will ever put a gun to your head and force you to believe. I’m shocked by how angry and hateful atheists get at their fellow pedes who bring up prayer or faith. You are acting exactly like liberals, going in to a post just to hate-reply. It’s sad. All we are doing is praying snd encouraging others to pray. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. There’s no need to harass those who want to. We are all on the same team here.
Where i used to work, a group of people got together by the flagpole every day at lunch. They didn’t demand anyone join them. They didn’t force the company to make prayer mandatory. They just got together and prayed, and everyone else moved on about their day.
There’s no need for the infighting. God bless

Atheists don't exist. What people who claim to be atheists are is usually agnostic or sometimes an anti-theist. Think about it. The definition of an atheist is the same as agnostic in most atheist's minds. They say "I don't believe in God, therefore I'm an atheist". Not so. You may be an agnostic or an anti-theist depending on any declarations you make. An agnostic refuses to make a declaration one way or another. A declarative statement would be there is no God(s), or there is a God(s). "I don't know" makes no declaration about God(s) and is, therefore, uncommitted speech. I ask people who identify as atheists to commit and then we know if they are anti-theist or not. Did you know that a good amount of people who say they are atheists believe in God? They think not believing in religion means they are atheists. It's a common mistake.
You're an anti-theist. Self-identified. I have no problem with how you identify or what declarations you make. My issue is with using the English language correctly. I'm a student of ontology, a former agnostic, and just want to define things within the laws of language. The word "atheist" is too broadly defined by people and has no defined descriptor. It's become a meaningless word by encompassing too many meanings.
They follow the laws of language.
