Did the OP ever think that the fire and brimstone bullshite is what turns people off? People don't like being told they're doomed to hell. It's off putting.

So tell them what they want to hear, all while dooming them to hell?

But too often atheists try to push their crap on others who don't want to hear it, just like Moromons and Jehovah's Witnesses do.


Too often?

You talking like when the atheists ride their bikes all the way over to where I am to tell me that God doesn't exist?

I have literally never been confronted by the word of No God™ in the real world.

That shite doesn't actually happen and you're full of shite.

I’m an atheist conservative and agree with Christian values and think they need to be at the forefront of this country. I’m against abortion, don’t care about gay marriage, and say under God when saying the pledge.

I just can’t get over the invisible man in the sky that will send his “children” to a place of torture for not believing.

Why would I be mad?

It's the secular progressive SJW types who are the problem. Conservative atheists leave me alone and support my First Amendment rights.

It’s not about branding. It’s about abandonment of the scriptures for the sake of entertainment and conforming the church to the culture instead of conforming the culture to the scriptures.

Agnostic conservative here. That's pretty much my view as well. I'll defend Christian values to the hilt. I'm just not going to be getting the merit badge.

You Catholics especially should be happy for the apostasy to be happening. It's happening before your eyes.

Remain strong in your faith. It was foretold that this would happen and soon comes the end.

As a conservative atheist, I agree.

There are traditions and beliefs that need to be upheld and taught from an early age in order instill a level of civility and morality for the vast majority of the masses.

I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school from 2nd grade to 12th.

Though I think I would be a decent person without that upbringing, there’s no doubt that it made me think deeper philosophically about different moral issues.

Just because I don’t believe now, doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s needed (for most).

I always laugh when people say atheist push their beliefs on others.

I’ve literally never seen it or heard any specifics from these people and their accounts of this.

Ignoring Christianity, you think it would be OK to ignore Christian values? Cause that's just crazy.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs or lack of them, but the principles of this country were founded on Christian values and the values of this country are worth embracing

Why does it have to be Christian values? Why not Buddhist values? I mean, if the OPs premise is correct and everyone is leaving the Church maybe it's time to try something else?

But something tells me y'all wouldn't like that. Instead you frickers try to strongarm everyone into holding to the values you prefer. The premise of this thread is proof of it.

I think that is shitty behavior. And I would argue it's actually anti-Christian.
