Dont you wish there was an all Atheist country??

I wish there was a country that all atheist could go to. it would be surely more peaceful/ im tired of turning on the news and hearing the hate that each relegion have for each other. For ex. sarah palin doesnt want muslims to build a "mosque" next to the 911 grounds and everytime i watch the othertv channels or the news they are always arguing about which relegion is right bla bla bla. im tired of these fights. if it was an atheist country we would be solving much bigger problems other than the fact that someone doesnt have thesame belief as you. and dont forget about those relegiouse cocoos who do and say astrociouse things in the name of their relegion. for ex. people saying that gays should be killed just because they like thesame sex. and because it was in the bible. i see more hate than love in most relegions honestly.

There have been a lot of atheist countries and guess what? They weren't peaceful. Just ask Josef Stalin's 20 million victims or Mao ZeDong's 60 million victims.

Saying only religion is not peaceful isn't just a lie, but outright mean.

Yeah, then I wouldn't have to deal with any of them. EDIT: Or just the agressive anti-religion ones.

And if you think a total Atheist country would be peaceful...religous or not, someone always wants power.

This is why I like American we might not like it but its allowed. If I saw anti-gay protesters and if I was gay I would make out with my life partner in front of them. If I knew an extremely racist person in my town I would buy the road they liveon and name it after a famous African America.

or just live in the uk, where 99% of people couldnt care less

We would just find something else to disagree about and come to blows over.

Atheist = labeled

Religion = labeled

Wouldn't make a difference. A lot of them would probably be close-minded.

Japan is pretty atheist as in the belief of no God, but I do believe they have a strong culture of ancestor worship.

Sure, but if you think that's going to solve the problem of intolerance, I think you'd be naive.

Hmm an all Atheist country sounds very interesting. If one were to develop I would like to see how well it would do.

That would also be pretty messed up. Imagine a citizen starts believing in god, would you strip him of his citizenship?Mochyc

Sure. If anything, just to see how the dice would fall.

[QUOTE="forgot_it"][QUOTE="FlipYapTheGrunt"] Agreed...Hey OP, read some history, The Soviet Union was ran by atheists, and anyone who didn't comply to their beleifs were punished by jailing, re-education camps, and in some cases, death. And about the mosque, I am compeltely fine with the free practice of religion, but there is TONS of other places to build a mousqe other than the site were Islamic extremeists killed 2,995 innocent people in the name of their god. It's like christians bombing and killing thousands of muslims and building a church near the site. But you beleive what you want to beleive.

That does look kind of far...

Anyway, I don't think it would make much difference if a country was entirely atheist. There's always something to fight about.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="jaydough"] At the time Stalin tried to take the office of head of state, the Russians thought the head of state had to be close to god. Though, at the time the head of the church in Russia was a tyrant. In order to distance himself from the church, Stalin initially took an anti-religious stance. Once he gained complete control, herevived the Russian Orthodox Church in order to intensify patriotic support.

So, no. He didn't really try.
