It's only relevant because stupid assholes keep insisting on making an issue of
it, which effects everyone else.

It is irrelevant to me with the exception of legal issues such as abortion etc. Otherwise the belief or lack of belief in god is of no real interest to me.

As an atheist since age 13, it's irrelevant to me. But I am a minority.

Look at ISIS. The Catholic Church. Extremist Christians who bomb abortion clinics and kill doctors.

Religious extremists are a terrorist threat.

It depends who you are. For me it is but for others it is very important

Even though I'm an atheist, it is relevant as it negatively impacts society and is used to justify heinous acts and policies.

It is for me.

I am an Ignostic

I was raised a believer
AS a believer I thought understanding God of the utmost import.
SO I studied that.
Which is why I am today an Igtheist/Ignostic

Ignosticism is an Epistomologic position; it is a set of ideas refuting the importance of determining the existence of God. It claims that knowledge regarding the reality of God is altogether unprofitable.

It is the idea that every theological position assumes too much about the concept of God and other theological concepts; including (but not limited to) concepts of faith, spirituality, heaven, hell, afterlife, damnation, salvation, sin and the soul.

IF you cannot even define what you are talking about, or consider it beyond human understanding, how is it you can claim to know anything about it and keep your intellectual integrity intact?

Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the term god has no coherent and unambiguous definition.

God is what you want it to be... you are your own god! You create your life and make decisions everyday. If you have to have faith... have faith in yourself

As a personal deity, yes.

Do you even need to ask.

The god police are the most dangerous on the planet: christian, islamist, buddist, hinduist, communist, socialist, fascist,...

They ALL serve for the grace of their most immediate "leader." Their most immediate danger. A most human instinct, to avoid pain. Yet, we are all suffering from some sort of oppression, and /or restraint.

It is clear from the last 300+ years we are better, each and every of us, to be able to speak freely without violence.

And now we have the "progressives" demanding they are our moral authoritarians. And we have no other choice.

Again we are here ::::: “Progressive inquisition,” anyone?

It's very relevant today since 72% of DT supporters are evangelical. Guess this is a case of 'stupid is as stupid does'.

I like Einstein's view
‘I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the lawful harmony of all that exists, but not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.

and Stephen Gould's [en.wikipedia.org]

It's irrelevant if you live under a rock. Religion in some shape or form affects us every day regardless of our non-belief. That we should have to deal with it is just another of life's burdens that accumulate living in a society of human endeavors, like driving behind people that stop at every roundabout or those that love the Christmas "spirit" (fuck them, they don't have to unload 3 trailers of eggnog every day for 3 months).

If God is all knowing as some claim, and you are only pretending to be good to impress God, then wouldn't an all knowing God, see through your lies and know you're faking it anyway? Be good for goodness sake.

The only relevance is that the concept of god has really fucked up human culture

Yup

It’s clearly not irrelevant to the millions...nay, billions who believe in him/her/it! To we few reasoned and reasoning beings ...yes completely irrelevant.

I most peoples day to day lives, no. But if someone hits you with something heavy, because their god told them to. Then yes.

I think it is as relevant as the existence of Frodo Baggins is...

I think the concept of God nowadays is very much about our aspirations. That will never go out of date.

If they would stop gurgitating, we would better. And yet, the questions will not go. Yet, I do think a semi-house cleaning of historical answers could be accomplished without much notice.

yes

As long as there is an unknown the concept of god will always exist as god is a representation of human ignorance

The concept of God cannot be defined or imagined in any comprehensible way. That's why people tend toward anthropomorphism, because at least they can imagine a big, old man in the sky with human emotions.
