The results are in and the number of atheists or “nones” (no religious affiliation) has almost doubled in ten years. This is cause for celebration in the atheist community.
But does this help atheists prove their point? What exactly are atheists fighting?
Richard Dawkins who leads the forefront on the atheist battle has some strong opinions: he believes in evolution, he is pro-choice, he is a lot of things Christianity is not. However, is he fighting Christianity directly?
Though I agree with Dawkins the majority of the time, I can’t help but get reminded of certain Christian leaders in this word war.
When I think of atheist, I think of revolting against the constraints of a higher power. Also referred to as “humanists”, atheists conform to only what they believe.
Now, considering my definition, is it right for an atheist to impose it’s opinions on another person, Christian or not? Is it following atheist belief to fight God and condescendingly, and at least seemingly, recruit people to their way of thought?
Though I do think it is comforting to think “I’m not the only one that feels confused about what I believe,” but when it is so similar to the tactics that the other side is using… well, it confuses me more.
