Been here three years and as of yet nobody has ever SHOVED religion down my throat.

Hardly. I have yet to have a fellow agnostic member knock on my door and invite me to church.
Or, tell me I'm going to hell.

I think your terminology is incorrect...religion is not shoved down anyone’s throat here at Agnostics, that is what religious zealots do whether we like it or not! No, you are confusing discourse with dogma I’m afraid. What we have here is a whole spectrum of choice of posts, and groups to engage with, or not. There is no obligation here to respond to any particular post, and there are many topics to choose from, religion only being one amongst many. There is no subscription, joining is completely free, and we are also free to participate or not. If we don’t like a post we are free to ignore it, and we are also free to voice our dislike of it, as long as we do it in a courteous manner.

There are many people who have been harmed by religion, or are still feeling the after effects in some way, or are being shunned by family because they have found the courage to say that they no longer believe. This site is a sounding board for them to vent, and we as a community are here to support and listen to their fears and anxieties. If you cannot understand that, then perhaps this is not the site for you, but I hope you don’t just leave, but decide to stick around and contribute to our community, because you may just find that we are actually quite good company when you get to know us.

Not at all.

No, the trolls are for amusement... lighten up!

Not shoved down, but yes, there are a lot of posts about religion. If you notice, most of new members feel like posting something to relief themselves of what feelings they have been carrying. Specially because they found mind liked people.
Personally, I do not care for getting into every post. So I just ignore it.
Find your favorite groups and hang out there. I see no religion on the gardening, pet and on the art and craft groups. The menes r us group has some really funny religious memes. I truly enjoy those

Wow, thanks for pointing that out! I really hadn't noticed posts I just scroll by.

Religion in this community is likened to a discussion of things like star trek or superman.. If you're looking for a forum that doesn't discuss myths at all, good luck!

What you get here are discussions about religion, its destructive effect on people and society and to point out its hypocrisy and the promotion of ignorance, superstition and magical thinking.If you have no interest in the topic, get the fuck out.

Lots of discourse/discussions and I mostly do not get into them. The site is helpful for those who DID have religion shoved down their throats and still have struggles sometimes.

No. And: getting more religion than even if you were a preacher, lived in a church . . . "blah blah"? Uh, that is clearly silly and you know it. You are scrabbling for attention for some reason little boy. Bug off.

As someone who came from a religious background, and went through the deprogramming process, I can understand why those who are still doing so, or have done so, post things about religion.

For some, the deprogramming process can take years and they might not have anyone else with whom they can vent/release some anger, or get support; or a have place where they can be open about what they are thinking.

And, I must have a very different view than you of what it means to have religion "shoved" down my throat.

I'm trying to post funny and uplifting stories. We all need distraction from the COVID-19 pandemic.

No.

What religion?

All I have seen is those still suffering from what religious beliefs have done to them!!!

Uh ... no.

What do you mean about religion being shove on you here at agnostic?

I don't like all the prattle about religion

Does seem to be the main topic. I generally do the same thing here as I do everywhere else, I ignore them.

I feel sick of posts criticizing Christianity. As an atheist since 13, that ship sailed away decades ago.

I joined Agnostic.com for relief from religion, to enjoy like-minded people.

People hang onto bitterness and anger. It only poisons the person holding onto it.

Religion and religious people are certainly actively discussed on this site, but I do not see that as religion being shoved down anybody's throat.

From what I can see, religious people have a half-life of less than two days here.

religion is certainly often discussed if that is what you mean...

Nope, definitely not. There is a lot to talk about here...if you look under religion and philosophy you are going to encounter some discussion (no force-feeding) of religion. Don't like it? Don't go there. There is very little discussion of deities in the cats groups, apart from the acknowedgement that cats are little gods.

Not at all… If anything, religion is bypassed ..with the vast majority of our contributors concerned with its underlying causes.
