Can Atheists Be Good Citizens?

[K Frame]

"now i have a question. how come anytime religion/atheism comes up, certain folks on here seem to be about ready to trade blows?
and as for the insults, errrr, BOTH sides of the argument has been trading them for some time."


Religion and politics.

The two topics most likely to turn otherwise rational people into raging lunatics.

i find that atheist don't generally assume others are also atheist. mostly because atheist are in the minority. where as christians are pretty commen to come across.

The atheists I've met generally assume that their faith in a different non-empirically provable belief system means they are intellectually superior to theists. Several of the atheist posters to this thread have demonstrated this very well.

and some christians assume all atheist are rotten scumbags who don't believe in anything of value.

there are always two sides to a predjudice.

mike, that you for that reminder of a fundamental truth. *chuckle*

I'm from the U.K, and while of course that alone makes it a different story, I can't ever recall meeting new people and them asking me about what Church I go to or what Religion I adhere to.

OK, I don't have a very good feeling about where this is going to go.

So, I'm going to invoke the blessing my kind and benevolent God and close this thread.

For you athiests, I'll involke the blessing of my kind and benevolent Dog and close this thread.
