Same here.

@VeronikaAnnJ Without actually doing a head count I would guess that the majority of members on here call themselves "agnostic"
As for a few people despising religion , is it surprising when you consider the evils perpetuated in it's name.

What are you talking about? Atheists comprise the highest proportion of members here, followed by freethinkers and agnostics. Check the profile stats. Only a few atheists? Hardly. Struggling to overcome indoctrination? Again hardly. @Moravian you should check the stats as well.

Also, atheists aren't talking to god, unless you mean saying "Oh God" which is an exclamation, like when we say "Well fuck me!"

@AstralSmoke your post is a false statement as a question. I dislike such posts.

@David1955 Out of interest I checked the profiles of people who follow my posts. Why they do I don't know but out of 16. 8 are agnostics,7 are atheist and i is a believer.
More atheists than I would have thought'
I have read several posts by people who are struggling to overcome Christian indoctrination. One of the first people to block me was a lady who was upset at the realisation that there was no heaven. I was obviously less than sympathetic so she blocked me.
By the way the original poster said atheists speak about god not "speak to god".
Finally I do not call myself an atheist, I just am, and living in a country where believers are in the minority the onus is on theists to be labelled not the other way round.

@David1955 I guess it depends how you read it. Look at the new posts. There are usually about 50% that have something to do with 'God'. Plus, I wanted to post something that would get a large response (I need points ). I normally post about things I consider important (at least to me and humanity in general). This post proves my point. If I mention God there will be a large number of people who respond, including yourself.

@AstralSmoke for many of us it is because we despise religion, the dangerous notion of a monotheistic god, and engage with other people who imagine a world without this nonsense.

@Moravian I was referring to the actual stats from the site (profile questions) in which people declare their positions, and of all the positions atheist is still higher.

@David1955 I understand your point and many of the points made throughout this post. I just find it a bit bewildering why so many are absorbed by something they say doesn't exist. I personally don't let it into my mind very often. I treat it like the poison it is. I have been to atheist meetings and they are even worse. People talk less about god in church. I try with my questions to get people to look at life differently. It works about as well as trying to convert someone to atheism.

Right on.
During my 52 years of agnosticism I had more interesting things to do. I came out as an atheist and I visit this website often.

@sarbot I think agnostics talk about god a lot more than atheists because they think god is a possibility. Personally I talk about god very rarely even though I am surrounded by believers. I also would like a head count of agnostics vs. atheists here as I think it would be distributed pretty evenly. Personally I am sick of the whole agnostic vs. atheist thing and it's usually agnostics who bring it up.

Atheism is not a religion! The current definition that many atheists follow, including myself, is that atheism is a lack of belief in any gods. That's it. PERIOD! There are no rituals. There is no BELIEF! It's just that nobody has provided me ANY credible evidence for any gods in 20+ years of asking. So, don't make this insulting mistake again please.

@ohmiagato "Atheism is not a religion!" lol if you stamp your foot while youre saying that it might help
but srsly, i think Atheism has as many definitions as there are people, probably. Fwiw i srsly doubt the Old White Guy in the White Robe myself, ok. Why look for evidence for something intangible? A "spirit" eh? peace

i did not make the links between atheism and fundamentalism btw
