I'm not sure if this has been asked, I didn't read through 7 pages of posts...
But I'm wondering why it is that Atheism seems to be on the rise as of late. I mean, I have no problem with people claiming atheism as their perspective. However, there have been many people that I have conversed with lately who seemed to be of Atheistic nature simply because they think "believing in God is dumb" with no further argument.
Since when did it become badass to be an atheist?
And you know that all of these ignorant fools are wandering around somewhere giving our outlook a bad name. It's far too easy to come across people attacking theistic views with nothing more than "Oh haha, you believe in God? I guess you believe in faeries and Santa, right?"
It does not bode well for those of us who actually took time to look into Religions before deciding what path was correct for us. You know, those of us who believe more than "God = Christianity, No God = Atheism."
