Oh shit, I'll be right back, got to go tell my wife and kid they're not real and it turns out I'm gay.
Not to mention, all of us atheists most likely came from religious backgrounds. Atheism isn’t fuckin genetic.
Lol fucking truth
How do you know you're not a mutant?

Hey! I'm not gay. I mean, yeah, I'd do Henry Cavill but that doesn't count.
So say we all 🙏
It’s a bell curve.
Question:
The reasoning in the commenter’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:
A) Incorrectly assumes that atheism is a hereditary trait that can be subject to natural selection and extinction.
B) Fails to acknowledge that the existence of atheists with children contradicts the claim that atheists do not reproduce.
C) Makes a hasty generalization that all atheists share the same sexual orientation and emotional state, without sufficient evidence.
D) Mistakenly treats antinatalism as a universal characteristic of atheists rather than a personal philosophical choice that varies among individuals.
E) Overlooks the possibility that atheism can continue to exist independently of the reproductive choices of current atheists, through the persuasion of others or change of belief over time.
I think they are mostly being anti-gay. Just imagine they didn’t say atheists and it makes sense.
The whole point of the commenter is stupid because if atheists do not reproduce then every atheist is a child of a theist, hence atheism will continue to exist as long as theists exist.
I'd say E undermines their point the most completely, whereas the others undermine their garbage argument. Based on this and not much else I'm inclined to believe that E would have the best odds of leading to a conclusive discussion.
Dont really want to talk rn. Just found out im gay and depressed.
Me too. We should kiss our sad gay selves out of existence. Tell my wife I'm ambivalent towards her.
Thirty-nine per cent of Australians now identify as non-religious, up from 30 per cent in 2016 and almost double the 22 per cent of Australians who ticked the “no religion” box a decade ago.
In the mid-1960s, less than 1 per cent of people in Australia identified as having no religion.
A blip indeed. Statistically their grandchildren are likely to be non-religious, good chance of being atheist.

People trying to use their understanding of science to explain god. Its fair to say that we wouldn't copy their science homework.
Bruh this is so insane it's both tragic and hilarious at the same time
Instead I will align my life centred around a story about a dude who sought out 12 guys to hang out with which then concluded with a supper where he asked everyone to pretend that they were consuming his body.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I don’t know any highly educated Christian of my generation (millennial) who is deeply religious. Even if they tell everyone that they are religious they rarely go to Church or even pray at home, and their Bible is somewhere in a box in the attic. They don’t even indoctrinate their kids with their religion. Chances are high that their kids will be atheist or agnostic. They will run the world.
Christianity is slowly dying out in the developed world at least in the parts with a good education system and where most people trust the sciences. I bet the same will happen to Islam in the west. Once the third gen muslim migrants are all dead the generations afterwards will slowly turn non-religious. End of the century the descendants of Muslims who are in the West for generations and middle class and educated will be atheist or non practicing Muslims.
They will run the world.
The Christians are working non-stop to make sure there isn't a world for them to rule.
The meek shall inherit...
Wait a minute. I'm not gay.
You are now. Sorry. I don't make the rules.
Dammit. I’m a depressed gay atheist.. now I’m also a stereotype?
Someone needs to send him a list of Atheists. God blesses Atheists with fame, fortune, and children. If he gave up his false belief in God, he too could have a blessed life.

Ahh yes exactly how biology and psychology works . You heardbit here first people only atheists can make atheists because duh GOD and not science. I wonder why god didn't give the people who follows it brain oh i got it because then they won't follow it.
You know what, they're right. I'm gonna start sucking dick.
Wow. I’d better tell my wife that I’m actually gay that our children don’t exist because I don’t believe in Teh SkyDaddy (tm).
This man sounds gay and depressed
"my empirical experiences support that, so that must be statistically correct!" Also yeah like he has never met atheist with kids...
Or atheist kids with religious nutbob parents
I never understood how this have sense. I could be depressed because life is shit unfair and I can do almost nothing to change it. But at least I am not pretending to have an imaginary friend that solves all my problems. I think it is better to accept the reality as shit as it could be instead of lying oneself to be happier.
Until their children became gay depressed atheists and there are no grandchildren coming.
there was an argument that was popular in the 70s about how evolution was aiming at intelligence; the breeding habits of the retarded have disproven it.
Atheist here. Successfully reproduced, still alive, and offspring will probably repeat that feat.
