As much as I resent religion, I do believe it's fundamentally a human problem. People everywhere have a tendency to corrupt beliefs in order to justify being assholes to one another.

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

100%

That being said, dogmatic belief systems, which tend to be common in religion, seem to act as force multipliers in this regard.

[–] DozensOfDonner@mander.xyz 5 points 16 hours ago

Yeah especially if such dogmatic beliefs make people think dumb or unethical stuff is somehow okay.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 23 points 22 hours ago

ITT people missing the point and projecting their own beliefs and values.

This is how people "strawman". It's easy to hate on atheists if you just see them all as their asshole members. The truth is that any group has their violent nutjobs and vocal minorities. You can't just say all Muslims are terrorists just the same as you can't say feminists are hateful crazies.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 21 hours ago

The Christian one should be a missionary actually helping people. Christian faith that only exists in church is a false faith

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Is that Elon

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And 'assholes' just appear at random? Nothing in these groups increases or decreases the asshole frequency? Imagine if we thought of all culture that way. Forget about progressive politics changing people's minds and thereby their behavior. "Some people are just 'assholes', what are you gonna do?"

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Assuming the probability of assholiness based on culture is how you treat cultures unequally. You fight assholiness in the individual level. You can't change a culture like that. You can only educate people and they will change their own culture.

The best example of an asshole atheist they could find was one making a shitty anti-theist meme, meanwhile the examples of asshole Christians and Muslims are violent

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (7 children)

CCP and USSR stamped out religious practice, but go off.

As an Atheist myself, don't delude yourself into thinking religion is unique in its capacity for horrors. Humans have that capacity, any group we make would also have that capacity.

well you can find them on social media hating on women instead. a lot of early atheist youtubers went on to become gamergaters.

or look at a popular one like Dawkins who is busy being a transphobe nowadays. imagine being an atheist and wasting the remainder of your precious and only life trying to make the precious and only life of the most marginalized people in society even worse.

or sam harris who literally defended torture.

Assholes of our worser nature?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Also, Nye isn't an athiest. He's a devoteé of Cervinas.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 86 points 1 day ago (13 children)

No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don't think exists?

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Since we are already being unhelpful: Atheist don't all are unsure about if God exists. Some may believe God does not exist, some don't care. Some believers might be unsure or don't care either.

[–] kshade@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

People hate on fictional characters all the time though.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I guess you can hate god as a concept. God can be proven to exists in human minds (no esoteric stuff, just psychology and sociology). You can hate this scientific fact and what it means for humankind.

[–] laserm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

There is a difference between god as a character and God as a concept; the former one is (in my belief) nonexistent, the latter exists as long as his worshipper worship him.

The bottom-left one for Feminists doesn’t fit. The others are things that were created by their own group, for example, the KKK was created by Christians. That Feminist meme, on the other hand, wasn’t created by feminists but by someone else to mock them.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 129 points 1 day ago (5 children)

And the "keep calm and hate god" was clearly created by a theist, not an atheist

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Should've been a picture of Stalin. And the feminist one should've been a picture of J. K. Rowling

Good point. Why would an atheist hate something which doesn't exist. The whole meme is bad.
