    Yeah, that’s why I sometimes in engage in online discussion when I don’t want to because I can see that if it’s only a certain type of comment then people reading could think there’s a consensus.

    Overall, I honestly think engaging in the atheism discussion was important because it allowed me to learn about religion more and what they believe in … and in contrastI don’t believe in it at all. It also made me discover parts I do like about religion like community and such.

      If I’m being honest, I’ve never argued much about religion because I’ve long known that you can’t reason about it. Religion not being real is a basic truth to me, just like free will not existing or absolute certainly being impossible. The fact that “God” is fake is less interesting to me than how and why people believe in him.
