Came across this article recently, as well as a couple previous ones like it: https://www.npr.org/2024/01/24/1226371734/religious-nones-are-now-the-largest-single-group-in-the-u-s
Agnostics, atheists and religious nones. Interestingly enough, this part sticks out to me: "
Religious ‘nones’ are...
Even though I am technically an atheist, I started out somewhat in my spiritual deconstruction as a Deist. It makes me beg the question, is Deism rational compared to Theism/other religions? Also, I would be interested in hearing from other Deists. I'm at the point in my journey where even...
So after 8 months of giving up my belief in Christianity and coming to a whole slew of different conclusions, I feel like I am at a standstill with what to believe. I don't know what to even tell someone that I am at this point. I claimed Deist first, and then agnostic, then finally agnostic...
Hello all. I wasn't really sure where to put this. I know there is a Humanism DIR, but this is kind of relatable to multiple different things. For quite awhile, I have believed in the notion that everyone should be treated the same with respect, tolerance, and equality all across the spectrum...
So, for anyone out there who is a non believer, or atheist and used to be a Christian or any kind of believer,
did you feel anger when you left your faith/religion/belief system? I find myself angry a lot now, mostly
due to the fact that I feel like I've been lied to my entire life and that...
I am a member of several groups across several platforms, namely reddit and facebook.
The groups I belong to are ex-christian, atheist, agnostic groups etc.
I have come to find that regardless if some people have the same beliefs as you,
there occasionally seems to pop up someone who likes to...
Being a Christian most of my life, and have been very strongly doubting whether it was the right path.
Particularly in the last year, I've found that religious people can treat others horribly in the name of religion
and their, "god." Not all, but the sheer number that do is enough to dissuade...
So about four months ago, after years of doubting Christianity and never really having good "faith,"
I basically decided I didn't believe in religion anymore, and started learning about Deism and became interested in that for a short period of time.
However, that quickly unraveled as well. I...
So now that I've found myself under the agnostic atheist category, it seems one of the most frequently asked questions that atheists get asked is, "where did we come from then?"
I have been asked things like this before. Honestly, I don't really know how to answer. I don't have any answer...
So I'm sure other people have noticed a pattern. I don't know if I would specifically call this a debate. However, I am sure people will have varying opinions.
Now, is it just me, are 99% of conservative Christians politically right wing?
I have noticed that Christians that aren't conservative...
So what are the differences between natural/scientific Pantheism and classical Pantheism?
Natural pantheism - "Natural pantheists don’t believe in any God, though they do worship the universe as if it was one."
Classical pantheism - "the doctrine that the universe conceived of as a whole is...
So about two months ago, I moved my Dad into my house with me and my family after a horrible fall. My Dad has dementia and was officially diagnosed the week prior to this happening. His condition had declined quite a bit at this point. However, when I saw what had transpired, I thought it was...
I keep hearing about this concept pop up in different websites I frequent. What exactly do Unitarian Universalists believe in? I know there is a Church near me, and have people of different beliefs among their congregations.
This is a pretty interesting concept. Is anybody here familiar with it at all?
Sounds like basically a form of agnosticism, but more focused on an actual belief of something, not a god in the typical sense, but a possible kind of spiritual force in the universe, or something to that degree that...
I am curious to who out there is an Agnostic Atheist? Obviously, the term Agnostic isn't really mutually exclusive.
I certainly have seen a lot more people who claim to be an Agnostic Atheist, as opposed to an Agnostic Theist.
I have had a whole slew of different thoughts since my deconstruction...
So, out of the COVID pandemic, I have had some experiences that I will never forget and never quite understand. I am curious to see others opinions on what I went through.
Me and my wife both work in health care. We work in a support based department and don't have direct contact with patients...
I am fascinated by this concept. Both Pandeism and Pantheism. Evidently, lots of Pantheists equate themselves with Pandeism as well in the fact that the universe is essentially equal to, or is, God. In my personal spiritual experiences, I always get this feeling that there is something else out...
