Religion vs Atheism debate thread

[Hexachordia]

Secularization and atheism has brought materialism to the masses and existential crises.

The term "science" is abused. As if saying a magic word makes someone more knowledgable on a topic.

Truly, I am not against atheism but autocratic atheism which oppresses dozen of billions of people and yet some people still want to apologize for this.
People should be free to believe and think.

Yeah, there is a world of difference between government crushing the populations' lives and cultures and some edgy "influencers" mocking religion.


That said, there feels like a subversive movement, utilizing marketing and propaganda to divide and conquer in so called "free" individualist nations.

No much difference between the flatteries and oppression I know, as much as no difference between flatteries and mockeries. Marketing is a skilled trading in flatteries in forms of advertisement and apologetism, not an edgy business. If I can subverse a system, I will subverse ccp first and close the border to most of the countries in the world, open only to a select few.

You can't have a debate over faith. Faith is not based on evidence and so it's a waste of time to debate someone on the subject.

Christopher Langan tried to prove the existence of God through mathematics. That you can debate.

I think that the discovery and exploration of the huge number of easily accessible natural resources (as well as the methods of their extraction) sent long-starved humanity towards materialism. The ideological and religious base was adapted for this, respectively. The USSR, by the way, resisted this to his very end, despite the "absence of God".
Nothing terrible, it was temporarily, soon easily accessible resources will end, and the masses will again become (will be forced to be) believers and God-fearing.
