As an Atheist, I don't go around telling people I am nonreligious, but when ever people find out, they always start looking at me in a weird manner; like I am an evil person. But, the funny thing is, I believe atheist (based on my interaction with both religious and non religious people) are usually better people than religious people. So, I have decided to give 3 reasons why. Please read with an open mind.


1. Atheist Don't Kill People in the Name of Religious War
Look at all the terrorists killings going on right now, in Nigeria, and the world at large. People are being killed by their fellow human beings on a daily basis, like they are chickens, and it is mostly in the name of religion. You would never hear of any atheist killing people in the name of his beliefs. Even as far back as the centuries after the death of Christ, you had the Holy Crusades, where Christians massacred non-Christians in their thousands, including women and children.



2. An Atheist Knows There Are Consequences For All His Actions
Most atheist are vast in the knowledge of the universal laws that govern the earth- and they know that for every action,, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Whatever you sow you shall reap. They don't have to wait for a pastor to tell them to do good, or promise them heaven, or scare them with hell, before they do good. Atheists know that it is the wise thing to do. Cos, whatever bad you do to another person, will come back to you; it is as simple as that.

But with religious people, they would commit all the sins in the world from Monday to Saturday, even fornicate all night, from Saturday to Sunday, and then wake up on Sunday to go and ask for forgiveness of their sins in church. And when bad things start to happen to them (as a simple result of all the bad they have done), they start to blame the witches in their village or an imaginary enemy.



3. Atheist Are More Self Reliant Than Religious People
Take your time to do a research of all the people that have changed the world in a positive way, whether through technological advancement, or a medical break through, you would find out that a great deal of them were non religious people. That is because they don't wait on 'God' to do any and everything for them. In Nigeria, you can't count the number of churches we have, but yet, we are still so backward, and mostly poverty stricken. This is because of the low self esteem religion puts in the mind of most of it followers.


That's all folks. If you read that with an open mind, you would agree with me on most of what I have written.

No matter what u have to believe there is God ooo

Oh really?

The similitude of an atheist is like a leave at the middle of the ocean. with no bearing no direction. But anything that comes its way either good/bad.

You may be right in some of your submissions but there is a similarity between you and religious people.

The thought that you are better than religious people who always think that they too are better than others (both within the same religion and outside) somehow places you in the same class with religious people.

It's the same holier than thou attitude.

The bible says whatever a man sows he will reap. In other words, we are responsible for our actions. Atheism didn't teach me that!

Men like Isaac Newton, Galileo, Einstein, weren't atheist and they contributed immensely to science and technology.


I don't feel u re better than anyone cos of what u choose to believe.

Why then stressing much on christianity? Are they the only religion? Atheist most times sound anti-christianish
