The atheists I know follow Christ’s teachings because they are good people. The Christians I know are horrible people: judgmental, mean bullies who think they have a right to look down in everyone else. I learned this after 16 years of parochial school.
Oh there’s no doubt about that. I question anyone who says they’re a good Christian and yet follow in what Trump preaches. It’s hate, it’s lies, it’s threats. I’m not super big into Christianity but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the teachings of Christ
They have not only lost their way but have tried to retrofit their cruelty and racism into Christian philosophy. Just like a square peg in a round hole, it will never fit.
Christianity, at its core, is about doing for others, especially the least of us, and living a life of integrity and kindness.
America First and "Christian" Nationalism? Totally agree.
If you're trying to slide true Christianity in there, any Christian scholars worth their salt would disagree.

I am patient. Their day will come to answer for all the nefarious actions they've done to hurt people and cause people to die. That, my dear, will not fly where they're going.
I both agree and am a little offended. As an agnostic atheist, I choose good for goodness’s sake, not for threat of potential punishment. Putting people and the environment above money is a basic ideology held by those with kind souls. P2025 was never about Jesus and always about money & power.
Gandolf, all due respect, but as an atheist I take offense to this. I’m not a believer in gods, but I do respect and understand the teachings of Christianity. In my experience, the majority of people who call themselves ‘Christian’ couldn’t be further from it - as exemplified by Trump’s base.
The "fascist vermin" are the ones who shut down free speech. Whether it be on college campus, social media, MSM, or anywhere else. How many conservative groups have been shouted down and silenced by fascists over the last 4 years? Too many.
You don't have a fucking clue what the freedom of speech is. It is freedom from government persecution for your speech, not freedom from the social consequences of your speech.
But yet, the previous administration persecuted and directly targeted those they disagreed with. But since you support that regime, you support the oppression. You're simply a fascist crying about fascism.
When it comes to actual threats to our freedom of speech, those come from the anti American scum in power right now, the people threatening real Americans with prison for their speech.
Atheists tend to be considerate, caring and more inclined than most to take care of the people around them. Perhaps because they know there isn't a magic entity who's going to do it for them.
On the other hand, some of the most vile acts I've ever seen were done by self-identifying "christians."
I'm a staunch atheist. And yet, I've always agreed with many of Jesus' teachings and beliefs. These parasitic pseudo-Christians would have an aneurysm if they ever acknowledged that Jesus was inherently leftist in nature and wouldn't support their violent rhetoric & harmful behavior.
They use religion as their cover to justify their unloving actions. It makes it easier for them to say and do evil things, easing their conscience a bit by claiming it's in the name of religion.
That's a great narrative: How false prophets have guided a righteous folk from the true path, to give permission to thieves and liars who would loot the house and people of the Lord and lead them to a land of idolatry and sin.
Their religion is the only legitimate one in their narrow brainwashed minds. Biggest hypocrisy imaginable. Love thy neighbor on Sunday, screw thy neighbor Monday through Saturday. Pump out Stepford wives and their properly groomed children to build the congregation so Preacher Joe can gain more $$$$
As an atheist, I take offense at this post. Most atheists are as compassionate generous and kind as most people of religion, and we do it for the good of humanity, not for some after death reward. If all we have is one life, improving all lives is our creed .
Christian Nationalism is a front for Satan and Demon Worshippers. They use the Bible as a weapon against true Christianity.
They do not read, practice, or believe the teaching of Jesus Christ.
Did you really think they would have horns? Lies are Satan's words come to life. FAFO
I haven’t met very many people who have declared their lack of belief in a deity in my presence. I hope it isn’t because they feel inhibited in the current climate. Whatever their reasons, I’ve always sensed a strong sense of ethics which isn’t dependent upon mystical stories and stone tablets.
“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." Marx
Yeap. This is definitely not a religious movement, if we could call it that. It’s all about men personal feelings and agendas. If you fallow Christ, then you would show compassion and love towards everyone. You don’t see colors or wealth. This is about power, control and world domination.
It's easy to believe in Jesus' teachings of kindness and compassion even without believing in Jesus.
What's NOT easy, or even possible, is to believe in Jesus and his teachings and still participate in Project 2025 who's core principles are greed and cruelty.
Maybe because a ketamine junkie rapist appears to have stolen the 2024 election outright for his adderall junkie rapist boyfriend. #Racism and #Sexism are being made legal by unopposed executive fiat. Democrats are useless and all seems bleak at the moment.
No it’s true. An atheist can still follow Christs teachings. They just don’t believe in God. These folks use God as a cudgel so they can get away with the opposite of Christ’s message.
I would take an atheist any day of the week and twice on Sunday over a Christofascist.
I would say the largest portion of self proclaimed atheists get where we are in opposition to organized religion because of the cult mindedness that has enabled all of this. That underlying urge for the flock to defend a wolf in their den over the children they’ve injured out of convenience.

Take a look -- @parkroseperma.bsky.social was is a reformed Evangelical. Worth watching!
As an atheist, I find it embarrassing to all mammals that so many people have lived and brutally died over a fairy tale.
Just sayin'
Or trying to be?
We don’t have to be religious in this country.
A person who’s an Antichrist has been bestowed to so Satan’s bidding either at a knowingly ideal or at a point of being unbeknownst.
Nonetheless, it is evil being spread into the masses from many evildoer’s deeds!
Atheists have morals, we don’t need an omnipotent existential eternal threat to make us behave nicely.
They’re so steeped in opus dei shit, even the pope is offended by their rotten stench.
They are all about moral retribution and judgement They see themselves as god's representatives on Earth. They are to be feared and fought
They do not read, practice, or believe the teaching of Jesus Christ.

All of the fake ministers and gov. officials already know I am Elijah.
They all know God will destroy the land until fake ministers return the money & tell everyone Matthew 19:12 says God prefers same-sex marriage.
Anyone in "churches" will die soon.

The primary role of a christian is to spread the gospel, not to gain political power. Following Christ is (and should ALWAYS be) a voluntary choice.

But remember—the church's manipulation is an intentional quest for power. The church is entirely blind and on the verge of collapse.
