Surely for some of us, belief/realization of a higher/inner power/light/truth/letting-go has helped in guiding /kind/ness?

I've become more of an "asshole" after becoming a Christian, in the typical person's eyes anyway.

Have you become more assured in yourself and your beliefs after connecting more strongly to the divine? If so, this video may be relevant.

Why do they consider you more of an asshole then?

People should just believe in themselves.

i'm an atheist but i don't like how everyone keeps calling us fedoralords, neckbeards et cetera. i just don't believe in any gods, what's wrong with that?

I'm also an atheist, and for sure there are some people who deserve getting memed on a bit, when they're super edgy about it, like "sorry, but I'm too old for fairy tales. ever hear of something called uhhh science? nothin personal, kid." but you're right. it's pretty silly when people break out the fedora memes any time a person casually mentions not believing in god.

A lot of it comes from how insufferable evangelical atheists are. What people overlook, of course, is that the authetism movement is a reaction against how pushy people can be with their religious beliefs in the U.S. Basically, fedora lords are just aping the holier-than-thou mindset they criticize religious people for having instead of adopting a more live-and-let-live attitude.

You don't need to believe in a god to be kind. A religion is just a belief, a way of thinking. Even though I'm a Christian, I'm not kind because I'm one. I'm kind just because I am.
>>37697
There is nothing wrong with that, I highly doubt you mean ill will with your beliefs.

It's the same reason some Atheists complain about Christians. We encounter people in life who would simply rather be ignorant than try to understand others. Instead of engaging in formal debate, some people just stick to name calling.

Winning gives birth to hostility.
Losing, one lies down in pain.
The calmed lie down with ease,
having set winning & losing aside.

This seems to be advocating for a Hikki life where one dies alone
