Atheists deserve the same treatment as Jews did in 1933 Germany

If I were born a fish, I'd probably be swimming
If I were born a tree, I'd probably stand in one place all my life.
If I were born a monkey, I'd probably howl and climb trees
I truly don't see the reasoning behind the if-you-were-born-something-else-you'd-be-something-else argument.

Well of course you don't if you're using animals and plants as analogous to sentient humans making decisions of their own volition.
The reasoning of this post is that just because you've grown up in a part of the world that has a majority christian/jewish/muslim/hindu/whatever rule that doesn't justify the existence of religion just because you and everyone you know happen to be devoted to it.
If you are devoted then it is more likely because of geographical location, regional traditions, institutions and cultures, peer pressure and in-group bias than of any real divine influence.

if i were to be someone else, i wouldn't be who i am now Remains a tautology, it's also self-contradictory, for if you had been someone else, somewhere else, you wouldn't have made this very post.

True but if I were to still have access to a computer I would still have the possibility to make this post that's the difference.
I probably would spend my time on different sites doing different things but I would always have the option to come to this site and write, the only way for that not to happen would be if I was born in a time or a place that didn't have access to the internet.
There are factors beyond my control which are the reason why I spend so much time on the internet, this is true, but I don't have to.
Until I make conscious effort to brake away I will stay infront of the computer.
Same with religion, until you question it you're stuck with a fate that others have made for you.
Joining a religion isn't instinctual like a fish swimming. I know people from the US who choose to be atheist even though through probability they should be christians.

This makes the assumption that a specific religion is correct in its grasp of God, or that these religions are even able to grasp God or a god. If the scope of their belief is limited, as belief often is, then either the God(s) of which they speak do not exist, or perhaps they grasp at some greater being from which all is sourced. Point being that the example posted is not a reason to believe that God or an intelligent source doesn't exists, merely that it is plausible that many conceptions of God do not exist or are incorrect. If I were raised to not believe in evolution, my belief would be irrational given current theories. If I were raised to believe in evolution, then my belief would be much more rational. Likewise with the different theories of religion. If one is so religiously inclined, then they ought to follow the most plausible theory. If one were to say that the plausible theory is to not believe in God, so be it, as long as they can recognize and counter and contradict these "most plausible" theories of religion.

If there were a God then the most credible kind would be of deism or some kind of wooish pantheism, since neither requires a personal God. Of course I'm still an atheist, in the absence of any evidence that the universe needs that for its processes such as evolution to function.

>God = religious institution
Nah.
Also, all religions are making a comeback amd atheism is no longer edgy and cool. It's actually cringy and nerdy and people see it as the cowardly, inert, impotent rejection of moral courage and conviction that it truly is.
Atheists are just afraid of taking existential risk.
They are the real pussies telling themselves that they are courageous because they had the "courage" to take a stand against a beaten and and weakened christianity (and they are still too cucked to take an organized stance against islam or judaism).
Atheist are literally a fart in the cosmic wind of the universe.

Atheism is a necessity to the thinking mind. Anyone who still believes in the stories of pre-scientific stone age savages should sit at the kiddy chair at the table when adults are talking.

Socialism can only be achievable through the Church in the states. and since most of the working class is reactionary in social matters this cannot be achieved. it will happen. just don't do anything.

truth to be told you are right, the separation of philosophy from religion and being remarried to science and higher math is why utilitarian rule is paramount. making the greatest number of people happy is a fools' errand and you can't do that without making other people mad. democracy is more oppressive than kingly rule. at least under kings, feudal serfs were given a modicum of happiness and no more, even if spread thin, was better than nothing. now everyone's trying to push ultra-hedonism through consumer culture and innovations, which in turn, actually causes more grief than it intends to. science cannot replace faith.

furthermore, modest living and a modicum of hedonism was all a man needed, now its a drive towards an eternal cult of MDMA.

Atheism was a modernist mistake. Savages back then would have you skinned alive for thinking you were above your given tribe and the same goes for feminists too. Pure unadulterated ritual cannibalism. You should be so lucky we live in a capitalist, Democratic society to allow the filth of your kind to be proliferated throughout technology. Without it you're a societal liability.

You can't equate the psychic with the physical without proper evidence. Being able to monitor neural activity does not prove that the psychic originates in matter unless you can prove that neural activity and psychic activity are equal. Not merely correlated, but the same thing.
As it stands, our understanding of the physical world cannot explain the existence of consciousness.
