I often feel like the odd one out, believing in something I call God, among secular technologists. I see most #atheism as a rejection of modern dualistic Christian culture. Fine: I've literally no ties to Christianity. Neither am I New Age, though I do think they are a bit closer to the Truth in referring to God as The Universe. Doesn't matter exactly what you call It. Mystics of all origins in all geographies will tell you the limits of names.
I have never, not one time here on fedi, gotten a post across my feed that told me I was stupid or even misguided for not being of a particular religion. It hasn't happened even one time and I looked up hashtags, I follow some Christians apparently. Some Muslims too. Probably other believers I'm sure, and atheists as well.
I have gotten hundreds of posts on my feed saying basically that, just, because I'm not an atheist. They direct their vitriol to anyone who isn't an atheist simply in the words they choose. Look at this very thread for a clear example, go all the way back to the top.
To be fair, most of them came from this one user, they're a particularly immature person. But certainly not all of em.
Just compare hashtags. #Christian vs #atheism vs whatever else you choose. There's ten times as much atheist chatter than there is Christian chatter.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, co-chair of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, has once again proposed a National Day of Reason resolution as a counter to the National Day of Prayer. The resolution celebrates Saturday, May 4, 2024, as a National Day of Reason and urges Americans to focus on the importance of reason, critical thought, the scientific method and free inquiry to resolve problems rather than turning to religion.
(The House will not approve this, but let's do it anyway) #FFRF#atheism
