Nigerians are amongst the most "religious",and not the most "spiritual".There is a huge difference between being religious and being spiritual.

Have you proven to them that God doesnt exist?

You have started again, you studied gambling or what ?
have you been able to establish God's existence beyond reasonable doubt, why then do you need disprove ?

Being spiritual,in my own opinion,is  "knowing" the true nature of ourselves and the reality we live in.Spirituality is about knowing(gnosis),while religiousity is about simply believing(blind faith) in manmade ideologies that form the structures of a particular belief system,i.e. christianity,judaism and islam.Being religious is basically subscribing  to the tenets of a belief system and drawing one's identity of the self from those beliefs.
One does not need religion to be spiritual.On the contrary,religions(especially the Abrahamic faiths) prevents one from becoming spiritual.To a spiritual person,there exists none of that illusion of separation between mankind,but the realization that at our very essence,we are one.
With a religious person,however,this illusion of separation is very very prominent.
Spirituality is about empowerment,while religiousity is about disempowerment,because the state of disempowerment is necessary to manipulate and control a very large flock to do what a small group of socalled christian "priesthood" wants it to do.We are all very familiar with this phenomenon by now,so i won't dwell on it.

@ Poster - can you please indulge me:

1. Please define the term "Atheist"

2. Please give us your personal reasons for calling yourself an Atheist.

3. Please explain to us why in your view, people who believe that the Universe was created by a Supernatural Mind are deluded/ suffering from a virus.

4. Please indicate what you might think of people who suppose that elements such as DNA, staggering in their complex customization for purpose, could have emerged by chance, or as the product of a universe without a mind.

No stress, but i request that you answer these with dispatch, as i am eager to understand on what basis you presume yourself intelligent on account only that you believe there can be effects without causes within logical reasoning. And on what basis you presume others stupid, for believeing in the law of Cause and Effect.

In as much as I wont call myself an atheist, the concept of xtianity is senseless to me. The whole concept is ambigious, insane and pure stupidity, it beats me to see people carry what they know little or nothing about carry it on their head

The world is doomed for hell? and the ONLY way you can save them is by sending your son to die , is that not insanity, trinity laughable contradictions in the bible etc,

Truly without faith delusion[s][/s] its impossible to please

@David
