We can and do live side by side in many cases.

But if by side by side you mean atheist respecting your religion then I would have to disagree.

No matter how placid a religion may be, wrong is still wrong.

I respect people to much to pretend to respect some of the non sense they believe.


Lol. I guess you just fucking know everything then, don't ya?



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

They do live in harmony for the most part -in countries that allow it. This "war" on either side is imaginary, only existing in the realm of the paranoid and insecure, much like the console wars. Contrary to what the internet may convince otherwise, there is much more to it than black and white.

Plus people like arguing over pointless things. Neither side will convince the other of anything. It is an argument that'll exist for as long as the desire of self-discovery and justification exist. Pointless and futile, however meaningful and useful.

because unreligious people, and their life and habit  try to interfere with my life.

fix for you and that's also the voice for all many religous people around the world which 100 : 0,1 scale for religious people compare to athiest. 



My thoughts are because both have different aim and agenda, one is trying to promote God and the life after dead and the other is try to Promote there is no God and life is only once, and Both is trying to influence each other. Even if people not trying to influence each other, their way of life, and moral act in the social life is too different and will intersect each other. In the end it will only lead to conflict but the conflict is varied and not always war.



Because religion holds back progress and is the single greatest scam of all time. Religion is a bussines, and a very high raking one at that. But keep saying halleluja while the silver plate goes around if you'd like. Just remember that most of the great atrocities came under the guise of religious intervention. The crusades, the burning of women for being witches, ku klux clan.. And that's just Christianity which is supposed for be the most lenient religion. With Judaism you have surgical attacks on children. The jihad from Islam,
The list of atrocities is so long.
beheading for blasphemy, justifying 40 year old men having sex with 14 year olds because of Holy marriage. Oppressing freedom and isolation from outside world by cults such as jehovas witnesses,
Meanwhile every religion preaches love and hospitality as if morals and ethics would not be able to exist within humans without it.

In my experience, I think in Europe we live (mostly) in harmony. In Japan too.

Every time I see a debate about religion it seems to come from Americans. No offence, just an observation.


I have to agree with that but there's plenty of other regions/countries where religion is the justification behind war and violence. 

Yeah.  The middle east.  Murica  just wields the  bigger stick. History is decided by the Victor.

But religion is not teaching all those you mentioned, especially my religion, you just repeating what media and hater propaganda without clarified the source, and thanks to Islamic Civilization, you wouldn't have a PC and Video games  right now because Islam and their civilization contribute  science and culture to this era, and also help brought back the science from Rome era before Cristian rule Rome. You can blame person but you cannot blame a religion, i admitted having religion is not a guaranteed a person becoming a religious person or a good person, a lot of Muslims and christian made a mistake and ignored their own teaching. But that's how religion help to make people to become a good person but the choice is up to the person. One thing for sure don't just believe what TV, Internet or people say without prove it by your self, because the same with video games and car, people opinion are varied and cannot be trusted.

Atheism is a religion.

They worship something. Whether it be nature or human reason. I think that is why they are fundamentally at odds.
