Atheists are very content to have themselves ruled over by a secular all-powerful being, i.e., Government, their religiosity never surprises me.

Simpleforce doesnt think so.


An individual doesn't account to "young people" either.

Go to Northern Nigeria. Ask a Christian farmer who lives on less than a dollar a day how he feels about living in a Sharia democracy.

Because a christian farmer is a great example of the majority of people living in a sharia democracy?
Why do i even bother with you?
Malasia is a sharia democracy by the way and there a lot of people living happy lives there.

In fairness a "Sharia democracy" doesn't guarantee those conditions, plenty of the same in other places with different governments.

I was reading an article less than an hour ago where a woman listed as muslim wanted to change her listing on her license to christian and the court denied it, so it applies to converts too, apparently you are muslim for life over there :D
She cant marry her christian partner either lol.

yep, being a muslim under sharia law = muslim for life more or less because trying to convert is apostacy which is worse than heresy
and inter-religious marriage is not well looked at there, just as in israel - that comes when religion dabbles too much in state affairs

Atheist is a word that has no content behind it.

You might not be an astrologer, so should we create a word that means non-astrologer? Would there be ideologies behind this word for non-astrology?

you might not like the content behind it but perhaps you should look a little bit more closely what atheism means

Atheism means being a non-believer, but we all know that all kinds of things are associated with the word.

Calling somebody an atheist communicates nothing more than non-believer, but calling somebody a Creationist has all kinds of content behind it.
