Why do non believers like to hang around here?

Yeah? Find me one post with an atheist telling you to stop believing.

After you look up the meaning of the word “proselytize”.

You’ll find many which ask you to defend your beliefs. If you consider that “proselytizing” then that communicates how you feel about the strength of your beliefs, doesn’t it?

GOod point -- you don't find any atheists saying you have to not believe, otherwise something terrible will happen to you (i.e., you'll burn for eternity). Atheists think that we all go to the same place when we die. The same place all living things go. Nowhere.

Atheist don’t usually hang around here.
Antithesis do.

No, but when you see more posts from people who are non believers it makes it strange.
If you don’t like religion just don’t hung around.

If you want more posts from believers, you can start them, and end the strangeness.

Adding to this poster responding to previous one quoted - DC is generally a well educated area. More education typically equals less belief.

Can you share the source? I am curious about this statement. Wikipedia says otherwise:

“According to the General Social Survey, which has collected data on Americans since 1972, people who are educated often are more religious by various measures. For instance, as of 2010 sociologist Philip Schwadel found that, with each additional year of education, the likelihood of attending religious services increased 15%, the likelihood of reading the Bible at least occasionally increased by 9%. The likelihood of switching to a mainline Protestant denomination increased by 13%"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religiosity_and_education

Things have changed since 2010 - 15 years ago.

There is more data if you follow the link.

And it's all old.

“The religiously unaffiliated—which includes atheists, agnostics and those who describe their religion as "nothing in particular"—ranked as the third most educated religious group with an average of 8.8 years of schooling,[6] and around 16% of unaffiliated have graduate and post-graduate degrees.[6]”

Jews come in as most educated group, then Christians and then religiously unaffiliated.

If you have newer or different data, I would love to see it. But please don’t waste my time with statements like “it’s old” or “it’s stupid” I am not making a statement, I am curious about the comment PP made (more education = less religion) and would love to know if it’s supported by the data or not.

Says the bitter Christian, without evidence. Besides, There's not anything wrong with being an anti-theist - it just means that you are opposed to God belief, just as religious people are opposed to lack of God belief.

As usual you wrongly assumed I am Christian.
Then you attack Christians.

You cannot be opposed to “lack of” by definition. There is nothing to oppose.

You should stick to the older data. As people become better educated, they are more likely to drop supernatural beliefs.

DP.

Christians are attacking the US.

Of course people are going to be angry.

Angry because once again you’ve been mistaken for a Christian just because you insult atheists on line?

Chill. This kind of thing happens to atheists all the time. People just assume we go to church, at least it seems that way, because Christians talk about church so off-handedly.

Maybe you should just get used to it. Christians are in the majority in the US – at least right now – and they think they own the place.
