promote healthy atheism

Promoting atheism is a wonderful thing, even if it never leads to conversion. I have many friends, and even people that I don’t know that well who thought atheism is synonymous with devil worshipping. So even just telling people that atheism is a lack of belief in god, and convincing them that it is not devil worshipping, is in a sense promoting it. I have done much more than just that, although I have never converted anyone. The main problem I have run into is when fundamentalists just shut you out. Many think, okay, he’s the enemy, don’t listen to him. They can’t accept the facts. Literally, they take faith over scientific understanding of things, and that’s what makes them so crazy. I have tried to solve this problem over and over, and have found about 20 percent of people are actually willing to listen to what I have to say. That works out to 3 people who I have raised serious doubts with. They now question their faith, the validity of the bible, etc., yet don’t want to accept atheism because of the social ramifications with their family, etc. Anyway, atheism is the word of mankind, it is much greater than the word of god (as invented by mankind), and it must be promoted as much as possible, while free speech still permits it. I say that because in the United States of America, I wouldn’t be that surprised if they decided to repeal the first amendment. Anyway, Darwin bless.
