of reason and progress to humanity than any of those deluded pricks. Suck it, non-atheists!!!
My reason in pointing out all the dumb shit that plenty of atheists seem to believe is in demonstrating that simply believing in one dumb thing less than your neighbor does *not* make you "far more wiser" or even "more rational and reasonable" than them, especially if you happen to believe in something dumb and unreasonable yourself (many atheists on the internet do believe in dumb shit).
As Richard Dawkins once said (and this is through memory, so bare with it). If Michael Angelo was not 'sponsored' by religion, there's no limits to the amount of other buildings roofs that could have been majestic.
Yes religion playED a major role, now it doesn't. Thankfully society has moved past religion.
The arts etc, is now done by anyone.
Its not the fact that some atheists may believe in crop circles, or any other silly belief. Its that the BIggest nonsense one of all 'god belief', is what they don't believe in.
Its the non belief in a god that makes them MORE rational. I know this sounds peculiar to you, but its because the god belief causes so much world horror and is forced onto children that makes it so bad. We don't force crop circles onto children or make wars (most by the way) from it!
As for your automatic human behavioral defense mechanisms like: "idiots like you". Not called for, there are younger teens reading and they may think you are right :D
Why are you atheist? (atheists only please)
