Atheism gives you a greater sense of freedom. You no longer depend on god or are under god. You no longer care about either heaven or hell. You're simply human and you care for yourself and others based on your own moral decisions.

That may intend to make atheists look dumb, but there is so much more and it is much easier to make a Christian look dumb

There's not an atheist over-night class you can take. Most atheists, myself included, came into it with time and have educated themselves about many belief structures. I think there are many more atheists out there, but many call themselves agnostics because it sounds safer or turn the other cheek in fear of prejudice.

I think the bottom line is that people are wising up about living their lives by a doctrine that was written by men no smarter than anyone on this board and with zero historical confirmation.

And you would know this, being an athesst yourself? It's not accurate, there's no belief that "nothing exploded into everything" in science.

Science is God, and if religion does not quite fit into the picture, you are going to have to deal with it.

Humanism is where it's at if you want to negotiate the irrational with respect to Humanity.

People are atheists because of the ignorance, primitivity, hypocrisy, and illogicality of Christianity(or religion in general). It's possible that most athiests are probably more decent than most Christians, as most Christians are so to be socially accepted(to come off as good people)

People are Atheists due to a refusal to accept a BS explanation for life and it's existence. Such individuals would mostly rather look into themselves for a working model, rather than look to some bogus higher power for a solution.

You don't get what? Why atheists believe in logic or why Christians dont?

One thing I don't get is what do you gain from debating about something with a person who don't know or you never will, and knowing that NOTHING you say will change the other person's beliefs and/or opinions.

Well personally after years of being a Christian and growing up and reading more into the Bible I found I could not believe in it 100%. If I can't do that I can't follow it. I doubt there are much more Atheists than before, there are just more people, and more people have outlets to speak their mind, ie: the OT.

One can debate a topic without needing to know them. As for changing a person's views, one cannot rule that out. This is not a Yahoo Fight Room.

Yes I know, but is it that important to want to prove other people's beliefs wrong and on an Internet forum? Let people believe or do what they want.

It's called a debate, and the Internet is the latest medium for such a thing. No one ever expects to transform another through such a thing, unless they are incredibly naive.
