Is Atheism it's own religion?

They are one of the worst religions right now in this country.

What are the second and third worst religions in the country? And what are the top three best religions, in your opinion?

Some DCUM atheists are flat-out trolls, like this one

Troll or not, the comment is funny and on point.

Sorry, it was somebody trying to be witty but coming off sophomoric.

So I don't see the irony you speak of.

I suspect you are just trolling.

OP here:

Im no more trolling than the Atheists here who insert themselves into every thread and try to convince us that there is no God. If you'll be willing to admit that they are trolling, then perhaps I'll say I'm trolling as well. But we both know that won't happen, don't we? Yes.

Are these recent threads? Links?

I don't hate atheists and even I've noticed the same phenomenon as the OP. You don't need links just find any thread about God in this forum.

+2. Atheists are forever trying to derail religious threads with insults. PP, you don't need links, just find them yourself by opening up a handful of threads on this forum.

You sound very threatened. Why is that?

Was waiting for an atheist to say this. It always shows up....

Pan over to the atheist poster patting herself on the back because she thinks (usually incorrectly) that she's "threatened" somebody's faith by "poking holes" in it.

Atheist proselytizers are actually pretty predictable. Cue "why does God allow wars?"

Another atheist here. God and wars never seemed like contradiction to me. I admit, I know very little about religion beyond that people believe in something and that something can be anything. Just like I believe that there is no god.

I don't follow this forum so I haven't seen this, but I have noticed a lot more proselytizing and blatant religious comments in other forums. Maybe it's backlash from that?

A different atheist here. I've been on these boards for a while and the phenomenon described by these posters isn't something they're making up. For a while there were some of the stereotypical "angry atheists" who got fairly aggressive and obnoxious - even to the point of jumping into threads where the topic was not a question of belief vs lack of belief or where participants specifically asked that the conversation be limited to specific faiths or traditions.

It seems like that trend has faded, but it was pretty pervasive for a while.

I agree, that particular angry atheist seems to have found a new hobby, or been banned (probably for something else) or something. It's been a lot easier to have a conversation about religion recently.

Let's not bring back those days, OP. We've already had a visit from "you sound threatened" and "let's see if I can get you to waste time digging up links for me" and "sophomoric retorts trying to pass as wit" atheists (who may be the same poster) who are all familiar from the bad old days. Let's not stir that up again.

Sounds like some people miss the bad old days.

Don't poke the bear, OP.
