If atheism is not a relgion, why they want to convert everyone!

But nearly every atheist is happy to let you believe what you like as long as you don't choose legislation based on it.

Tell that to most ‘new converts’ to atheism. Nothing makes a zealot like a new convert.

Sure but people are not born with religion. It's a societal construct. Whether family/location you're born to will influence your first religious exposure. And some of course are born into non religious families, those are not converts. They just are.

And no, I don't want to convert you either. But I don't want my secular government policies set based on any religious adherence.

I often wonder if there IS true separation.

Convened on the first Thursday in February, the gathering, known as the Presidential Prayer Breakfast until 1970, has always included the American head of state.

That is basically the POTUS fellating the evangelical voter. (Not including Carter)

Nasty.

I'm an atheist and I have friends of all faiths and never once has religion come up in a conversation other than randomly (e.g., friend doesn't eat meat because hindu, or friend can't decide which church to get married in). I never hear it discussed until I read your stupid thread here.

DP and I’m not OP. You guys sound just fine, and I have atheist friends who are like you. But you have to admit there are atheists on DCUM who troll 24/7 trashing religion. Why go to all that trouble? Because they want to change minds. These atheists certainly exist on DCUM and elsewhere, like the BIL upthread.

Get over yourselves, because these people are who OP’s talking about, not you.

Can I ask a question - a serious one where I would like a serious answer?

What distinguishes giving one's opinions or beliefs on a subject from proselytizing?

Not everything is about you. OP is talking about the ranting atheists here who definitely DO care that some people think differently from them. Are you denying trolls like the moronic smiley-face poster exist?

But what IS true? Is there one thing that reminds true after a 1000 years or so? Almost everything
that is consider true today will not be true tomorrow just as they were not considered true yesterday.

True is a funny business.

Really?

I don't think so.

Something is true or it isn't. You can be WRONG about it, but that doesn't change the fact.

As Neil deGrasse Tyson famously says: “The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.”

People like to point out fallacies of arguments, not necessarily change minds.

Believe what you want but don’t make irrational or untrue statements. That’s why the big “discussions” churn.

Hey ? poster. Nobody thinks your contributions are rational. You twist everything people say, and ignore every argument that’s inconvenient for you, just so you can keep trolling. Pretty sure most here agree that’s true.

Sorry you weren’t able to make rational arguments on earlier threads. Maybe try harder next time.

p.s. try not to disrupt threads (like this one) with your hateful obsession.
