Why Atheism Feels Like a Target to Christians

When someone identifies as an atheist and views all religions as equal, it can be perceived as a threat by those who believe their faith is the one true path. This perception isn't rooted in actual harm or attack but rather in the deep-seated conviction of the religious individual that their belief system is uniquely valid. The atheist's declaration is simply an expression of their own worldview, not an intentional challenge to another's beliefs. However, the tension arises because the religious individual may feel that the atheist's stance undermines or dismisses the significance of their faith, leading to a defensive reaction. This dynamic highlights the often misunderstood nature of religious discussions, where differing perspectives are interpreted as personal affronts rather than expressions of individual identity.

WHAT IS THE NON-PROPHETS?

The Non-Prophets is a internet show airing at 06:00pm Central time Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Where we navigate through current events, providing a secular viewpoint that adds depth to the unfolding narrative.

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

That's hilarious. Saying all religions are the same proves you either are clueless, or you're just plain dishonest.
