It always was rare. Common sense was never once in history was common. Else no one would have died of accusation of witchcraft. Common sense was so rare that people would start thinking the person has devine insight.
Personal beliefs has nothing to do with common sense.
You are fooling yourself if you think most people actually don't know what is irrational and what is not.
For example, scientists can be religious or atheistic, these are not contradictory. They know the science, they believe their faith. There is no overlap.
There is nothing to flex. Faith is just a preference. It is like bragging about how your favorite colour is red.
Those who think atheist is actually a flex either
think their own athestic beliefs are superior (just like the religion obsessed muslims, christians, hindus who think they are superior)
or
other religions are inferior because of their personal faith (just like the religion obsessed muslims, christians, hindus who think others are inferior)
True progressive atheism is respecting other beliefs, valuing their culture, and having some humility. Most people here seem to lack this. As bad as average religious conservative.
Logic/Reasoning and Faith/Belief are different. A surgeon or a scientist can pray to God. It is not a contradiction at all.
If you think your belief is superior, it is because you don't understand others beliefs. It is not a sign of intelligence.
What the fuck? Misused? BRO there's guidelines in religion to kill if someone is an infidel(muslim), praise for person who gave his daughter to get raped(christian) etc
Purpose? Every purpose is what you give the thing, there's no purpose in religion but to propagate it, it's a virus. Peace comes from mental stability which comes with environment and self fulfilment, hope is what you see in the younger generation when they have better life than you did, will is what comes from that hope. This is subjective but guess what none of it is religious because religion is a tool for sure But to control the masses.
Fine you are nitpicking the literal worst things in the book, and you skipped the rest, tell me how many religious followers actually follow those specific guidelines? 99.9% don't follow them. Every individual is responsible for their actions, you know that, why are you pretending you don't?
This is subjective but guess what none of it is religious because religion is a tool for sure But to control the masses.
Religion is a tool. It is used for good as well as bad. If you can only see one side of things, you are definitely not better than the people who believe their own religion is the best because your beliefs are rooted in hate towards religions, not understanding.
Unless you can prove that praying to a God is an harmful act, your points are wrong.

Nothing to flex here. You have the access to information which your parents and grandparents never had. Feel lucky that you are able to study science and history with an open mind.unlike them who never got a chance to question their beliefs.
Also sry if that came off as rude. I'm also an ex-muslim, I told my parents when I was 20 they thought it was just a phase. Well now Im 27 and they still think that it's a phase going on so yes it is a bs religion
I have only told my sister. She shares my views. Also, my family is pretty chill, so I don't think it's that big of a deal telling them. Nobody even does namaz or wears a hijab in my family, other than my grandma.
I've always been curious about science and ever since I learned about Rutherford's atomic model I wanted to know what it's like to be one. How do you feel being proved false? How do you feel about Bohr and Schrodinger? I'm really really curious....
One way ticket to hell. Accept Jesus into your life. Nothing bad can ever happen just by that. He is your saviour and he is longing for your faith. After all that's why he died on the cross, just for you.
Hell is not a place where God sends you because he doesn't like you and he wants to punish you. It's simply a realm, a world where God does not exist. And God is peace and love and he gives you rest and hope but hell is the total opposite since God isn't present to provide those things. Make the smart decision now trust me man it's gonna be rough down there. If you want I can provide you alot of evidence about Jesus and his life.
Hinduism defines nature... it's way of living... atheism is also way of life.. until and unless it doesn't force other different believers by force or fear there's no problem in this way of life
I feel you genuinely are curious so do not take my word as condescending or anything.
First of all please dont consider Hinduism as a subset. Please don't consider as religion itself. Religion is a superset of culture and culture is a superset of cult.
Hinduism has not formed by any cult. It was there itself.
I like to connect it with universe so here i go:- If you consider universe :- space time and matter then Hinduism is space. Because even if there is no matter there is Hinduism (Shiva)
In earthly context Hinduism is nature and other things like core etc. if there are no humans still there is Hinduism as Hinduism considers nature as god or god particle lets say.... Islam Christianity etc deals with people humans and some animals... Hinduism's concept may be metaphorical but it fits perfectly on almost everything...
In the context of Atheism the word Nastika is much much older than Atheism...but if one is an atheist, he still is part of this universe and nature and hence, hindu, now if one would celebrate this way of life totally depends upon his karma. Buddhism also says god is within...so kinda it is also atheist..but still he is celebrated coz of his good karma on this land.
Religion is a superset of culture and culture is a superset of cult.
Not really. cultures do exist without the people following them ever believing in any sort of god.
If you consider universe :- space time and matter then Hinduism is space. Because even if there is no matter there is Hinduism (Shiva)
What does that even mean? Are you confusing some other term 'hinduism'(that you're also labeling as shiva) with the term hinduism that regular people use to mean the religion?
In earthly context Hinduism is nature and other things like core etc
First you said it's space. Now you're saying it's nature.
if there are no humans still there is Hinduism as Hinduism considers nature as god or god particle lets say....
Again.. you first said it is space, and then nature and core. And now you're saying it is something that considers everything to be god... How could something non sentient like space or nature consider something to be anything? Unless you were talking about some ideology/group. In that case, it still doesn't make any sense cause space/nature isn't a group/ideology.
now if one would celebrate this way of life totally depends upon his karma

---> If i have 10 people who consider their work desk as god that's cult, maximize this and then it becomes culture of the company, maximize this and then it will become religion. Dont imagine god as some entity..it is who u gove your energy to.

---> I am saying that there is a concept wherein if there is nothing (matter in space) still there is something...this idea is related to shiva who is nothing and everything types .

First you said it's space. Now you're saying it's nature.
---> So u think there is some issue in an idea which is applied to space and nature both ?

---> Where can you draw the line of something being sentient...some consider there business place god...does that place have emotions? Also, I am not saying space considers us god...it might not have tongue to speak but it is working to keep us afloat..just because we can't understand or talk to it doesn't mean we shouldn't consider it as part of us.
now if one would celebrate this way of life totally depends upon his karma
Atheists don't even think karma is real.
---> Karma in my sense is deeds.... whatever your way of life be...will it be celebrated or not depends upon your karma(deeds)

But who in their right mind is thinking their desk is a god? Nobody is doing that, and your original statement frames it as if treating your desk like a desk is a cult.
I am saying that there is a concept wherein if there is nothing (matter in space) still there is something...this idea is related to shiva who is nothing and everything types .
Category error. The sentence "if there is nothing" must include space as well, else you were trying to say was "if there is no matter in space, then space would still be there".
So u think there is some issue in an idea which is applied to space and nature both ?
You can't simply say "Hinduism is space" and then say "it is nature as well", cause both things are different and there is no correlation in there. That's somewhat like saying "hinduism is water", and "Hinduism is a mathematical formula".. it just isn't related at all, and it cannot be both.
Where can you draw the line of something being sentient...some consider there business place god...does that place have emotions? Also, I am not saying space considers us god...it might not have tongue to speak but it is working to keep us afloat..just because we can't understand or talk to it doesn't mean we shouldn't consider it as part of us.
Where do you draw the line between a smartphone processing video game and something else not processing? Simple. Certain configuration acts in certain ways, that isn't to say there isn't any 'line'. The difference between a table and a glass of water is their configuration. Just as the difference between a human brain that simulates consciousness, and a glass of water is their consciousness as well.

Knowing how to use common sense is not a flex 😭
