I think the last decent poll showed arfcom at about 40% atheist/agnostic. I won't lump those in together so we can get a better idea of where the forum stands as a whole.
ETA: I know I mis-spelled believe, the devil made me do it.  |

What do you define as a "Godless heathen"? Someone who believes there is no God? Someone who isn't a Christian? Someone who isn't Catholic/Protestant? Someone who isn't a member of the "right" church?

I believe in god, not the church that creates rules to control the flock.
If they are more concerned about your money than your soul - run away quickly. If they protect child molesters and not the child, I cannot, will not trust they are looking out for me or my family. |

You know, you assholes complain about Christian bashing, but then go out of your way to pick fights with those who CHOOSE not to believe. And if you are speaking from an atheist view, you should be ashamed of yourself. TAKE IT TO THE DAMN RELIGION FORUM |

I have trouble believing in something just because some old book says so.
That said I actually respect the Christian and Jewish religions. And I like the fact that someone can make "piss Jesus" (or "dung Mary") artwork, and the Christians don't riot or behead anyone. |

I have read it, many times. I still cannot escape the fact that it is just a book written by man. What makes that book of fairy tales any more "real" than any other book of fairy tales? I believe in something, but it is not Christian. Much more pagan in my leanings. |

Whoa there hoss, I think you must misunderstand me completely. I was inspired to start this thread by this piece of wisdom in another one:
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=646122&page=1 I'm an atheist, as a good many on arfcom are. I'm just reminding our devout (but vocal) minority here that they are indeed not the majority they wish they were. They seem to think that gun ownership=conservative=Christian, but they're wrong.

I'm somewhere between the first two choices.
There is obviously more to the origin of the universe than we currently understand, but I believe it's much more likely to be an unknown quirk of physics than an omnipotent, omniscient, eternal form of life at the controls. |

Like I said, I couldn't tell if you were stating the atheist view or the christian view. And I still say that this religion shit is getting way out of hand in GD. There is a religion forum and that is where these discussions belong. The current "wave" of atheism in this country is fucking repulsive to me and I have NEVER believed in any type of god. I chose not to believe and I also chose to let others do as they wish. I saw a news story this morning about a fucking "atheist tree" with cards instead of ornaments. Give me a fucking break, enough is enough. A "true" atheist does not go around trying to convince others. |

We generally assign the title of "God" to the biggest fish in the universe's food chain.
I don't believe humans are at the top of the food chain. I believe there is a God and He is the biggest fish.

Where did I try to convince anybody of anything? I couldn't possibly care less what anybody's religious affiliations are, I am just asking some simple questions. Yes, I could ask in the Religion forum, where the 78 Christians and one atheist that hang out could see and answer the poll, or ask in GD, where I might actually get an accurate picture of the number of atheists, agnostics, and monotheists on arfcom. Ever taken a statistics class? Do you understand what a representative sample is? |

I never said that you specifically were trying to convince others. The idiots with the "atheist tree" are the ones I am talking about. And as far as your poll goes. Why do you care what religion anyone is or believes in god or not? None of anyones business in GD which is why it belongs in the religion forum. |

Laying on the ground in a pool of your own blood watching lights fade around you, feeling a growing sense of numb, life slipping as people are talking, gathering around you but you cannot hear a thing, you feel calm. Even as you are picked up, rushed to the hospital, you feel nothing, just a growing sense of calm. I believe in God very much and my experiences have confirmed this. A fool would risk eternity with the wrong belief or the lack there of.

I'm agnostic, but very, very heavily leaning to atheist. I think there's a miniscule, even negligible possibility that there is a god or gods. Every day I think about it, the possibility seems smaller and smaller.
