Atheism IS to blame

Actually if your consider religion to be this telephone game of charlatanism and WHAT ATHEISTS ACTUALLY DO TO CHRISTIANS. Which is "You see ACTUALLY wouldn't Jesus want you to do and believe what I'M saying? ACTUALLY it should be me. Jesus ACTUALLY would agree wit me."

Hym "So Atheism IS to blame. If you actually believed that I was going to burn your soul forever you might do what you're doing or you might not still be doing what you're doing but your sure as hell wouldn't pretend to be me. If it said don't kill and you kill. If it said don't steal and you steal. And you leave the people who actually believe no choice but to receed into their own solipsistic existence. That's what Sam Harris wants to do. That's what the religion wants to do. Everyone wants to do exactly that."

infantile atheism

Happening regardless of the upbringing in the family where a child is raised, this phenomenon is where an infant or a young child identifies himself as an atheist until the age of 6 years, after which he / she will be old enough to start grasping the concept of religion like his / her parents and older siblings.

It's interesting to see how infantile atheism plays out; my four-year old nephew declared he didn't believe in God, even though his parents took him to church every Sunday!

Hard Problem of Atheism

The intellectual burden of proving a universal negative in an infinite universe. Atheism, in its strong form, asserts "There is no God/gods." The hard problem is that disproving the existence of any conceivable deity—especially ones defined as transcendent, outside spacetime, or intentionally hidden—is logically impossible. You can disprove specific, testable god-claims (e.g., a Zeus who throws lightning), but not the abstract category. This forces atheism into a defensive, reactive stance: it's a rejection of theistic claims, not a positive worldview with its own explanatory power for why the universe exists or why consciousness emerged. The strongest atheistic position is thus often "I see no compelling evidence," which is itself an agnostic statement.

Example: A scientist declares, "The universe shows no need for a designer." A theist replies, "What if God is the reason the laws of physics exist and are intelligible?" The scientist cannot prove that isn't the case. The hard problem: Atheism can dismantle bad arguments, but it can't erect an unassailable fortress of certainty. It's left standing in the rain of existential questions, armed only with an umbrella labeled "insufficient evidence," while being asked to explain the storm. It's a negation in search of a positive foundation, which is why it often morphs into naturalism or scientism to fill the void. Hard Problem of Atheism.

Commodification of Atheism

The process by which disbelief in gods is turned into a marketable product, identity brand, and revenue stream. It transforms atheism from a simple personal stance into merchandise (Darwin fish stickers, "Friendly Atheist" hoodies), lucrative speaking tours, Patreon-supported podcasts, and book deals. The "movement" becomes a marketplace where clout, audience size, and sales figures can become more important than philosophical coherence or ethical action. Your lack of belief becomes your brand.

*Example: "The commodification of atheism was complete when the big-name skeptic started hawking branded brain supplements on his podcast. 'Support critical thinking and get 10% off AlphaBrain with code RATIONALITY!' The audience wasn't a community of freethinkers anymore; it was a customer base for a lifestyle brand built on not believing in supernatural lifestyles."*

Elitization of Atheism

The development of a hierarchical, often insular, and intellectually snobbish culture within organized atheism, where a self-appointed vanguard of "proper" skeptics polices ideological purity, dismisses less educated or philosophically nuanced non-believers, and treats religious people as a monolith of idiocy. It creates a priesthood of the godless, where correct jargon, familiarity with specific authors, and a performatively militant stance become the tickets to acceptance, gatekeeping the simple act of not believing.

Example: "At the meetup, the elitization of atheism was palpable. When a new person said they left their faith because 'it just didn't feel right anymore,' a panelist scoffed, 'Feelings? That's epistemically worthless. Have you even read Dennett and Harris? You sound like a theist.' They'd turned a lack of belief into an exclusive club with a dress code of condescension."
