sageoflogic asked: Eh "X doesn't hurt people, people hurt people" is a bit of a cop out. Just like with guns. Yes people start wars and hurt people and commit genocide. But religion helps. Kinda like guns and atomic bombs. Is a highly escalatory factor in most cases.
unusualnotation asked: My feelings on religion? Religion isn't the problem. People using it to justify their agendas is. It's like basing scientific research on an unproven theory and that's what I oppose.

After that little survey...
I think it’s clear that most of you, at least the vast majority of those who took the time to reply, are in a similar situation as myself- ex religious people who started asking questions. This is fantastic news- when people start to logically assess the views given to them along with their birth certificate, reason prevails! Thank you to everyone who took part, it’s nice to interact...

religiousragings:
What an utter load of bullcookies.
While Einstein may have been agnostic in some of his viewpoints, he certainly never believed in a personal god, as this article implies. And I can’t help but find it amusing that people who use the “something can’t come from nothing” argument are adamant in insisting that this argument does not apply to god himself, a being who would have to...

Just a quick update:
A lot more of you have replied to my post asking about you all, and your religious experiences. So far it seems pretty much the same as last time, people used to be religious but lost faith. As I said earlier, that’s a promising sign!

frodo-swagins asked: i used to be catholic, but when i was ten my dad and granddad died in the same month, and people told me god had a plan and that's why it happened. and i still remember me thinking that i don't want to believe in a god whose plans required my two most beloved members of my family dying. that's what started it all, and now i'm an atheist.

After that little survey of our followers, it’s amazing to see that almost everyone who has replied so far was from a religious background. That’s actually a really exciting result, it bodes well for the future that people are thinking sceptically about the views they’re brought up with!

So...
How many of you used to be religious? I’ve always wondered how many of our followers were initially theist, and how many were brought up as skeptics. What’s your story?
