Atheists

Suck on this.

After years of watching and participating in religious debate, I’ve found 16 common misperceptions that believers have about atheism and atheists.

I can’t speak for all atheists, nor do I believe that all Christians hold these myths, but I do my best to explain and debunk them from my own experience.

16 - We really want to know Jesus and believe in God

15 - We don’t ever experience feelings of awe and wonder from looking at the physical world

14 - We see our criticisms of the Bible as criticisms of God

13 - Our objection to religious proselytizing comes from a fear that you will corrupt our beliefs or make us face our doubts

12 - We reject each and every moral teaching in the Bible

11 - We argue in order to get you to agree with us or to jusify our beliefs

10 - Our beliefs are inherently pragmatic or emotional, and that telling us about the practical or emotional benefits of belief will change our minds

9 - What you call logic is the same thing we refer to as logic

8 - We are monolithic in our philsophical and political beliefs

7 - We view our beliefs the same way your view your beliefs

6 - We are miserable, afraid, and unhappy

5 - We have the same spiritual experiences you have, but deny or suppress them

4 - We became atheists because of some traumatic experience that turned us away from God

3 - We hate God and fear his judgement

2 - We believe that human, animal, and plant life as we know it today came about through random chance

1 - We hate Christians

– Any children born to the wife will be considered Muslim. They will usually also be considered citizens of the father’s country.
– The husband’s permission is always needed for the children to leave an Islamic country despite the fact that the children will also have, for example, American citizenship. Foreign immigration authorities can be expected to enforce these regulations. The ability of U.S. consular officers to aid an American woman who wishes to leave the country with her children is very limited.
– The wife may be divorced by her husband at any time with little difficulty and without a court hearing.
– At a certain point in age, the children will come under the custody of the father or his family.
– In Islamic countries, the wife will need the permission of her husband to leave the country.
