      religion is unrelated to scientific advancement. “which art school did you go to to go to space”. the two can coexist. im not religious, but these athiest circlejerks are nauseating

        It’s not unrelated. Religion slows down science. For example Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei.

        Just ignore the community and go on with your life.

            Because they don’t ignore people without faith either. They want them to follow their rules by infuencing the law, schools, science, every day life.

                a vocal minority of religious people.

                a vocal powerful and rich minority of religious people.

                And they do make the world worse day by day and the rest of the religious people let them do it. If you stand by and watch you are part of the problem.

        Belief in the unknowable? Sure, go and rub your crystals together under a full moon. Religion? Hell no. It’s a doctrine of oppression, of stifling curiosity and rigor.

          The people who actually did Split the atom were mostly of strong jewish fate. So yes you can believe in a god for the comfort it might give you and still try to logically analyce the world around you.

          There is so much actual oppression done in the name of Religion. Why not discuss this instead of posting repeatedly about how you think the way other people choose to live their life is stupid. Bash the system not the people

            “Bash the system not the people” That’s what my comment says. Learn how to read. Faith/belief is personal, religion is a system.

            and others can choose to have faith

            and they also always choose to force their faith onto others. And don’t tell me you don’t because your religion does it for you by influencing law making. They all do.

              are you not aware of the influence which mainstream science has on the law? everyone is just supposed to trust those in power because they went to a fancy school. as i said, im not religious, and i believe in most of modern science.

                mainstream science

                is a made up term. There is science that went through peer reviews and got checked over and over and over again and then there is made up nonsense. There is no such thing as “mainstream science” or “non mainstream science” and there is no such thing as trust in science. Every day science gets debunked and redone and done better, nothing is safe not even Einstein’s theories. Scientists who got a Nobel Price get proofen wrong. Scientists from the most “fancy schools” get ripped apart for wrongdoing too.
