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.

Better education, better saftey nets and more security provided by the state. Oh and the rise of people like Ken Ham and co with their everything or nothing attitude I'm guessing.

Atheism. Good. Titties. Good. Titties are just as good as atheism.

(edit) Your definition is pretty damn broad. "Anything not considered by the government as a religion" is a lot of things.

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.

Clearly it happened because the atheists blew up the statue of Christ the Redeemer.

As long as there is little animosity towards religious people, I don't particularly mind.

Titties are atheism. :lol: I'm a somewhat hetero male myself, but I think we could work something out. I would in no way look feminine enough to pass off as female. How about you?
