Would atheist be ok with supporting a 'god doesn't exist'™ campaign on social media to bring the world along?
Changing minds because it won't make the world a better place?
Here is a sample:
The seriousness of religious beliefs is funny™
No. There's a simple reason for this. The word 'atheist' does not mean one is making the declaration that there is no god. To make that kind of statement shifts the burden of proof onto the atheist's shoulders.
I am 99.999999...9% sure there are no supernatural entities of any kind, but because I have no evidence to support a solid conviction, I don't make the assertion. It really is that simple. If you wish to be a militant atheist, be my guest, just understand that making a declaration without evidence is a fool's errand.
Definitely not. Let humans come to their own individual conclusions. We shouldn't force our opinion on others. This will only create anger and aggression towards atheists. I would happily support a campaign that encourages people to think for themselves, do research and develop their own opinions.
No, I wouldn't do it. As much as I dislike religious beliefs, it is their belief, and they're entitled to believe that kind of stuff as long as it is not being shoved down no ones throat.
No, I wouldn't support it. "God doesn't exist" is a positive claim, and you'd have the burden of proof to support you claim. To say "I don't believe a god exists" is different. I don't believe Bigfoot exists, but I can't prove that he doesn't. It's just that I don't have a good reason to believe he does, so continue to disbelieve until I have reason to change my belief.
Plus, it's just too antagonistic for my taste.

You can't ridicule people's beliefs and expect them to come around to your way of thinking.
Each person has the right to believe what they chose to believe but they do "not" have the right to force that belief on to others.
I would not support a campaign of this kind.
Social media will not sway now if it was anti global warming it might.
