I Am Not Religious

Nope, never been religious a single day of my eighteen years, nine months and 23 days in the world. It just never made sense to me.

I've grown up seeing Hinduism all around me. And yeah, the philosophy sort of makes sense. I even agree...

sometimes life seems so pointless . . . time goes by so fast . . .
& most of us just sit back & watch the days fly by . . . not noticing how short life really is . . . Did u ever think about that past & all your memories of childhood...

I don't mind if other people are religious... as long as they don't try to convert me or push their beliefs on others. I'm a live and let live kind of guy, and don't think you need religion to be a good person.

I was brought up without the benefit of religion (raised in Communist China for 8 years).  The closest thing to religion were exposures to stories of deities, spirits, monsters and ghosts from books such as Journey to the West or...

hello there, true life worshippers,
I just wanted to put something straight: so often atheism is confused with raw individualism, atheists are despised as amoral beings that only care about  their lives.
That is wrong...

I was raised in a nonreligious family, and taught to make my own decisions. I have studied many different religions, but none of them have appealed to me to the point of joining. I do not judge those who choose religion, I just don't...

So, I wanted to explain something here. People like me criticizing religious concepts and organizations are not doing it because they're nasty and they like to attack good faithful people.
They're doing it because they come from a...

I am more realistic and i am not willing to go and believe blindly just because someone said ancient texts are from some higher being. Please don't preach to me that will only earn you a place on my block list.

 Happy travels, and I´ll catch you all later at the barbecue. 
Bye  :-)

I don't believe in one mighty being. I don't believe in Creationism. I don't believe in Adam and Eve. I don't believe our lives are already written out for us. I don't believe in reincarnation. I don't believe in heaven and hell.
I...

I have a complicated relationship with religion.
That's not to say I have no religion everyone does...
The difference is that some religions are much more mature than others.
For instance one of the newer religion's being humanism...
It...

Quite frankly there are too many rules to follow and I don't need yet another reason to feel guilty. Granted there are those who need guidance, but I feel there are others who need to trust themselves more. For me, following a religion...

I live in India. In India there's a lot importance given to religion. I have seen many things like executing animals under name of religion to please God, giving milk to snakes and forcing them to drink it even when they don't drink it...

Through his etchings, the Spanish artist  (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) bore witness to the Inquisition's atrocities. He was tried and forced to wear the brown habit as a sign of heresy. He finally went into exile in France to...

All of you should look up for George Carlin & Bill Hicks stand ups about religion. Their stand ups makes absolute sense and theist wouldn't have a chance with these guys. i freakin love these guys. unfortunately non of them are alive...

I allow for the possibility that I am wrong, but I no longer believe in the god of any of the theistic religions. I spent some 35 years as a "born again" Christian, but I never curbed my reasoning. The first to go was doctrine. When I...

and I like it that way.. a lot happier without all that mental mind f u c k and confusion,by people that are just as confused as me about it lol
Not to mention don't need any religious books to tell me right from wrong I can figure that...

Lots of people have deconversion stories. They were raised in religious environments and won their freedom from the predominant form of irrationality in our society only after great personal struggle.

I don't. When I was a kid, sure, I...

I fully understand the appeal of religion. For many, it explains how we got here and what we're supposed to do here, as well as provides a sort of protection. The idea of some all powerful being looking out for you sounds very...
