Because some new age church is giving osteen a run for his money with a Superb owl ad? I think not…

its the lowest its been in history. the lunatics are just getting louder

They’re fighting this hard because they’re losing. Having said that, nothing more dangerous than a cornered violent animal.

I try to guide people into being like human person Jesus, not bible weirdo Christ. Jesus helped poor people, fought the establishment of state/religion, and ultimately was murdered for being a civil rights leader. Philosophy of Jesus and religion of Christ aren't the same, so teaching he was a HUMAN can help distance people from the cults

As a librarian you should be happy they are reading books. Or maybe a book. Nevermind.

Only because they're louder and more annoying than any other group, but it also bothers me that they even exist because they change laws to fit their religion and that's now how it's supposed to work

Why are you worried?
iwarthan59
Cuz they got mark wahlberg

More people are becoming apathetic agnostics. However, theists are becoming increasingly fanatical

When aren't theists becoming increasingly fanatical? The more their belief takes root, the deeper the corruption goes

Yea, they have Markie Mark, but we have something they don't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASn-VdevwTE

That has some good and current info.

Don't worry, as always "my views and beliefs are more valid than yours" as never led to anything bad has it?

Death throws get louder before they go silent and still

I think OP is worried that they got Mark Wahlberg.

How open minded and inclusive of you.

The real dyed-in-the-wool xtains are in their old age, though. Almost anyone who ever had to pass a science exam after 1970 knows deep down that all that biblical shit is just shit with a fancy name.

Every poll ever begs to differ

Polls often get the response people think the pollster wants. If OP is working in a library, it would make sense that they’re probably seeing an uptick in what kinds of books are getting checked out, so they may have some insight.

I hope you’re right

worrying for no reason because you have a gut feeling otherwise about religious affiliation increasing sounds like the inverse of something stupid the GOP would do. let's not be like them please?
Escapist83
Nah, it's still a downward trend.

Praise the lord!
Popnitro
Give me them stats and graphs! Thought we were trending the other way!
iwarthan59
I hope so

I’m worried about anti-intellectualism in general. Khmer Rouge, Iranian revolution, Mao Zedong…it never ends well
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
It’s just that they are going out kicking and screaming
SLCtechie
Just existing they were kicking and screaming.
HopelessNecr0mantic
It's exactly this. A dying animal is the most dangerous. They know their systems of control are on the way out, and thus have become louder and more frantic to enshrine what power they have left.

It's fine. Don't let anti-dogma be your dogma now. You'll find we're predisposed to belief of some sort and might forget you're as human as the rest of us.

I believe this to be true. Wait.
Shit.

There's just as many dumb atheists as there are dumb religious people. They forget to take it a step further and stick to the hatred. But hey scapegoating works both ways
genericgelatine
Whoa. Wow.
EekumBokumEekumBokum
Crazy enough, I'm religious AND believe in science. In fact science is a basis for my religion. Westerners just can't help but look at things from a judeo-christian lens. Meanwhile it's speculated Jesus journeyed to India to learn some of his teachings.

No, it’s only for when someone starts up about their beliefs. You sure like to call people names btw.
