These phrases are just very integrated in today's society and people are too lazy to take atheism seriously

There are definitely some ultraspergs who go "praise Dawkins!", but these are dedicated in their nonbelief and very fringe

Atheism is literally a mental disorder, especially since most atheists are just larpers or theists in denial.

Nonetheless, praying when you are in a bind is for most a sign of desperation which, once they get out of, they will mostly go back to being ignorant of God, the Faith etc.

Sauce on this quote please

>>589589

Wow, I didn't know xtians had a monopoly of the concept of "god" now.

>>589592

Atheists know plenty about "the faith"

>>589595

Haha, true.

>Is atheism just a meme and are most people just really lazy Christians?

Churches are graying and emptying, abortion and homosexuality have mainstream acceptance almost everywhere. Just because people utter a few culturally ingrained phrases like "thank God" or "Jesus Christ!!!" or incorporate Christ into superstition and folk religion doesnt mean they are just lazy.

There's no such thing as an atheist in the trenches. Even the North Pond hermit prayed to not freeze to death.

You are right that they aren't Christians, but you're wrong in regards to them being lazy. Actual atheists are few in number, most of these people who fail to join a proper religion just end up believing in a bunch of superstitions and vague concepts. It's a lot easier to believe in some sort of non-threatening god who's got your back, agrees 100% with your own personal morality, and will be sure to let you into non-judgmental heaven where you can hang out with all your friends and family.

Isn't it blasphemy to call on God while cooking a fucking chicken? I'm pretty sure using the Lord's name in vain is a sin.

>People are also increasingly likely to solicit support from God while cooking or exercising.

>while exercising

>literally praying for gains

Wow, it’s almost like invoking God’s help to get you out of a situation is a positively selected trait.

Very surprised it's only a quarter. Then again, this is according to a poll, where fedoras would very likely lie, rather than admit they are hypocrites. Also, we generally live in a comfortable society, so it's not like we're talking about nonexistent "trench atheists."

If you mean swearing then yes that's not ok but the Bible does call on people to pray incessantly

'Pray without ceasing.'

1 Thessalonians:5:17

Vain: producing no result; useless. "a vain attempt to tidy up the room"

synonyms:futile, useless, pointless, to no purpose, hopeless, in vain.

To many it's just an alias for <I am caught in circumstance I had no real influence on and have to get out of now or suffer badly>

God rolls off the tongue more better.

>in your last moments you ask God for help

this is how final judgement looks like

Depends…my father was an atheist, but always questioning his views and the world around him: he found God in his late 40s. Some yes, are just lazy Christians.
