Ignore the First Paragraph

Postby The Samish Union » Sun Jul 27, 2014 10:50 pm

Because the Freedom of Religion is one of the two political freedoms offered by the union, this raises an interesting question. Anything not considered by the government as a religion is a cult or an organization, obviously. Not to be a hater, but Atheists are banned from visiting any religious institute without a permit or a conversion form from the government or the religion itself. The atomic A symbol, marking atheism, must be on all CIDCs of secular citizens.

Sorry, I just had to explain that.

I believe that the thought of evolution has introduced the "Godless Theory" to the world.

Second, considering atheism predated The theory of evolution through natural selection, this is false.

Indeed. People were jailed for atheism before Darwin was even born. I know this because of the adventures of Casanova, who was thrown into a Venetian prison cell for this very 'crime'. He escaped, though. After that he did what he did best, with the willing support of many lovers.
CVT Temp wrote:I mean, we can actually create a mathematical definition for evolution in terms of the evolutionary algorithm and then write code to deal with abstract instances of evolution, which basically equates to mathematical proof that evolution works. All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

There's a correlation between the development of a country and the religiosity of its inhabitants. The most underdeveloped nations tend to have the most religious populations and vice versa. There are some exceptions to this trend. Probably the most well-known (and most oft-discussed) outlier would be the US, in which 2/3 of Americans considered religion important to their lives as opposed to about 4/10 as the median of 27 developed countries. If the trends continue as they have been, more and more developing countries will become industrialised and with them more non-religious people.
