Most atheists only know about one religion well: the one they disowned. But they tend to make careless assumptions about the rest when they "oppose all religions equally". And since they are quite uninformed about other religions, they easily fall prey to bigoted narratives.
@dearthofsid am an atheist, all I see in religions is distractions caused by bitterness,resentment for each other & division which eventually deeds predators who disguise as representatives & exploit each religion. Shouldn't schools,better healthcare & jobs be the priority & enjoying life be the goal....but no, let it be. As an atheist I get enough debates just because people want me to trust a higher-power.
@itsbhavikjoshi As an atheist, that's what you see. Theists see a lot of value in what they are doing. There's no forcing them out of it because the constitution guarantees everyone their right to faith. This has nothing to do with schools or hospitals, really.
@dearthofsid @dearthofsid in India it really does have a lot to do with almost everything ranging from schools to hospitals. Don't care about forcing them out if they can't see the futility of the exercise. It does lower one's ability to accept new things but again no law against it. People kill in the name of religion & at times law goes quiet about that too, so I agree... religions rock.
@itsbhavikjoshi @dearthofsid it could be a cliche response but the biggest war that this world has seen to date wasn’t fought on or for religion .. this biggest destructions that are happening now in the world m Syria and Yemen also not for religion .. yes people do kill for religion but people kill for many other things as well for example for women love .. should be call love bad then ??
@Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi In almost all cases, it is capitalism induced imperialism that kills. Religion has been used as an enabler time and again.
@dearthofsid @Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi Capitalists haven't fought any war on religion? Could you name on?

@CZubair Capitalists fought so many wars in so many countries for its own sustenance not for religion. Religion has been used to enable these wars, the easiest example being the creation of Al Queda in Afghanistan.

@Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi

@dearthofsid @Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi religion has obviously been used as a tool, but, none of those wars were fought for religious reasons.
@Sabawaheed @dearthofsid upto you. I see women,can feel love, oil, ego & many more reasons/excuses of war. I never saw a God so I never get why that brings hate/division but it does especially in less developed nations its influence is downright terrible. If your belief in religion is harmless, then your conscience can be free of guilt but those who use something mythological as an excuse of violence, have no defense.
@Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi @dearthofsid
As an atheist, I second this..
Religion has been used as a tool for capitalism and fuel wars.
The answer to the general question,
"Why muslims are seen as terrorists?" Is because that's where the oil is.
Had it been in India , Indians would have been the targets and islam would have been replaced by Hinduism.
@Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi @dearthofsid all these terrorist perpetrations are for strategic political goals including that of ISIS, just that they use religious narrative or rather a prism as their identity is all, which unfortunately was the most wicked one. I'm of the strongest opinion that it was a CIA ploy, so was AQ was created, nurtured, funded and trained by CIA for their own strategic benefits.

@CZubair It's not just anyone's opinion. We have Hillary Clinton on video admitting all that.

@Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi

@dearthofsid @CZubair @itsbhavikjoshi yes where she in detail admitted how n why n from where mujahidins were created n how wahabi islam was transported to Afghanistan that gave saudi terror the way to whole world ..
@Sabawaheed @itsbhavikjoshi @dearthofsid @CZubair It's not like it's some kind of secret. People were praising the mujahedin and bin Laden back when they had been fighting the people the USA intended.

Anti-Soviet warrior puts his army on the road to peace: The Saudi

OSAMA Bin Laden sat in his gold- fringed robe, guarded by the loyal Arab mujahedin who fought alongside him in Afghanistan. Bearded, taciturn figures - unarmed, but never more than a few yards from the man who recruited them, trained them and then dispatched them to destroy the Soviet army - they watched unsmiling as the Sudanese villagers of Almatig lined up to thank the

@Sabawaheed @dearthofsid @itsbhavikjoshi Wahabi Islam wasn't transported to Afghanistan, Taliban existed earlier, CIA funded and nurtured Taliban, used Wahabi extremists funded parallely and joined personally too.
