RE: Atheism is Growing
In my experience and in my opinion there are very few real atheists. I run into some people who are mainly anti-religion,anti God ,anti-Christ and most of their efforts, energy and belief is centred on OPPOSITION to beliefs.

True atheists (in my opinion) I have met a couple in my life ,are people who could care less what others believe and are no more disturbed by people who believe in God than people who believe in the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy.Those rare characters who are true atheists don't attack others beliefs or lack of beliefs ,they go through life living with the idea that we are only what can be seen but they are not hypocrites who use the banner of atheism to hide their hatred for religion and God.

Good observations!

Lenin was Jewish.

So what? Being Jewish means you are not atheist?????? Duh! Lenin was ATHEIST as all true communists must be. Part of their religion of the State is God.

I believe that atheists are not bad people.
My oldest brother is an atheist and just about every single person I know (family members included) says he is one of the the nicest man they have ever met.

Believing or not believing in God doesn't define a person, in my opinion.

Atheist are some of the nicest people I have ever met.

According to an interview with a British correspondent years after the Great War, Hitler claimed a mysterious voice told him to leave a section of a crowded trench during a minor barrage. Moments after he left the area, a shell fell on that particular spot. Hitler saw this experience as a message that he was a uniquely illuminated individual who had a special task to fulfil. This story did not, however, appear in Mein Kampf.


Hitler put real Christians in jail and he was not a Christian (except when posing to get votes early on) as he worshiped the old German pagan god(s).

There is no proof of Intelligent Design or Creation. Do you know why? It's because you cannot test Intelligent Design or Creation.

He does not and cannot answer the question because not only is a link missing, the whole chain is!
