As an Atheist Unitarian Universalist, your disdain of those different than you is divisive. Some religious folk walk the walk of compassion, love, and acceptance.

Exactly. I am not a Christian, and some of my friends are, including some of my fellow UUs, and that's, like, a difference of opinion, nothing to get worked up about. People justifying bigotry in the name of religion, sure, I get upset about that too! But this is a UCC, come on.

If it exists, it's wrong. I haven't witnessed it, but there are intolerant people everywhere. I have experienced some pushback from religious UUs, but not overtly malicious.

There is actually a fair bit of truth to that relatively mild "pushback" from some of the God believing Unitarian Universalists you've encountered, and it certainly doesn't amount to intolerance or bigotry. The #atheism of many #atheists is based upon very simplistic "logic" that is quite flawed.

I'm not arguing with you. I agree it wasn't done with malicious intent. I'm just pointing out that there is a fair bit of truth to what was said. I would call it one side of a theological debate about to what extent atheist beliefs about God's non-existence are founded of what may be termed "faith".

Obviously "of" should be "on". I will add that, putting aside atheist beliefs about the non-existence of God being founded on flawed simplistic beliefs about God that may be termed "faith", atheists certainly can and do "act on faith", albeit not faith in God, in their daily lives in various ways.

Robin Edgar @robinedgar59.bsky.social

It is not flawed to not buy into claims that can't be demonstrated to be true, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about those atheists who believe that God does not exist just because the Bible contains flaws and contradictions, or because bad things happen to good people etc. etc.

God Fodder @godfodder.bsky.social

I think that atheists mention bible contradictions and the problem with evil to specifically refute the Abrahamic god, not to universally state that no gods exist. I'm sure there are some who say that but it's pretty rare. I see those as good reasons to not buy into that one god, sure.

It definitely exists. It may not be as bad now as it was in the late 20th century & early 2000s, but I have experienced it myself & I've seen God believing UUs complaining about it. Former UUA president Rev. Peter Morales expressed #antireligious bad attitude in his "stump speech". #UUA #UUism

Oh fuck off with this dogshit, all this shitting on religion is just an excuse to not address capitalism, the actual problem at the core of this. If capitalism didn't exist, religion could still exist and wouldn't be as harmful as it sometimes is.

Religion predates capitalism and is about wish thinking, social control, and power structures. So it still wouldn't be good.
