My position has always been straight-forward and beyond doubt.You are a believer in superstitious nonsense. Christianity is equal to belief in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.
All I need to is to present people like You,as witness...
You can't tell the difference except to claim it's a matter of opinion.
There is ONE great area that throws both atheistic belief, and God directed belief, into turmoil. It is the ABSOLUTE fact that has been proven over and over by science, that neither scientists or non-scientists know anything beyond the basics around us. The proof lies in the fact that science has not been able to cause anyone to live more than 100 years or so. God-religion hasn't been able to do this, either.
And if you say, look at how our lifespans have lengthened from that of, say, only 100 years ago, you are misleading yourself. If you look, you will find various peoples around the world, peoples from any past age that we have record of, right up to the present, some who live to ages longer than we, and some who live shorter lives than we.
Science has done little to improve length of life. Why? Because the universe is so extremely complicated that scientific research has a long way to go to even really grasp how life works in detail. And if they finally understand, we don't even know for sure if they WILL be able to extend life. We simply aren't far enough along in knowledge to know for sure. This having been said, what is there to argue about? None of us knows on our own what is really going on in this universe.
The point is? The point is that since we are so limited in our understanding, and evidence seems to be that it will be a long time before enough scientific breakthroughs will be made so that we WILL have enough knowledge to understand anything, we need to look elsewhere for understanding about which religion is more accurate, atheism, State atheism, God, humanism, Emperor as god, whatever.
One thing is clear. People need/want religion. And anybody who thinks that atheism is not a religion, doesn't really realize that his ignorance is so great that he has deluded himself into believing that he knows way more about the operation of the universe and life than anybody actually knows.
Where can we go for more info, since science isn't providing it? Religious writings/books, the writers of which might have written as philosophy, or they might have written under revelation from God Himself. Since scientists don't know it, check out the other writings. The list of religions can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_text.
Remember, science does NOT have factual evidence for ages beyond about 4,500 years ago. All scientific expression that talks about the age of the earth beyond 4,500 years ago is guesswork. Why? Because the evidences that might suggest how old something is beyond 4,500 years, can be interpreted in ways other than the generally accepted scientific understanding. For example, the idea that the earth is millions of years old is, at its base, based on entire guesswork, potentially flawed interpretations of the evidence, and the honest scientists even express it this way.
Since science hasn't provided a clearly factual knowledge of the age of the earth, we can tell that they aren't providing factual knowledge about anything beyond that which can be proven right here and now by simple demonstration.
Find the philosophy or religious book that fits the facts. The one that seems strongest to me is the Bible.
Life can be fun. Yet we all have fear of the unknown, at least a little. Examine the religions to find knowledge, because science doesn't really have it. Atheism is a religion because we don't have facts that say that God does NOT exist. Atheists simply base their thinking on belief. Atheism is a religion.
