Description

I will be arguing that atheism is a beneficial religion, and it is a preferred alternative to many other religions, as well as being an honest belief, instead of a choice.

Mod note: FF debates are not moderated, even when the vote would otherwise be removed.

"There have never been any crusades in the name of atheism because there is no "deity" telling you to. "

Please tell me where Jesus tells you to kill non-believers.

@Alec

whatever god belief tenant that the atheist abides by. I can't speak for all of them as they all word it differently. They could also add infinitely more arbitrary tenants at their own discretion if they choose since there is no strict limitation on what you can make a religion.

@Wrick-It-Ralph

What tenant?

@Alec

Well, technically, one could theoretically take the one tenant of atheism and expand it into a religion. Not sure what that would look like.

"I will be arguing that atheism is a beneficial religion"

Atheism is not a religion. It's a belief system.

I'm going to debate this later because I have been debating a guy on another site for a while and it is taking a lot out of me so I will postmy debate later when I feel more up to it.
